The RX-V365 is Yamaha's cheapest multichannel receiver for 2009 and for an entry-level amp, the 'V365 kicks out a loud, powerful sound.
Pros:
Yamaha's automatic speaker calibration system
Sound effects are done very well through surround sound
Extreamly clear channels, no distortion detected
Three component video inputs
iPod or MP3 player front panel mounted mini jack and compressed music enhancer
8 DSP settings
Cons:
No HD audio decoding
No audio over HDMI
Excellent product for the money. Yamaha produces fine audio products (and some pretty nice motorcycles too). |
Xlnt THX Sound for what it's worth

Pros: Yamaha. Well made, works out of the box, xlnt THX audio, xlnt separation, xlnt surround.
Cons: Setup sucks. The owners manual sucks as its hard to follow. Heck, I have reviewed and proofed hundreds of technical manuals over my career and this one really sucks. You get to step 6 out of 10 and the setting does not exist! Lots of fumbling around with hits & misses. Well step 6 in the last chapter is now step 3 two chapters following. By saying the rcvr is over engineered is stating it mildly. Everything is software adjusted. eg; to adjust my rear speaker volume levels, I have to wade through a gazillion steps in order to get there. And, if I miss a step I start over. Am I on the phone calling a company going through their phone tree nightmare??? Heck, you cannot make any adjustments on the fly, not even setting FM presets. This is a set it and forget it receiver!
Has two THX inputs; one is DTV/CBL, the other CD. Huh? THX for CD and not DVD? Duh! So when I watch Blu-Ray THX DVD's, I push the CD button on the remote. How stupid is this?
Would I buy Yamaha again? Not if their products are engineered like this. Don't get me wrong, if you are the "set it and forget it" type you will be most happy with this receiver. Others, like me, who continually adjust to suite the input mode will hate it. |
Best entry level A/V receiver for the price, period.

To make this review short - this is exactly the same receiver as the last year's Yamaha RX-V363BL. With some added convenience features and slightly changed front panel design.
Yamaha also make it under the name Yamaha HTR-6230BL (that is the replacement for last year's Yamaha HTR-6130BL).
These are excellent A/V receivers and great value for the price. |
Excellent receiver!

| It's a very good receiver versus the price you pay for it. Sound is clear and powerful. Good level for treble and bass. Little complicated to use the remote but I like you can control CD, DVD, TV, etc. Great performance if use the digital audio (optical and coaxial). It is an excellent investment for home entertainment. |
Great Sounding Receiver!!

| i got this Receiver as a gift, and i think it sounds Fantastic. it was replacing an old stereo i had acting as a surround sound. i have it hooked up to the old sony speakers i have, and it works great. Crystal Clear audio. i think it sounds better than my 6.1 sony receiver upstairs! i haven't played around with it long enough yet to get through all the features. but i had to let everyone know that the sound is Great for this Price range receiver. i have my cable box and Xbox hooked up to it through Digital Optical for true surround on Both. My cable box and xbox never sounded so good. i know the HDMI does not pass through Audio, but who cares? Great Receiver for the Price! |
