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

Excellent sound quality. Easy setup. Complicated audio menus take awhile to master, but once you do you'll be rewarded with amazing sound. Works flawless with my 4k projector and computer. 4 hdmi inputs handles all your audio and video. The auto labeling feature is amazing. I've been using it daily for two years and it performs perfectly. You'll need an external subwoofer amp which is a bit of a let down. I bought one of the small Fosi amps from Amazon that handles the bass flawlessly. Overall, an excellent receiver that will be the centerpiece of your audio and video system. Couldn't be happier. Buy it if you're on the edge of purchasing a new receiver!

I want to compare this to Sony STRDH590, which I owned before this and is of a comparable price. My Sony stopped receiving signal from its remote control within 2 years. There was no way to control many features due to this. The Yamaha has a wide range of buttons on the front if the remote fails. Now that I have this Yamaha and can compare the sound, this is MUCH better than the Sony. The sound is crisp and clear. This Yamaha receiver has a 5ch stereo expansion setting and the Sony did not even have that. This receiver also has a direct setting that turns off all extra parts of the stereo to attempt to get a clearer signal, including the front panel. The Sony has the nicer input ports (the ones that take the banana plugs) only on the left and right channel where this Yamaha has them for all five channels. The subwoofer output from the Yamaha is considerably better than the Sony and produces a cleaner sound. The Yamaha setup is extremely easy and takes just a few minutes with the included microphone. So far I haven't had too much difficulty with voices being quiet in movies. There are several applicable sound options for how to process movie input. The only downsides to this Yamaha are that it only has 4 HDMI inputs and doesn't support eARC. According to the marking ARC is only on the first HDMI input.

I'm really happy with this receiver even though I don't have any speakers hooked up to it. Not using it for a speaker setup might sound like a waste of a product to some people but honestly I'm finding plenty of value in it with it's other features. The main reason I looked into getting a receiver was so I could have multiple hdmi devices hooked up to my monitor. I looked into hdmi hubs but there are a couple reasons why I've chosen a receiver instead. 1. Reliability and ease of use. Ok, so like I said I use a monitor in my room, not a tv. Monitors don't have remotes so anytime I want to change the volume or hdmi input I have to do it manually. It's a 32 inch monitor about 3 feet to the side of my bed and it's a nice arms stretch to do so. Not a big deal and while there are plenty of hdmi hubs that offer remote changing or automatic changing I worry about the reliability of those devices. There are plenty of reviews that state their hubs stop working after some months or the automatic hdmi switching starts changing inputs randomly or getting black screens and such. I just didn't want to hassle with things like that. 2. Bluetooth connectivity. This was another feature that I was looking into. Again, there are separate devices that offer this but just like hdmi hubs you will find plenty of reliability concerns. On top of that there's audio lag and previously when I bought a bluetooth transmitter I had to return it for that reason. Nice thing about this receiver is there is an adjustment for the audio to increase or decrease the audio timing but luckily it isn't an issue and the audio seems to be timed perfectly with my bluetooth headphones. It pairs up quickly too. I haven't tried the 4k upscaling with this receiver because I use a 1440p monitor but it's nice to know that it's there. Maybe in the future I will find a use for it. There's also some neat audio presets for things like movies, music and gaming. It's actually a pretty extensive list. I suppose I should also mention that each hdmi input can be named to your liking for a nice customization feel so when you flip through them you know exactly what's connected to that input. You can even use the hdmi ports when the unit is in standby mode but you won't be able to use the bluetooth connectivity. In the end I think this was a good purchase. It's priced reasonably and I'm getting good use out of it. Sound quality is great and the customizable features are a definite plus. More expensive than getting an hdmi hub and bluetooth transmitter but I think the reliability and extra features make up for this.

My old AV receiver decided I only needed stereo anymore, not the 5.1 I bought it for years ago. I did a fair amount of searching and came across this Yamaha RX-V385 and compared it to multiple other units in the same price range. I chose this one for its capabilities and Yamaha's great historic name. Once received, I set it in place and connected it as I had the previous unit, but was having major problems with the audio for my PS-3 which I use for the Blu-ray. Only after much YouTubing and sorting through ALL the different choices available was I able to gain the desired audio. The manual gave reasonably simple setup instructions, but was totally off base for the specialized input change I needed to make. I'm glad to have that behind me, but my frustration level made this review almost painful to write. I like that the unit is clean and the audio (once I got it set up) is wonderful and clear. I haven't yet tried the Bluetooth, but suspect it will go without issue. I like that it has banana clip inputs for all 5 speakers, more than I see with most other receivers. I feel this gives a cleaner connection and much easier change-out if needed. The choices I'm finding for sound differences is nice, but I suspect I'll settle on one or two for each input and be done with it. As it sits, I think it should give me years of good service. My suggestion to Yamaha as well as other Pacific Rim manufacturers is this. Stop having someone from your country translating your thinking process to the English language. Hire someone who is native speaking English (preferably American since most of your products are sold here), who knows proper syntax and the everyday language used by the vast majority of those trying to use your English owner's manual. You will be far ahead in your thinking, your customer satisfaction and due to that, your sales.

O produto é de excelente qualidade, por já conhecer o mesmo e ter informação por isto que fiz a compra do mesmo.

Home Theater excelente, qualidade do som muito boa.

Bought this amp to replace a 30 year old Panasonic one. Now my Firestick works perfectly with my projector and with the 4 HDMI in ports, no more need for an HDMI splitter box. The automatic audio setup made my speakers sound so much better.

Som de qualidade por um valor relativamente razoável (paguei 3500)
