 RX-V2700 June 10, 2008
I looked and researched many A/V receivers before deciding on this one. I am very pleased with the sound, ease of use, and many, many features. This unit is well worth the price paid, I would recommend to anyone looking for a powerhouse A/V controller. I have mine connected to a 50" plasma TV and a Yamaha upconverting DVD player. The speakers I chose for my system are two Cerwin-Vega CLS-215 for the front channel, a Klipsch center channel, and two JBL towers for the rear channel. I am currently only running a 5.0 system, but this unit will handle much, much more. I haven't the need for more at this point, as the Cerwin-Vega speakers I use have two 15" woofers in each cabinet. This arrangement has more bass than any subwoofer would produce in my opinion. All in all, a very powerful unit with loads of features. I have been running it very hard for about two weeks without any troubles at all.

I'm researching so I don't own. It's my understanding 1.3 is quite a difference in quality for 1080p Televisions. Probably not as noticeable on 1080i
Nearly perfect May 30, 2008

I have owned Yamaha receivers for 20 years, and this is my fourth. Every time, I look at competitors' products, but I always come back to Yamaha for the sound quality and versatility.
As with all of my previous Yamahas, this receiver is almost perfect, with just a few minor issues.
Sound quality is outstanding, with crisp highs and clear lows (I have Klipsch floor speakers and rear and center channel, no subwoofer). Bass is slightly weak (as I have found on other Yamahas), but not terribly so.
Connectivity is also outstanding, with a multitude of connections, including HDMI, digital audio (optical and RCA) and composite and RGB inputs. The 1080 uplift on the video output (to a 52" Samsung LCD) is excellent, and regular DVDs look clear and crisp.
One of the primary reasons I chose this receiver was for its ability to connect (via Ethernet) to my home PC network. I have my entire CD collection on my PC, and I can play any of this through the built-in interface on the receiver. I can also listen to hundreds of channels of internet radio.
This connectivity, though, is the source of a few of my issues with the receiver. It took a little work (and manual entry of an IP address) to get it working. Those without PC technical experience might have trouble getting it working.
In addition, the user interface for the PC and internet connectivity is very rudimentary, and it can be difficult to get to the music you want (no page down feature, for example). I would love to see more effort put into this interface, because with a little work it could be really useful.
My last issue is with the remotes (also a perennial Yamaha problem). It is somewhat cryptic and counterintuitive, and it doesn't have some of the advanced features of some of the newer multifunction remotes. The receiver also includes a remote for "Zone 2", but because it is IR instead of RF, it doesn't do you any good if Zone 2 is in a different room.
That said, I would definitely recommend that this receiver be at the top of your shopping list if you're looking for a good-sounding, versatile and cost-effective AV receiver. I'd buy it again in a second.

Very Nice AV Receiver April 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was the first AV receiver that I purchased in over 20 years.
Lots of bells and whistles; some I have already played with (network radio, USB connection, HDMI upconversion) and some that I am still waiting to try (PC music, multi-zone multi-input).
No problems so far just have a lot to time to peruse the owners manual and discover all of the features.
