Technically and visually convincing AV Receiver

The Yamaha RX-S600 I had to buy because of lack of space in my Low Board. The device is impressive but also visually and technically in addition to its compact size. It is easy to operate, looks elegant and brings an extensive network functionality with (Airplay, DLNA), which is quickly applicable for non-technical people. The system here works without objection together with both the latest iOS, as well as with my NAS (Synology DS212j). It is supported here with various apps (tested on Android phone and iPad), which can also convince and work well.

For sound: I am definitely not a HiFi specialist, but together with my Canton GLE 490 delivers the Yamaha a warm and full sound. I'm very satisfied. However, I've tested the receiver only in stereo mode, but I think also for surround sound, the sound is good. The power of the amplifier is sufficient for my needs from (25 sqm rooms). Perhaps not suitable for sonication of larger halls, but for a normal living room no problem.

Negative points: You could perform more than the somewhat purist OSD. Since notice that however gets to see only the initial setup usually it's no problem for me. After all, it is output via HDMI and do not like the Pioneer VSX-310 Composite.

Conclusion: Pretty amplifier which convinced both technically and optically. I would definitely buy it again.
