Nice receiver but hard to use... |
|
The receiver produces great sound and has pretty much all the hook ups you could need. I have had some trouble with the onscreen display and programming the sound fields. Overall, this is a good receiver but can be difficult to use for the novice (or even slightly advanced) user. |

resolution switching issue |
|
Good receiver for the money. Nice options with one-touch pre-program on. Could use one more HDMI IN, but not major. I was having a major issue playing cable box source. The receiver hates dealing with resolution changes on the fly sent from TWC box. Going back and forth between 480-720-1080 can create just static and flashing. I thought the item was defective but new replacement did the same thing. SET YOUR CABLE SOURCE TO ONLY 1080. Deselect 480 and 720 outputs. The box must upsample or something. This way the receiver doesn't have to deal with the issue. Never an issue when this is done and all other sources play fine. Made my heart stop the first time since the $2K TV was also new. Glad it was the receiver and Americancivilwar replacement process was good. Remote is decent too. Overall 4 stars. |

Back From Hell To Heaven |
|
I was going through a little hell with a pioneer vsx-918v.I noticed one of the other reviews on this Yamaha also mentioned that Pioneer model as well.I could get alot of bass from the pioneer for dolby digital and dts movies but hardly a trace with the cd setting.After spending countless hours on the phone with several tech support people,I was told that the pioneer is not designed for stereo music and that was why I wasn't getting any bass with my cds.I really don't understand this explanation.I am really happy with this receiver after returning the Pioneer to Best Buy.It pretty much does everything I need it to do.It has wonderful bass on my cds which has given me more confidence in the newer receiver models out there.The only thing I wish it had is a switched ac input on the rear of the unit.This Yamaha does not have this.But the Yamaha is heaven compared to the Pioneer.Yamaha RX-V463BL 525 Watt 5.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver |

Awesome quality low-end receiver w/great nextgen features |
After trying 4 different models (Onkyo TX-SR506/TX-SR576, Pioneer VSX-918V and Yamaha RX-V463), I decided to go with solidly made, the Yamaha RX-V463. This receiver stood out in all aspects except the HDMI 1.3. Americancivilwar description says it's HDMI 1.3 but it's actually 1.2 but supports full 1080p pass without any upscaling.
I bought this primarily to listen to music in a 2.1 setup with Infinity tower BETA 40 fronts and Infinity CSW-10 sub. This Yamaha receiver brings fullness to all different kinds of music I have played so far like ABBA, Alien vs. Predator, Frank Sinatra, Bee Gees, Chris Daughtry, Light Rocks/Ballads and my wife listens to a lot of Blues, Jazz and R&B/Souls using different formats (CD, DVD, MP3). I have connected my IPOD using Yamaha YDS-11SL dock and it's great as I can control the IPOD menu using the receiver's remote control unit and the OSD (On Screen Display) capability let's me display the song titles in the receivers display area.
Another great feature is the compressed music enhancer sound programs as they bring extra richness to the old generation music.
The RX-V463 receiver is fully capable of playing Blu-Ray disc formats (PCM audio and full 1080p video).
The receiver is light weight and doesn't get too hot (consumes only 240 watts of electricity and less than a watt when in standby mode which is lot less than many of the night lamps I use at home) and yet it produces deep lows, crisp highs and clean mids.
I rated this as a 5 star because you can't get anything like this at this price range but I won't call this receiver a future proof for all your media entertainment needs.
Hope the review helps!
Thanks,

Perfect Fit |

I'd only replaced my old Sony 5.1 reciever because it wasn't capable of playing the PCM tracks from the PS3 Bluray. I had looked at the newer Sonys but stumbled upon this. I was pleasantly surprised at the wealth of features at this price point. The YPAO and OSD made dialing in the setup a snap (once I figured out the OSD needed it's own video input) Only minor tweaking was required to get it just right. I really like that you can set an initial volume. Far to many times I'd turn that old Sony off while the volume was high only to get a surprise early Sunday morning. |
