Awesome for the price December 30, 2008
Hammy Technoid (Anchorage, AK)
I ordered this unit as a replacement for an earlier model Yamaha 5.1 reciever, mainly to gain the HDMI outputs. The unit arrived in a timely manner, between a week and 9 days. I had just purchased a 50 inch plasma screen and wanted to take advantage of the HDMI inputs. I soon came to find out that this reciever only performs thru-put and doesn't convert signals. What I mean is that if you have a DVD player that only has component outputs (red green blue) they will not be converted to HDMI and therefore will not be available at the HDMI output on the reciever. Also, the reciever claims to have on screen menu for setting up the 5.1 sound, which I found to be quite an appealing feature, as my experience with my previous Yamaha reciever was always a pain to make any meaningful sound adjustments. The thing is, you only have access to the on-screen menu from the component output. So, it's my choice to view everything in component and skip the HDMI. I did try the HDMI features. That's how I learned that the on-screen audio setups weren't available. The video performance comparison between the HDMI and the component performance on my particular screen made the choice easy. The component picture was as good as the digital. Now perhaps if I had BlueRay I'd say otherwise, but for my setup, I'm very pleased with the reciever's performance and I feel it was worth every penny of its price. Knowing what I know now, I would still make the purchase. The speaker output connectors are upgrade from the earlier model's. This unit has banana jacks as output connections for all 5 speakers. The subwoofer output is a lone RCA jack and requires a powered subwoofer. There are inputs available for 2 HDMI devices and a single HDMI output. Only HDMI devices can be seen from this output. There are 3 sets of component inputs, 2 with TosLink optical audio inputs and the 3rd with the coaxial digital RCA input. The coaxial digital signal should be treated as a video signal when connecting, the use of high grade video cable giving the optimum quality signal transference.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and the units performance. I withheld a 5 star rating due to the inability to view component inputs from the HDMI output. There must be units out there that perform the conversion, and I'm sure they reflect that capability in their price. Until I'm in the market for one of those, I'll be very happy with my Yamaha. Oh, did I mention that it plays magnificently loud? Indeed.

So Far So Good December 21, 2008

This unit is a changeover from a similarly equipped SONY. So far, the Yamaha RX-V463BL has performed excellently with my surround theater speakers.

Like others who bought this receiver I read the reviews and made my decision based on them and budget. I'm very happy with the purchase. I'm more than satisfied with the quality, power, and easy setup. Optimizer microphone makes auto setup a breeze. Bought this along with The Klipsch Quintet II and KSW- 12 Subwoofer. Has more than enough power to make the system pop. For $300.00 you are getting a great piece of equipment.

Good product -- Terrible Owner's Manual November 29, 2008

The Yahama RX-V463 is a very solid receiver with ample power and plenty of both imput and outputs - from RCA to HDMIs. Overall, it's a nice piece of electronic hardware! The impossible thing about using this receiver is reading and understanding its instruction manual. Yahama needs to hire someone who speaks and writes English in a clear concise manner to redo the entire 100 page booklet! There are far too many unorganized, yet highly needed tidbits of information, hidden in out of way places inside its covers. The RX-V463 is a great reciever with a very lousy manual - thus its rating of two stars. If you can't set and adjust it - it's not a very usable product!
