Yamaha RX-V663
Strengths: True HD audio; HDMI 1.3
Weakness: none
This one of the best receivers you can buy for under 400. After doing a great deal of research and testing, I narrow it down to RX-V663 and RX-V861. The are both about the same price. I desided to go with the newer RX-V663 and was not disappointed at all. The 663 has a faster processor and uses the latest technology such as HDMI 1.3 for better picture and sound. I highly recommend this receiver,...

Great Value here....
Strengths: Price! Surround Sound decoding Sound Quality Inputs Flexibility HDMI v1.3 support Relatively small format and heat output Good manual and product support Tons of speaker support (even 9.1) Mu
Weakness: Only 2 HDMI inputs Clips WTW and BTB (technicality that does not affect most people). Possible HDMI handshaking issues with certain equipment. Global sub crossover setting (applies to all speakers)
Yamaha's newest mid-class receiver (Spring 2008). Plenty of reviews and tech info at avsforum.com Yamaha introduces a new level of features for a real low price. You see everyone else following suit now (onkyo, pioneer, denon). For me, I'm not the video/audio-phile, but been around enough to recognize quality. This thing is real easy to use, yet can be tweaked out if you feel the need. No it...

Excellent A/V Receiver
Strengths: Sound quality, Auto calibration to optimize each speaker Lots of options
Weakness: None
The receiver was very easy to set up and obtained excellent sound quality from my theater room. The receiver auto calibration feature was easy to use with the supplied microphone. The system automatically determines the optimal equalizer setting for each speaker, in my case 2 fronts, center, 2 surround backs, 2 surround sides, and a subwoofer based on the location of each speaker, the room...

Good blend of features, performance & price.
Strengths: HDMI & optical inputs. Auto calibrating feature with included microphone.
Weakness: There is no upconversion and only 2 HDMI inputs, it is still very heavy and bulky.
This system was easy to set up right out of the box. The optimizer microphone made good adjustments and the 4 listening templates were simple to alter as desired. It is also one of the few AV receivers in its price range to include a phono input - a big plus in my book. I'm not a big fan of digital sound enhancers, but Yamaha has done a nice job with theirs. Nevertheless, being sort of a purist,...

Yamaha RX-V663 A/V Receiver
Strengths: Great value; nice features; future proof
Weakness: Only 2-HDMI inputs; cheapie OSD graphics; difficult to use speaker terminals
We were putting in 5.1 surround sound into the master bedroom, along with a set of speakers for the master bathroom. We didn't want to spend alot of money, but still wanted good sound and feature set. The receiver had to be as future proof as possible, as we will likely add a Hi Def DVD player ast some point. This just released (Spring 2008) seemed to fit the bill. Setup was fairly easy, with one...
