- Truly versatile and great sounding receiver
I bought this for hubby as his Christmas present. Hubby says:

Setup
This is a very versatile component and with versatility comes complexity. A read of the manual is mandatory. I would suggest that anyone with limited experience use the "AUTO SETUP" feature, though I did not (you can always change anything you don't like later). The inclusion of a microphone and automated level balancing and equalization capability should be a real plus for those not possessing appropriate equipment for properly setting up an audio system.

While the "AUTO SETUP" feature looked fairly easy, it makes some assumptions about user preferences as does the default setup. As a result I chose to use "MANUAL SETUP". If you choose this option, be prepared to spend a couple of days ... Read More

- Premium Amp
Very satisfied with sound quality and easy setup. This unit replaced a 2003 version of the Yamaha amp and the sound quality is significantly improved. You sometimes wonder if you need to upgrade these amps, but apparently so as we are very happy with the improvements in this unit. Haven't needed the 1080I upconversion, but it is a nice item to have if we ever do. HDMI all around makes cabling very easy. The use of a sensor mic in the center of the room to set up the speaker balance worked very well. Would highly recommend this unit, although you might get by with the 5.1 version just as well if thats all you need.

- This Is The Best Receiver I ever Bought.
I had A sony receiver 545 before, and i got it back in 1999 and had it for 8 1/2 years, it did me justed. But when i got this receiver oh man what a diffents the sound is clear and i use small polk audio speakers and the rock i watch alot of movies and they sound better the a movie theater I rents movies just because they sound sound so awsome in my house. If your looking for a great recevier this is it. I got mine on ebay back in june 2008 I paid $375.00 with free shiping that a great price scice i saw it at circuit city for $499.00. So check out ebay first and read all the fine print first. Mine was Brand New IN the Box.But some are refurb. just read the fine print real good. C-ya!!

- A solid unit and good value.
Santa brought me one of these to replace a pre-HDMI Sony that the display had failed on. I'm nowhere near really delving into the features of the Yamaha or cranking it up, but so far this seems like a great, versatile unit. I have the V663 running a 5.1 Sony speaker system and 50" plasma at 1080p, fed by a Panasonic Blu-Ray and Apple TV, all on HDMI. It has handled any audio format I've thrown at it, including the Blu-Ray-specific lossless formats.

I really like the YPAO automatic speaker setup. It seems to be fool-proof, although the sound of the "natural EQ" setting seems a little too warm and organic for me. I will probably try the "flat" EQ setting eventually. Luckily the whole YPAO process takes just a few minutes.

EDIT: I did try the "flat" EQ setting and ... Read More

- Would recommend
This has been a great receiver so far and I would easily recommend it to others.

If you hate watching a movie only to be blasted by loud commercials (they are engineered this way by the commercial producers themselves), this receiver can help.

Here's how you set it up:
1) In the Setup "Volume Menu," set "Adaptive DRC" to "On"
2) In the "Sound Menu," select "Dynamic Range" then set "Speaker" to "MIN/AUTO"

The output of those annoying commercials you rush to mute will be greatly reduced.
