YAMAHA RX-V385 5.1-Channel 4K Ultra HD AV Receiver with Bluetooth

I love this. With an HDMI cable to my television I can perform ALL functions with the television remote. Ergo, You only need one remote. There are more functions on this receiver than I will ever use. It is highly adaptable for any environment. When I turn off The TV, the receiver is turned off, and vice versa when I turn on the television. The best part, for me, is the volume is set very low (can be changed) when the power comes on so there is no possibility of blowing out your speakers. Definitely a win-win for me. I do not have to remember to turn the volume down before I power off.

I previously owned this exact model and it served me well for seven years of everyday use. So I ordered it again. I use it as an AV amplifier, with various inputs -- Roku, BD player, analog computer, CD, etc. The YPAQ auto calibration is a godsend. My only complaint is the face of the unit is completely black and it's sometimes hard to find the input select (I don't use the remote control for this purpose). But it's easy enough to make P-touch labels for the controls.

I know next to nothing about speaker setup, but this receiver has been a blessing. It is very simple to connect speakers to the back and channels very high quality sound. It looks sleek despite having a little big, and the display screen on the front is very helpful. It never overheats and stays at a comfortable temperature.

Mediocre product really. The sound kinda blows compared to other manufacturers but it works. I wouldn't purchase it again and would look at Dennon and Sony as better options

This unit is a replacement for the same unit I purchased 9 years ago. The first one worked very well and had great sound. I was kind of surprised it only lasted nine years but that's pretty good and definitely got my moneys worth out of it! This new one is great and has really good sound and function. The connection ports on the back are slightly different, only 4 HDMI ports instead of 6 like the old one but plenty enough for my setup. This is a great receiver with great sound and ease of setup. If you want to customize the settings there are plenty of functions that you can fully customize. Like I said this is my second one of these units and I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone who wants great surround sound for their entertainment center. You won't be disappointed!

Everything is great, except the YPAO microphone and Quick Start Guide is missing in the box (probably due to this is used unit). It is not a big deal because I did get the manual from Internet.I could not make my DVD player and VCR work with this unit via RCA ports. I have tried AV2 and AV3 but only sound came out, not video. Will keep testing to see why (hopefully these RCA ports are not defective due to used unit)

Excellent sound, easy to set up and plenty of videos online to help you trouble shoot anything. Heavily recommend!

I know this is a cliche but this thing deserves ZERO stars. The specs clearly indicate it can be used with a TV that only has an optical output. However, that's a lie. Because if no HDMI is connected from a TV to the eARC port on the back of the receiver, when you press either SETUP or OPTION on the remote. the device displays "NOT AVAILABLE"... so you're completely dead in the water, unable to proceed with any form of setup. This renders the dang thing unusable.Also, every time you toggle from one input to another, it always turns on some unwanted echo-filled sound processing and you have to hit the STRAIGHT button on the remote to get it back to how you had it before. EVEN WHEN YOU RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS INPUT. This is insane and very annoying.Also the manual (if you can even manage to figure out how to download it) is practically worthless as written. There are no setup procedures to follow from start to finish. Everything just defers to some other part of the manual - so you just keep getting batted around like a tennis ball from one unhelpful page to another. But sadly that's not really noteworthy in today's electronics world.
