Great Reciever
By Shannon Horwitz
I purchased this receiver at Ultimate Electronics in Nov 06 for $1000. I absolutely love this reciever. I compared this with the denon for around the same price and both are very comparable. The only difference I saw was that the yamaha reciever was easier to switch between modes for other devices and the different sound settings that are used. I have the system hooked up with my tv using the hdmi cable and all other devices are also hooked up through the reciever. This is great because I only have to use 1 remote to control which device I am using since I don't have a universal remote. The receiver delivers 130 watts to each of my speakers and sounds great. What I like about this receiver is that their is not a million little buttons all over the place and the ones that are their actually do something. Here are some of the specs on the receiver and a link to decide for yourself whether this receiver is for you.[...]MAIN FEATURESHigh Sound Quality 7-channel 910W powerful surround sound (130W x 7) Digital ToP-ART with extremely high quality parts and devices used throughout Pure Direct for higher fidelity sound reproduction 2 in/1 out HDMI (ver. 1.2a) for handling digital signals including Super Audio CD Assignable amplifiers for bi-amp connectionAdvanced Features iPod song titles displayed on front panel and on-screen display Improved YPAO sound optimization Superior zone control with additional zone remote unitHigh Picture Quality 1080p compatible HDMI (2 in/1 out) High-definition video up-conversion De-interlacing (480i to 480p) Wide-range component video bandwidth (100MHz -3 dB, 1080p compatibility)Surround Realism CINEMA DSP with 23 DSP programs Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES 96/24 compatibilityOTHER NOTABLE FEATURES Audio Delay for adjusting lip-sync (0-240 ms) Dialogue Lift for dialogue to screen center Selectable 9-band subwoofer crossover frequencies Subwoofer Phase Select Night Listening Enhancer ensures can be heard clearly at low volumes SILENT CINEMA and Virtual CINEMA DSP iPod song titles in English language on the front panel and on-screen display Detachable power cable Extended remote control codes Remote terminal for Zone 2 or Zone 3 Dual programable +12V trigger outputs

the right choice for me
By john c.
The 7 band equalizer makes all the difference for me.I am able to adjust each speaker individually for all 7 bands as well as volume output.My subwoofer sounds much better using line {pre-amp} out jacks,rather than speaker line out.I like hearing 7.1 channel stereo while listening to songs,and surround sound from dvd movies is awesome too.

Sounds Great
By S. Shelton
We now get the full surround sound effect. It is complicated to set up and we are still figuring it out, but we do get better sound effects than we were getting with our older Yamaha receiver
