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

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)

Like this one, cost a bit more but beat out the one I purchased that lets just say was not good. I replaced my 7 channel with this one mainly because of cost. It was easy to setup, looks great, and features great audio and video quality., The remote came with batteries and was ready to use. I have not used the Bluetooth yet, but plan to in the future for wireless connectivity. The screen is bright and easy to see so that works great too.

Easy to install and works as I expect with one exception. When I turn off the television to have only sound from the receiver, the sound stops for about 10 seconds, every five minutes for almost an hour! I’ve looked up this kind of activity and can’t find a reason anywhere. Otherwise, I would give it five stars.

70 YEARS! Best ever , not only for the money, but it actually maintains quality when you ,um, accidentally turn up to listen to favorite tunes. I am so very happy I didn't get to, once again, going to All the high dollar (trash) items.Just take it from a guy who almost Never writes these reviews. Well, Yamaha deserves accolades of praise. 70 years old and finally a going home present.

love this unit. now bought 3 of them.

I bought this to replace a defective, Bose Life Style 48 - 5.1 system.The YAMAHA RX-V385 5.1-Channel 4K Ultra HD AV Receiver with Bluetooth, Works with: 6 Ohm Bose Speakers.The System Sounds Awesome.

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.
