Customer Review

Best Customer Review : The Yamaha RXV 363 5.1 dolby digital, Pro Logic II Audio Receiver,
is the low-end product offering in Yamaha's lineup, but carries
forth outstanting quality, that is on-par with their brand name,
and marketplace reputation.

For those reading this, and getting no sound from their 5.1
speakers, there are 2 aspects to look at. First, on the unit
itself, press the Speakers AB OFF button (which mutes otherwise the
FL and FR). Next, also on the unit, press "Straight Effect" in
order to remove the unit from a mode that basically mutes all 5.1
speakers except the center speaker, to configure it for 5.1. The
unit itself also requires a 6 or 8 Ohm selection in terms of
speakers wired to it.

That said, I have this unit comprising a home theatre with a YAMAHA
NS-SP1800BL 5.1 speaker set (also, its low-end speaker set coupled
with 2 pairs of solder-type banana plugs, 100 FT of 14 AWG Gauge
speaker wire, 2 pairs of component cables, an additional 12 FT
subwoofer coaxial digital wire, to add to the kit-included coaxial
wire that Yamaha provides, usable between the unit and a digital TV
receiver or DVD player.

The unit has no trouble in detecting Pro Logic II or DD streams,
but does take a novice at least a good 20 minutes configuring all
aspects of the home theatre, such as size of speakers, length of
the speaker wire between each and every speaker and the receiver
itself, the crossover frequency at which point the subwoofer takes
over, and other aspects.

The FL and FR require banana plugs, for the reason that the "B"
setting in the unit,is for an alternative pair of front speakers
that a rare user may also have on hand.

The unit goes thru 240 watts of AC Power when turned on, at minimum
suggesting that perhaps regular non-digital audio might be
appropriate in most TV viewing scenarios, leaving the unit on
standby, for example, for consumption and cost control purposes.

The instructions are fine, and the interface of the remote control
is extremely intuitive, after a few minutes of experimentation, but
the user manuals for the 5.1 speakers and this receiver are a MUST
before anything is carried out by the installer.

The HDMI were declined in my setup, in favor of component cables
that are fine, but as video passthru from DVD or digital TV or
output to the TV.

Conversely, weakness, is a single AC-3 port ("coaxial") in the
back, for those wanting to seamless interchange with their remote
between digital TV and a DVD player, both lacking optical outputs,
in my particular case. As said, only 1 AC3 input is present.

Another weakness is the lack of s-video input and output
(passthru), requiring thus a s-video source to be directly wired
into the TV, without this unit in the middle, if the digital TV box
lacks component or HDMI outputs.

With a Blue Ray DVD player, the issue of seamless changeover will
be solved, from an optical output.

In sum, Yamaha definitely offers something for the bargain-minded
end user, both in speakers and in receivers, while maintaining
quality from start to finish, allowing for a great home theatre
experience.


Customer Review 1 : Very good receiver for the price - Shawn McCrimmon - Illinois, USA
I have this received hooked up to my Klipsch Synergy III surround sound speakers. However, I do not currently own a sub and cannot review how this receiver works with one. My inputs are the surround sound ouput from my computer, and my Cowon S9

Pros:
This receiver was inexpensive.
The speaker were easy to hook up.
The inputs are labeled nicely and it is easy to guess what they do.
It sounds very good for the price.
5.1 channel Music Enhanced works well.

Cons:

It's only 5.1 channels. (if you never want to go 7.1, then this is not a problem)
The eqs don't work in multi channel input mode.
You have to use the remote to change certain settings (like initial setup)
No HDMI audio (this would have been so much easier)
The top get pretty warm. (This is probably true of many recievers.


In my opinion, the pros outweigh the cons. Movies sound fantastic, however, music seems to be lacking the low end (but this is because my speaks only go down to 120hz). The enhancer works well, and it is easy to set up.
