I'm quite happy with this receiver. I also have the next higher model in the Yamaha line. I was impressed with the higher model so when I saw this one for a good price I jumped on it. I think the only difference is that this is a 5.1 model and the higher one is 7.2. I use the receiver for listening to the radio, listening to my iPod and listening to streaming music. I use Google Play music so I have to use a Chromecast device plugged into one of the receiver's HDMI ports. I'd like to find a receiver with Google built-in, but I could not find one so this will have to do. The video interface works fine and the receiver has all the settings I want, although some are a little hard to navigate to. At the current time manufacturer's like to keep the front of the unit pretty streamlined which means many settings require some effort to set. However, I think I can control more from the front of the unit than with many other products. I am a fan of Yamaha, primarily because of the quality / cost ratio.Read full review

While I'm not an audiophile or computer nerd I do appreciate good sound reproduction. I did hours of research and read many reviews. The addition of video upscaling and voice control plus the exceptional pricing put the RXv485 at the top of my list. This is the first new receiver I have owned and it has not disappointed. Setup was a bit of a challenge but I now have a better understanding of current electronics. Looking forward now to expanding the system and taking advantage of the receivers capabilities.

My husband just hooked it up today and so far it sounds great and is fairly easy to use. It was packaged very well. The only complaint is that is smells very strongly of smoke. Hopefully that will fade with time.

This is a good looking and well functioning receiver. It has all the bells and whistles I need and a few I don't. Easy to use and had a nice price.

If you're serious about a high quality surround sound system and don't want to break the bank, this is a very good receiver. It outputs at 4k and the sound quality is good. This was perfect for me because the room I've installed this in fits a 5.1 system perfectly.
