This was my first venture into a home theater system. I am pleased with the purchase. from Crutchfield.com This receiver provides a competent and functional receiver for my home theater while providing clean and transparent power for my music listening. The straight signal mode allows the source processing to come through clearly and unhindered but if you like Yamaha processing modes this unit has a wide variety to suit most audio tastes. The only con for some people may be the small amount of HDMI inputs (2 in 1 out) and somewhat limited video processing options for lower resolution inputs. from Crutchfield.com This receiver works well enough. One issue though - I had the cable box connected to the receiver via HDMI and then from the receiver to the TV via HDMI. Frequently (maybe 70 to 80% of the time) when changing channels, the TV screen would go black for up to five seconds. from Crutchfield.com I am very impressed by the sound quality of the receiver and the video upconversion to HDMI. Listening to audio from my PC's optical output with the receiver in Pure Direct mode was stunning to say the least. from Crutchfield.com I have had the Rx-V663 for about 14 months. The HDMI went out & I took it to BB for repairs 6 weeks ago. from Amazon.com I'm a regular person, not a tech wizard. I purchased this receiver after checking online and with Consumer Reports, which gave information on the preceding model, for use with a Sony 60" HD TV operating on DirecTV, with 6 speakers and a blu ray. I'm happy with the receiver for many reasons: 1) ease of connections with the other units, 2) great sound, 3) automatic adjustments for sound source from DTV (stereo, 5.1, live, HD; with my old system I had to tell the reciever what the source type was, and it was a real pain when changing channels), 4) the unit doesn't produces much heat, 5) it's smaller than the old unit, 6) automatic detection of live speakers, and 7) relative low cost. The only downside was that the connection directions in the manual weren't very good, but I was able to figure it out without too much difficulty. from Amazon.com Weeks of research pointed at this system. I am completely satisfied with it. Good sound, video, individual equalizers per channel, automatic adjustment using supplied microphone, a direct mode for purer sound, and lots of other features I have not used yet. It has enough inputs for my needs and I can spill over additional inputs to my TV if needed. from Amazon.com SUMMARY: Great Sound, Good video switching, Decodes all HD sound formats, Great DSP features, tremendous value, Pre-Outs upgradable. I was interested in buying an A/V receiver and was undecided between the Onkyo SR606 and the Yamaha RXV663 (aka HTR-6160BL), given what I'd read about them. from Amazon.com This receiver is at the bottom end of Yamaha's mid-range product line and it is a bargain at that. Before I begin let me state that if you are from the "features come before sound quality" school of thought you shouldn't waste any time reading this review. from Amazon.com I bought this receiver to replace a Bose Lifestyle 28 Series III DVD Home Entertainment System which I bought about 7 years ago that stopped working. Along with the receiver I got Mirage Nanosat Prestige 5 Home Theater Speaker System 4 Nanosat Prestige satellites and 1 Nano CC center speakerand Velodyne DEQ-10R 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Black) We have a family room/kitchen combination that's 42 feet long and 24 feet wide with 10 foot ceilings with a lot windows on one side and a open doorways on the other, so the room is an acoustical nightmare. The sofas are about halfway back, but the sound bounces into the kitchen down at the other end. from Amazon.com
