Keep Away from YAMAHA...

Pros: None...
Cons: Ships faulty units and voids warrantees .... Not worth the hassle...
The Bottom Line:
Unit died within 30 Minutes. Yamaha told me to stuff it...
I bought this unit about 6 weeks ago. I swapped out my Harmon Kardon AVR-525 for this useless piece of junk from a bottom rank company. It ran for about 30 minutes, flashed something on the screen beginning with "SP" then shut off. I could not get it to turn on again.
Well, there is no reset. The manual advises you to unplug the unit and set it aside for a week or more to reset it. OK I did. Still nothing, I hear a relay click a few times but that is it. Well that is the dumbest thing I have ever been asked to do, the second dumbest is admitting that I did it.
Still nothing, so I called Yamaha to authorize the service repair. What I received was basically a "Screw You" from the Yamaha technical hot line. The Yamaha technician ask where I bought the unit, I said matter of factly, "the internet." He immediately said "Your warrantee is now void go read the fine print, send it back the internet, call who ever you bought it from for service, and don’t call us." He continued "You did not buy it from an authorized dealer or Yamaha so we won't help you." He then continued to tell me "Yamaha did not get a cent for that unit so we won't fix it." I was amazed and shocked. I told the technician that I would tell the world, so I am. Don't buy any Yamaha products, if you need service they rape you.
Gee I didn't even to get to tell him who the dealer was and I was told to eat dirt. What, Yamaha? Na Na Yamaha... I don't eat dirt... But I believe the parent Yamaha should be barred from American markets 1) for selling junk and 2) for theft! So every warrantee is void if we buy it on the internet, cute Yamaha. And I was considered the RX-Z9, wow would I have been surprised when the technician told me to go fly a kite when that came DOA....
My Harmon is working. It is just a pain to configure it every time the power goes out and I ran out of digital inputs. The Yamaha had NVR and more ports and it up converted the video for my HDTV. Well Yamaha I guess you got me good... Now leave... It is about time Americas took out the trash…
