Customers are dissatisfied with the speakers of the av receiver. They mention that all speakers stopped working, except the front right. The sound quality is okay, but only the front two speakers will play. The HDMI 1 output stopped working. The picture switches, but not the audio signal. The unit sometimes doesn't make the switch and you have to set the function. The jack, no speakers, and audio returning to the amplifier. The bad design. It also only has one optical audio input. The receiver also randomly turns itself on and off.

All the features I wanted.

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020

Color: BlackStyle: RX-V485BL ReceiverConfiguration: w/o Wire and PlugVerified Purchase

With the advance of streaming technology over the years, the old basic amp wasn't cutting it. Over the past years I've used a DNLA server , Bluetooth adapter, Chromecast audio and seamless, quality streaming was not happening. With the purchase of an iPhone, I decided to get an AirPlay compatible device so I could stream anywhere in range of wifi. Works better than I expected! The robust features and ability to view the program menus on a tv display over the HDMI output make complex configurations much easier. The A/B speaker setup was tricky because they are treated as zones out of the box for surround sound. You can change this to standard A/B zones by setting the program to 2 channel stereo. Once you set it up, you can even control volume independently, which is nice because I have indoor living area speakers and outdoor. The only caveat to this is when you control audio from your phone, it will only adjust zone A. This doesn't matter too much because if I'm inside, I can use the remote that came with the amp. The other feature I really like, but did not expect, is the ability to hear both channels of stereo through one speaker channel. This helps outdoors where there is no left/right channels. I can now hear everything in a song. There's another thing about volume control with your phone and the Apple music app - you apparently can't exceed a certain level. I downloaded the Yamaha 'AV Controller' app and it gives me nearly complete control, including volume through the entire range. I am very happy with the purchase and would buy it again. The sound quality is great, I've compared this with other high end amplifier reviews, audiophile and reddit board posts and it compares favorably. You need to be able to read a manual and figure out programming to use advanced features though.

Great Product, Definitely Not Plug & Play

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020

Color: BlackStyle: RX-V485BL ReceiverConfiguration: w/o Wire and PlugVerified Purchase

I am not a home audio genius and neither is my husband. Due to a lightning strike last week our DVD player with integrated surround sound got fried so we had to replace both components, the surround sound and the dvd/Blu-ray player. Unbeknownst to us, this receiver requires a subwoofer with an amplifier, so that was an additional purchase we had to make. The “quick setup guide” was not exactly helpful with solving some more technical issues during setup and we had to go online to refer to the actual owner’s manual. And when we hit another brick wall, we called in a friend who knows home audio- and it still took another 3 hours to get it correct. I can’t even tell you how many times we had to run the YPAO to find out why the rear surround sound speakers weren’t working. The product itself is great, sounds amazing and works perfectly with the TV, dvd/Blu-ray, Firestick and subwoofer, the remote is easy to use, and the wireless connection setup to the internet was quite easy. Just don’t expect a “plug & play” experience.

Incredible sound and features for 400USD.

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019

Color: BlackStyle: RX-V485BL ReceiverConfiguration: w/o Wire and PlugVerified Purchase

Yamaha says it is 80 watts per channel, two channels driven. I can tell you this is a terrific entry level receiver, that should be more than satisfying for most users building a first system not wanting to break the bank.

It is important to manage ones self expectations. This won’t be the receiver for super high end sound, or even to make a huge roar from watching movies in a huge room. This is a very good receiver to get great surround sound from efficient speakers.

I built a system around this receiver for my sister. She has Klipsch speakers, RM-14 that we got from 100usd, at holidays pricing. The system is terrific specially when considering the investment.

I have built systems costing in excess of 14k and 20k USD, and for movies, I can say that with 1.2k including this receiver you can get around 60% the sound you get from the 20k system. I specify “for movies” because music reproduction is a whole different animal. But iff your focus is movies, and you are not thinking about that incredible sound you heard at a friend’s place, this receiver could be the one powering a very entertaining small home theater.

YPAO room optimization only takes one reading and I wasn’t particularly impressed with what it did the first time. Pay attention to room noises that could affect the readings because since you only get one reading, there are no corrections from further readings. A second run really improved the sounds both from stereo music but also from multi channel movie tracks.

Again, this is a great piece of equipment for only 400USD. Yamaha made a great one with this. I even tried my Kef LS50 with this receiver and they sounded quite sweet. Far far from their potential, but they did sound good.

Works well, sounds great, nice integration with streaming services.

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2019

Color: BlackStyle: RX-V485BL ReceiverConfiguration: w/o Wire and PlugVerified Purchase

I got a new 4K HDR TV and was excited to hook up my Roku Ultra HD, only to find that my receiver, a 5 year old Yamaha that looks exactly like this one and advertised "4K compatible" , doesn't support HDCP 2.2. So no 4K.

So in essence, I had to buy a new receiver that was virtually identical to the one I already had because the industry decided to change their standard and obsolete all fairly recent products. Not happy.

That said, this receiver functions almost identically to my older unit and sounds virtually the same (I didn't even have to read the manual). I have very expensive speakers for music, and (sorry audio snobs) but most of today's receivers have virtually no distortion, so although my speakers are large, they're very efficient and most modern amps/receivers sound phenomenal; this one provides more than enough power.

I like that I can set the receiver to remember settings for different inputs, so when I'm listening to Tidal or via Bluetooth it's stereo using the nice speakers, and I only engage the center and rear speakers for TV and movies.

HDMI-CEC works nicely - hit "Home" on the Roku remote and the receiver turns on and changes to the HDMI input.

All in all, a really nice receiver for the money, no complaints.
