This 5.1 channel receiver boasts a painless setup process. Also, for calibration, it uses Yamaha's tried and tested YPAO calibration system. You can plug in the included calibration microphone and the receiver sends out a series of test zones, which it uses to calibrate your system. In a few minutes, your new AV receiver is pretty much ready to roll.

It has impressive sound quality and packs a punch with your home theater system. Movies as diverse as Jurassic Park and Godzilla storm their way into your living room with this AV receiver. Also, it works well with music too, providing both depth and detail.
