- So far so good!! Watched our first Blu-ray Disc with it last night with our surround sound setup and even my wife, who was skeptical of this whole idea, was impressed. It sounded great and I have not even got into the entire setup. I was going to buy the V371 for 159 then seen this updated version but went ahead and splurged on this. The on screen display seems simple enough but seemed to only work when you where on the HDMI input to the TV. As far as picture and sound though it was excellent. I am not a audiophile but I do appreciate great sound and this unit delivers on that. I can't wait to tweak this unit a bit and see what else it will deliver.
- I decided to buy this over the older RX-V371 because of a few additonal features that make it much more convenient for me to use. The first feature is the front USB port which recognizes iPhones/iPods and mass storage devices which is a huge improvement. Gone are clunky expensive "docks" for your iPhone/iPod. The second feature is the onscreen (TV) display which makes navigation of settings much easier when sitting from a distant viewing position. No more walking up to the receiver to read the little display. The third feature is the YPAO system which uses the included microphone to test your room's acoustics. There's also 4K Pass-Through which means future 4K displays and Blu-ray…
