Summary: NATURAL CLEAN SOUND
Review: FOR YEARS I HAVE HAD MY EYE ON YAMAHA RECIEVERS, WHY BECAUSE IN THE 70,S, I WAS INFORMED THAT YAMAHA ENGINEERS ACTUALLY WENT TO SEVERAL LOCATIONS, AND TOOK SOUND READINGS FROM CONCERT HALLS, JAZZ CLUBS, CHURCHES,DISCO CLUBS, ETC, AND THEN TRANSFERED THIS INFO ONTO COMPUTER CHIPS, AND INSTALLED IT IN THEIR RECIEVERS. JUST RECENTLY I PURCHASED THE RX-V995, I AM USING IT WITH 2-MAIN JBL,S, POLK AUDIO CENTER AND REAR SURROUNDS RT-35, AND VELODYNE SUBWOOFER 12". AND MAN LET ME TELL YOU THAT SOUND IS SO REAL, SO CLEAN AND NATURAL IT PUTS YOU RIGHT THERE. IT HAS SEVERAL MOVIE CHANNEL SETTINGS, EVEN ONE FOR OLD CLASSICS, AND THE SURROUND SOUND, HEY ITS AWSOME.AT THIS TIME I AM STILL REVIEWING THE 60 SOME PAGE MANUAL THAT CAME WITH IT, THERE ARE MANY FEATURES THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN LEARNED TO USE YET, BUT THE UNIT IS SO FLEXIBLE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD YOUR OTHER REMOTE CONTROLS INTO IT,AND USE JUST THE ONE. YOU CAN ALSO ADJUST YOUR SPEAKER LEVELS TO ACCOMODATE YOUR PLAY BACK MODE, YOUR IN FOR A REAL TREAT WHEN YOU PUT ON A CLASSICAL CD AND USE THE CONCERT HALL SETTING. THERE ARE MANY AUDIO RECEIVERS ON THE MARKET, BUT IF YOU WANT THAT NATURAL CLEAR SOUND THEN I ADVISE YOU TO CONSIDER ONE OF THE YAMAHA NATURAL SOUND RECEIVERS, YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED, YOUR SOUND WILL BE AS REFRESHING AS GLASS OF COOL SRING WATER ON A HOT, MUGGY, SWEATY DAY.

Summary: Now it's my favorite!
Review: Replaced a Denon 3200 with the Yamaha, and immediately noticed a substantial difference in bass output and channel seperation. It also blows the Denon away with DTS and DD listening options. I have an Onkyo, 2 Denon's, and the Yamaha (OK, I'm a Home Theater Junkie! ), and the Yamaha is now my favorite, and it wasn't the most expensive! My wife says that music sounds much better with the Yamaha than with the Denon it replaced. Definitely a 5-star receiver.

Summary: Yamaha RX-V995 Is Super
Review: This is such a feature-ladened high quality Dolby Digital Receiver that is blows the others away! My last receiver was a Denon, but I will tell you that this is heads and tales above the Denon. This Yamaha receiver is able to accurately reproduce the Dolby 5.1 format in all of its glory fully enabling the expressive power of Dolby Digital!
