It sounds amazing. I'm also using it with a martin logan 5.1 MLT setup, a sony blue ray player and a 52" sharp aquos. I've read a lot of good things about the yamaha tuners so when I saw this at costco for a great price I didn't hesitate. Hooking it up was a breeze. HDMI makes is so easy. I used monster wire for my speakers and they sound amazing. The preset movie selections are cool. I like the Scifi setting the best. Standard is good too. I was able to tune the system using the enclosed mic. My first two times showed a phase warning. Checking my cables, indeed i had hooked up one of the rear speakers backwards. The manual seems comprehensive. I watched WALL-E and the tuner blew me away. I do get a warning message about incompatible sound output going to my tv, i need to disable the output hdmi for sound i guess (who needs crappy tv speaker sound?) Some of the downsides. Size, It sits up on four big legs, which makes the unit tall. I had to raise my wall mounted tv to accommodate this thing on my furniture. I thought about removing them, but I'm worried about cooling. The remote is kinda lame too. It doesn't light up and there are a million buttons. I find myself searching. Oh well I'll probably get a nice big universal remote anyway. Customer Review 1 : So much for the money - MovieMaven - Like another reviewer, I'm also puzzled by all of the problems the first reviewer he says he had. I bought the Yamaha HTR-6240 because I think it does more than anything else on the market for such a great price! For right around 0 who else gives you everything you need to power and control a 5.1 system? I also ended up calling Yamaha in California for a little bit of help setting up my system, which consisted of a flat panel, blu-ray, cable box and speakers. The guy on the other end of the phone was really great and answered all my questions. I was curious about this model number and asked him why we don't hear about the HTR models and usually only see the RX-V models. He told me the HTR-6240 is "identical" to the RX-V465, just used in a different group of dealers. Anybody interested should read those reviews too. Anyway, everything worked perfectly first time through and no problems since then. The auto speaker set-up is pretty amazing and did a great job getting the most out of my speakers in my room. The sound quality on movies and music is really good and the picture quality on blu-ray discs is mind-blowing. All things considered, if this doesn't qualify for 5 stars, I don't' know what would!
