Yamaha RX-V1500 A/V Receiver

Strengths: Very nice current and high watts per channel. Many options which really work.

Weakness: Can't think of any right now.

Very nice punch from the high current of this unit. The remote does it all and more. The price for all you get is great, and the sound you receive from this unit is well worth more that the cost. I've listened to many other AV Receivers above and below the price of this peice and nothing really can touch it. This is a great buy and value. Your going to be looking for all formats of recordings...

Yamaha RX-V1500 A/V Receiver

Strengths: YPAO with optimizer microphone, THX programming, highly configurable, 8 digital inputs, good power 120x7

Weakness: remote control

Overall, the RX-V1500 is great choice for home theater or music. The YPAO will have you set up optimally in any room in a matter of minutes. The digital inputs are assignable so it’s more compatible with different equipment (optical/ coaxial). The power is very good, but I was hoping for just a little bit more. I was originally considering the RX-V2500 but could not justify the extra $100 or...

Yamaha RX-V1500 A/V Receiver

Strengths: Slick simple design, highly configurable, easy to use, great setup tools, tons of inputs and outputs, good power.

Weakness: Sound quality a little weak

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with my Yamaha receiver, the setup was easy with all of the inputs and outputs and the YPAO setup. YPAO worked fantastically, I was very pleased with the results it came up with in a matter of seconds. The sound quality is a little less refined than some others, but it more than makes up for it with good power and THX support. The slick design with the hidden front...

Yamaha RX-V1500 A/V Receiver

Strengths: A seemingly infinite number of surround modes, great remote, solid build quality, user friendly

Weakness: Remote doesn't light up

I spent several weeks researching every brand of receiver imaginable. After doing so I narrowed my choice to the Pioneer VSX1014 and the Yamaha. I chose the Yamaha because it had the A & B speaker buttons and speaker inputs which the Pioneer did not. Once I got the system hooked up and took a listen I knew I made the right choice. The sound is absolutely outstanding.Of course this may have alot...

Yamaha RX-V1500 A/V Receiver

Strengths: Read the manual and the operation is pretty straight forward. Very flexible

Weakness: zone / 2 when operated with the amp will cut out rear channels in main room. use the pre out for zone 2 and an external amp to control zone 2. works great.

Very pleased so far. I can't stop messing with it. Just like any new toy or piece of equipment. Sounds great. Pretty easy to set up. Takes some patience to go step by step. Make notes as you go along. The remote is sweet.

Yamaha RX-V1500 A/V Receiver

Strengths: Sounds beautiful! Accurate surround modes.

Weakness: A little tough to get to know, slightly complicated.

I bought the Yamaha 1500 with the Klipsch Synergy series speakers and it has turned out to be a great pairing. The system has very good clarity and the automatic (YMAO) speaker setup is pretty good for quick setup of your surround sound. For a mid line stereohome theater option I highly recommend the Yamaha 1500.

Yamaha RX-V1500 A/V Receiver

Strengths: Great power, many sound options.

Weakness: ?

I upgraded from a technics to the 1500. It's like having a whole new system I hear sounds in my cd's I've never heard before. The 7.1 stereo mode fills the room with music and the sound separation while watching movies is like being in a theater. I prefer the design of the RXV over the HTR series.

Yamaha RX-V1500 A/V Receiver

Strengths: The best surround sound I have ever experienced, ease of use and to program with onscreen. Many features and multiple component hookups to list. Movies are almost the same as in Theaters.

Weakness: None

This Yamaha RX-V1500 receiver is the first experience with a Yamaha product and the best receiver I have ever had. There are hookups for as many components as I would ever need. It is very easy to program and use via the on-screen steps. The quality of video and surround sound is superb. It is really as if I were at the movies. I know for sure I got a great deal if not the best receiver. I will...

Great Receiver

Strengths: Good clean power, endless features, YAPO, Great price.

Weakness: Like everyone says, the remote isn't beautiful, but it works pretty nice, and can learn from your other remotes which is nice.

Where to start. This receiver has very nice power output without sounding strained. However, I have my system in a very large room with a JBL E250 powered sub and it could almost use just a bit more power. I may add an external amp for my stereo speakers (Infinity Beta 50's). But, it certainly sounds good now and shakes the house so it's probably just throwing money away. There are tons of...

Yamaha RX-V1500 7.1 Channel THX Select Receiver

With its medium price point, and loads of features, the RX-V1500 represents an excellent value in an AV receiver. With power to spare, the RX-V1500, delivers exceptional sound with its high-current design and low distortion. Three useful features are: Video Conversion, which enables mixing of S-video and composite video inputs and outputting them in component form; YPAO automatic room setup...
