YAMAHA RX-V385 5.1-Channel 4K Ultra HD AV Receiver with Bluetooth

This unit is a replacement for the same unit I purchased 9 years ago. The first one worked very well and had great sound. I was kind of surprised it only lasted nine years but that's pretty good and definitely got my moneys worth out of it! This new one is great and has really good sound and function. The connection ports on the back are slightly different, only 4 HDMI ports instead of 6 like the old one but plenty enough for my setup. This is a great receiver with great sound and ease of setup. If you want to customize the settings there are plenty of functions that you can fully customize. Like I said this is my second one of these units and I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone who wants great surround sound for their entertainment center. You won't be disappointed!

70 YEARS! Best ever , not only for the money, but it actually maintains quality when you ,um, accidentally turn up to listen to favorite tunes. I am so very happy I didn't get to, once again, going to All the high dollar (trash) items.Just take it from a guy who almost Never writes these reviews. Well, Yamaha deserves accolades of praise. 70 years old and finally a going home present.

I bought this to replace a defective, Bose Life Style 48 - 5.1 system.The YAMAHA RX-V385 5.1-Channel 4K Ultra HD AV Receiver with Bluetooth, Works with: 6 Ohm Bose Speakers.The System Sounds Awesome.

Easy to install and works as I expect with one exception. When I turn off the television to have only sound from the receiver, the sound stops for about 10 seconds, every five minutes for almost an hour! I’ve looked up this kind of activity and can’t find a reason anywhere. Otherwise, I would give it five stars.

My Kenwood home theater receiver after 20 plus years went out. I was so concerned as it was the best amplifier that I've ever had clean sound with the punch when you want it. I bought the Yamaha and I'm so happy that I chose this one. It is great. Easy setup. Great sound and the Bluetooth is everything that I could ever want. Sounds a lot better than the Kenwood that I had but it had a long life. I think I found my new manufacturer for audio is going to be Yamaha.

I have used Yamaha products in live sound settings with great results, so when it came time to replace an old receiver at home this one had the features I wanted. After an easy set up, I used the enclosed microphone to set the surround levels which was pretty handy. Great sound and video quality with plenty of power to spare.

Very happy with product. Able to control volume on streaming programming with my Roku remote. Unit powers off and one when I power on my TV with Roku remote. Unit also attempts to automatically switch input when it detects signal from another device like Blu-ray player or game system. Very convenient. Great sound. Just look through the full users manual online and get the settings right.

I know this is a cliche but this thing deserves ZERO stars. The specs clearly indicate it can be used with a TV that only has an optical output. However, that's a lie. Because if no HDMI is connected from a TV to the eARC port on the back of the receiver, when you press either SETUP or OPTION on the remote. the device displays "NOT AVAILABLE"... so you're completely dead in the water, unable to proceed with any form of setup. This renders the dang thing unusable.Also, every time you toggle from one input to another, it always turns on some unwanted echo-filled sound processing and you have to hit the STRAIGHT button on the remote to get it back to how you had it before. EVEN WHEN YOU RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS INPUT. This is insane and very annoying.Also the manual (if you can even manage to figure out how to download it) is practically worthless as written. There are no setup procedures to follow from start to finish. Everything just defers to some other part of the manual - so you just keep getting batted around like a tennis ball from one unhelpful page to another. But sadly that's not really noteworthy in today's electronics world.
