"ideal receiver for "champagne tastes on a beer budget"" on by johnnyyama
Pros: great sound from a receiver with more than enough features to choose from, for watching SD or HD movies/TV, or listening to music CD's
Cons: the receiver is not "plug & play" and requires some time & patience for setup - perhaps a university degree to understand the manual which seems to have been extracted from a PhD thesis in electronics
Summary: This review loses one star for the manual. ( But in fairness, how does one describe in simple terms the features of such a complex machine?) Our receiver is the heart of a home theatre system which includes a 50" Panasonic plasma TV and a 5:1 channel Bose speaker array. Even with only 5 speakers the sound from the system is so good. Whether it's watching a movie or listening to a CD, the sound is clear - every word can be understood and the sounds from every instrument discerned.

"Very clean sound. Excellent channel separation. Many input options including 3 HDMI connections." on by thayes8334
Pros: Auto-detects input connections. Auto-setup for speakers works very well (if connections are correct).
Cons: Challenging manual. Difficult to understand speaker connection options. Error code in auto-speaker setup not explained in manual.
Summary: Replaced a Denon AVR-2000 with Yamaha HTR 6080 and would not go back. Am using Logitech Harmony 720 remote and it interfaces very well with the Yamaha. Plenty of inputs -- enough for turntable, tape deck, cd player, DVD player, DVD/VCR combo, and satellite receiver/DVR. Very good value for the money.

"Japanese torture at its most refined." on by orthotox
Pros: Great sound...
Cons: ... if and when you finally find it!
Summary: Don't count on playing movies or cd's the first night home with this monster. First it's everybody back to school, and taking a few hours (or days) learning all the zen-like details of choosing a "template" and making a "scene." Just let me near the over-teched moron who thought this garbage up and I'll be making a scene OK! Unbelievable!
