Yamaha RX-V575 7.2-Channel Network AV Receiver with Airplay (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I bought this receiver to replace a 4 year old Pioneer 7.1 receiver that lost all of its audio channels suddenly and simultaneously. I've only had the Yamaha for about a month, but, hopefully, it'll give me better service than did the Pioneer. The 575 is an outdated model now, having been supplanted by the 577, but I didn't need or want built in wireless WiFi, and I certainly didn't want to pay an additional $170 for a receiver that otherwise had nearly identical specs. I was glad to find that Amazon still had the 575 in stock at a good price.The Yamaha receiver doesn't look as snazzy as the Pioneer, but I liked it just the same. All of my input device connections (Blu Ray player, DVD recorder, TV, attic mounted AM/FM antennas and LAN ethernet) transferred directly to the back of the 575.I'm not interested in using Bluetooth or my phone with this rig, so wireless capability for playback and control is a moot point with me. The receiver is hardwired to my Asus router, as is my Blu Ray player and TV. The receiver immediately found my router and configured itself before I could even call up the page to look at the settings. Internet radio is easy to use and works like a dream. There are tons of stations available in many genres, depending upon your tastes. Right now, I'm listening to some peaceful Celtic tunes.Automatic speaker setup using the YPAO routine is also fast and easy. After running the setup routine, I find that the sound from my surround speakers is more noticeable and full than it was with the Pioneer, and the sub seems to have found some new energy, as well. The menu offers me the capability of going in and making changes to my speaker and sound settings (such as EQ), but I doubt that I'll need to fiddle with them. Overall, I am entirely pleased with the quality of sound from this receiver.While there are many features available from this unit, the vast majority of people will use only a few of them. I've found that the ones that I've needed are simple to use and setup, and provide a good level of adjustment and choices for sound quality. I've found that the "Enhancer" feature for use with MP3's and other compressed soundstreams (such as streaming movies from Netflix or Vudu) works very well. I also like that maximum volume levels can be set via a menu. This might come in handy for someone who lives in an apartment. The menu item for lip sync adjustments can also easily be found, which was not the case with my Pioneer.My TV is connected to the receiver via an optical Toslink cable to the receiver's AV4 input, which I have relabeled "TV". The receiver selects AV4 as its default input for sound from a TV, so all I had to do was rename that input. The hot button labeled "TV" on the remote pulls that input up with 1 touch, and audio is there. The same thing is true for Blu Ray (BD), internet radio (Net) and the radio tuner.Speaking of remotes, I can understand how the remote might seem a bit complicated and over populated for many people. Personally, I like it. Believe it or not, it's a huge step up from my Pioneer remote, which was almost insane for the the amount of tiny buttons and cryptic, nearly invisible labels that it had on it. I won't miss that. I'm not a fan of trying to make 1 remote do everything with everything, so I prefer to use the remote that came with the machine. I keep them all in a drawer, out of sight in the center section of my loveseat.Even though I've had the RX-V575 for a short while, I'm liking what I see. If it lasts, I think I'll be happy with it for quite some time.

I wanted to add more power to my media room I had an Old Sony receiver that saw better days. I wanted the new technology and being able to control my receiver with My phone I also want the two zones to listen music in the patio as well as my main living room. My house has already a patio wired speaker system.With those needs I searched for a receiver that won't break the bank. the reviews on this Yamaha were good and the price seemed to be right. Airplay was a must have. Very excited I bought the receiver and I got it in one day...I hooked up everything following the instructions and for some reason I could not get the Airplay thing to work.Also the Yamaha AV app which help you to control the receiver from your Iphone could not find the receiver either. I could not connect to Pandora or the internet radio. Undaunted I read the instructions and even call customer service at Yamaha.The technician had the patience to go with me through a series of tests. This receiver while great it is not wireless you need to hook up the receiver to a router through a cable which is not a biggie for me because I have the router very close to the receiver and all my equipment.The technician reached the conclusion that the equipment had some kind of failure and advised me to call amazon customer service and let them know. When I tried to updated the firmware I got the message "Device Error". I called amazon and explain what happened. The amazing Amazon customer service arranged that I get a replacement receiver with in a day!!!! Amazingly I hooked up the new one and Boilah!!! it worked!!! the sound is amazing, the set up with the microphone is a breeze and the bass ...the bass is just Deep.The remote control as many have expressed has little tiny buttons. You are better off downloading the AV app and controlling the thing with your Ipad or Iphone (i don't have a droid phone so not so sure if that works as well). Now I can listen to my favorite Pandora stations or internet radio etc. The Yamaha AV app found the device almost immediately.Unless you get a equipment with some issues this receiver is a 5 stars, no doubt. I have a great set of speakers I bet this help with the sound I have a Monitor Audio R90HT1 that are a bit pricey but I did not want to compromise the sound.I highly recommend this receiver because the excellent sound and easy set up. A note of caution. The zone "B" (for Patio etc) can only play the same music as your main living room. Receivers that handle two Zones with two different sources are WAY too expensive. You can control though the "B" volume independently (more or less volume than your main 5.2) but that's it. It was not a really big deal for me I just wanted to be able to play music in patio does not matter if it sound came form a different source than the main living room.Being aware of those two limitations (not wireless and Zone "B' not independent of the main 5.2) if you can live with that then you will be a happy camper if not try some other options but be ready to spend much more.

It should have an A/B switch on the receiver. The app is iffy. I can't get internet radio to work most of the time and getting favorite internet stations set in the app involves a very convoluted process. The sound and power are fine and it has a nice assortment of ports. The buttons are in good places, but the smaller things in the display are hard to read. The computer sometimes has trouble connecting to it with Airport, and I have to close iTunes and reopen it. I also had a problem with my iPad staying connected once. Not necessarily the receiver's fault, but who knows?It has weird volume levels, it goes into the minuses and high double digits. Inputs seem to be very different levels. I should read the manual and figure out how to make them even, but I didn't have to do that with the old receiver and the volume level on it were 1 through 10.

Amazing deal and really pumps the volume to my jbl speakers and Polk sub
