Best Yamaha Home Theater Systems for 7.1

thankfully, a guy at work had a yamaha receiver and told me about the little secret and i was able to set it up.

while reviewing the receiver options available within my budget, i noted the inclusion of audio in the hdmi connection (new for 2009), and, familiar with yamaha's reputation for quality, i chose to

for those wondering if the yamaha rx-v465 passes audio to your surround speakers through the hdmi jacks, wonder no more because it does.

i wish that i had just given it a little more thought, then i could have purchased the yamaha rx-v663 (for an extra $30).

this is my first yamaha so i was not familiar with pure direct which i use when watching movies in any dolby format.

to have all of the features this receiver offers, you generally have to go up to the high end receivers like the denon's or the pioneers, or even the really high end yamaha's.

one model number is the yamaha rx-v565bl 630 watt 7-channel home theater receiver, the other is the yamaha htr-6250bl 630 watt 7-channel home theater receiver, which i purchased.

a little discouraged by some other reviews on the net of a few complaints of the fact that it weighs less then the previous model (yamaha 663)and that the wattage has been lowered from 665 to 630.
