Build quality looks excellent. Normal Yamaha. My 2.1 system sounds like much more.
Easy to hook up all the wires and connectors. Really minimal documentation....quick set up guide, Kinda works. User guide only available on line. Does not really explain how to use its features. No idea how eArc works but my TV has it and the receiver has it. How to turn it on the receiver to match the tv...no explanation? How to use the other hdmi connections on the receiver to use on the tv again no explanation in the user drive...Almost returned the unit out of pure frustration with the lack of how to do things and getting sound to come out of the speakers
I've been waiting on this receiver to go on sale for nearly 3 years now. i finally pulled the trigger and couldnt be happier!
Plays music.
