also the new yamaha doesnt have the AB speaker option so that blows you cant run presence speakers or two front channel speakers if you like to

Yea the 2009 Yamaha receivers are garbage. They reduced the amp and took away all of the features just for a couple extra HDMI inputs that I get with a $40 HDMI switch.

@mpgxsvcd The new 667 is incredible though, basically the 663 back again :D

@FeeLtheHertZ Yea the newest receivers are very nice. I still use my old trusty 663 though. It just does everything I want it to so I never saw the need to upgrade.

hi guys just wondering that reciever is any good or which one is good to buy?

[mpgxsvcd]

I still like the receivers from last year. The Yamaha RX-V663 is still a good receiver but it doesn't have enough HDMI inputs and it doesn't display the HD audio codec on the front(ie: Dolby True-HD, DTS-MA). It displays "Straight" instead.

Pioneer makes a great inexpensive receiver as well. The 1018 was a great one from last year and the S-01 was an outstanding value.

The newest receivers are extremely light weight so their power output may suffer.

Would you recommend a all in one system or getting a receiver and speakers setup?

[MultiMankey]

I have a question. i have the RX V-365.

How you can change the settings over the tv?

monitor out?

I'm having the damnest time finding a Receiver that puts Full range to every channel. I hear that these do the fronts with full range, but I need all five. I'm gonna get Klipsch RF7's & RF82's and I want to get what the speaker is worth.

I hate you because of this system...jk

[nom014]

what your all system ?

[Danklin24]

Dont buy a new Yamaha receiver...ever. The best recent ones are the '59-63 series. The 65 series blows. Yamaha took away so many features its ridiculous.
