Buying Yamaha HTR-5750SL 6.1 Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver (Silver)


I read many reviews of many products before settling on this receiver. I was replacing a 12yr. old JVC. The audio output, features, etc. are as advertised. However, many reviews listed the difficulty of setting the receiver up. Mistakenly, I thought that does not apply to me. WRONG!! It was brutal, not having set something as complex as this up before. Re-arranging Input for the jacks to work, etc. should not be necessary. My biggest complaint is that when you go from Input source to Input source (ex: TV to Tuner), the volume level from the previous one stays the same. My 12 yr. old JVC went to the last volume that that setting had used, not keeping the same one as he one you just left. The problem with this is that different sources require different volume levels, leading to some very loud changes until I can get the Volume down or Muted. This should not be on a quality product such as this.
Yamaha has not responded for 3 days to an inquiry concerning this. Their Tech Support should be better for a new customer.Get more detail about Yamaha HTR-5750SL 6.1 Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver (Silver).
