- Got this receiver when I got the Panasonic Blu-ray player. Easy setup, many soundfields, a few changes from the RXV-659. I really wanted this unit for its analog audio inputs, and ability to perform lossless PCM and the upgraded Dolby and DTS audio from Blu-rays.Sources: Panasonic DMP-BD80 BD player and Verizon FioS. Goes to a 5.1 setup - two BIC America fronts with a KLH center channel speaker and a Yamaha sub. Energy CB-5 bookshelf speakers for surrounds inside a 20' x 30'x 8' (height) room. used 12 gauge speaker wire from Lowe's.Only gripe: relatively expensive, although I got mine (new in box!) from a clearance sale.I've always enjoyed listening to music on Yamaha receivers - lots of classical…
- Go see my review of the Yamaha HTR-6180BL A/V receiver. Trust me, it is the SAME as this one, and much cheaper!
