The Yamaha receiver is a wonderful sound. The connections are varied and combined. Only that when HDMI only sound and picture is looped through, and the sound is not the same as they had hoped processed cost me a little enthusiasm. Therefore me the sense of HDMI ports on receivers do not open up, except just to reduce cable clutter.
Shortly some values:
+ TOP processing, though no aluminum on the front panel as with higher-class models
+ Sound is top class in Surround
+ Many sound modes that make the movie and music seem even more stunning
+ Class stereo sound, thanks to Straight mode!
+ Compact design
I operate the receiver with JBL CS460 speaker system! Highly Recommended. But larger front speakers are recommended for stereo enjoyment!
