Yamaha RX-V363BL 500 Watt 5.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver Reviews
Suitable for use with similarly priced speakers and other components. Seems well made. We use it in my son's room with Bic Venturi speakers and JBL subwoofer and it rocks the house. Looks good. Sounds good. Access to secondary features is kind of obscure, don't loose that remote.
I was able to get the receiver $121 shipped, and was well worth the purchasing. So the HDMI is pretty useless folks. I connected the optical digital connection from the receiver labeled "Sat/TV" to the opticial digital connection of the HD cable box. Well, I purchased it anyway, and i'm glad I did. After that, it worked like a charm. 4)Terrible manuel. I currently have a HD Player, but will soon be in the market for a blu ray player. Instructions: Hook up your dvd/blu-ray player directly to your television for HDMI video.
For sound, I used an optical digital connection from the DVD player, to the "CD" optical digital connection on the back of the receiver. Had this receiver for a week now, and have no issues whatsoever. 3) Was able to get it to work properly after using the optical digital connection. I have a 50 inch plasma, and wanted a good but inexpensive receiver for sound. 3) Configuring up can be a pain for the novice. Pro's:. For sound watching the television. 1) No HDMI for sound, only video.
I heard the horrible stories about the HDMI video only. 1) Cheap price. 2) Great sound for inexpensive receiver. Once I get the PS3, or standalone player, i'll get the sound using the optical digital connection.Enjoy. 2) Only DTS. Don't bother buying it for this reason alone, unless you would like to use HDMI for video ONLY. After reading the countless reviews about this Yamaha Receiver, i had my doubts about purchasing it. I'll get the cons out of the way:.
I'm using it mostly for the audio portion of regular television watching since my new Panasonic big screen television has such poor audio speakers. I also listen to alot of music that comes over the digital cable. I planned on hooking it to some in-wall speakers but couldn't find an area above the fireplace to cut two 12 by 8 inch holes so I bought some Bose Acostimas 3 speakers and they sound great. I bought this Yamaha receiver to replace an old Aiwa system and have been very pleased with it.
In the end I had to plug the PS3 in with the white and red analog cables (you can change the audio settings in your PS3 config menu to output with these) and I'm happy. Full 5.1 sound would have been nice, but it's not a killer for me. Otherwise, it's simply amazing for the price. I misinterpreted this as the audio doesn't flow through the HDMI out, but still plays through the attached speakers.
This wasn't the case. Just be weary that the audio doesn't pass through with this device. This was extremely well priced for what it does. I read other reviews and a lot of people noted that there is no audio pass-through from the HDMI cable.
I got this to replace another Yamaha receiver that didn't support HD. The main reason for this purchase was that I got a PS3 and wanted to full experience.
Buy this item, don't think twice. Like I put in the title so much more than I thought I would get.
