It took awhile after I got the unit to hook it all up because I was just plain lazy. Little did I know what I had in my possession other than the fact that a friend of mine that works at Sears recommened it to me. This system beats my parents system and they had invested something like 3 grand on their complete system. The speaker set I had was about 2 grand and this just went together with the reciever perfectly. I haven't run into any issues and everything was easy to understand and figure out. The only thing I despise about the system is the usage of another remote, of course that comes with any system.

I read many reviews of many products before settling on this receiver. I was replacing a 12yr. old JVC. The audio output, features, etc. are as advertised. However, many reviews listed the difficulty of setting the receiver up. Mistakenly, I thought that does not apply to me. WRONG!! It was brutal, not having set something as complex as this up before. Re-arranging Input for the jacks to work, etc. should not be necessary. My biggest complaint is that when you go from Input source to Input source (ex: TV to Tuner), the volume level from the previous one stays the same. My 12 yr. old JVC went to the last volume that that setting had used, not keeping the same one as he one you just left. The problem with this is that different sources require different volume levels, leading to some very loud changes until I can get the Volume down or Muted. This should not be on a quality product such as this.
Yamaha has not responded for 3 days to an inquiry concerning this. Their Tech Support should be better for a new customer.
