    seems to allow me to choose delivery at $6.95.
    don't forget $5 newsletter signup discount code, makes it 199.95 delivered, 193 pickup.

      Is this a truly excellent deal?
      I got no idea when it comes to AVR's & Separates.

        Yes, if you're after a decent yet purposely cut-back, entry-level Receiver it's pretty good and should last at least a few years.

    Pretty impressed with this unit for $200. And it was delivered Easter Monday (which was technically less than next-business-day since I'd bought it on Thursday, so big points to HN and Auspost for that).

  • igerstep on 17/04/2015 - 12:40

    Worth noting this is in fact a 6 channel amplifier; it has a 6th powered channel for a passive subwoofer, as well as subwoofer pre-out. Not something you typically see on a AVR.

    • ItsMeAgro on 17/04/2015 - 12:43

      Can you use both at once though? I haven't tried it, but I thought it would be one or the other…

      • igerstep on 17/04/2015 - 12:57

        I'm not sure myself, but if you had a powered subwoofer with low level input, you wouldn't be using the AVR powered channel to run it anyway.

      Thanks for the note Jewish. Good to know about the passive sub option… if one needs it.

    I got this the last time it was on special. A good unit, but for some reason listening to music I cant seem to get the sound to my liking. Also worth noting that there is no equalizer to fine tune the output, It only has presets.

    • zealmax on 17/04/2015 - 14:02

      Music is great(subjective). What speakers do you have? I am using my ceiling speakers and they sound good. I set the unit to 5ch Stereo by pressing the music button few times and turn on enhancer.

    • igerstep on 17/04/2015 - 14:18

      There is a custom equiliser function for several frequencies with varying gain, takes a bit of navigating through the front UI to get to it… a lot easier if viewing the UI on a secreen via video output.

      • Saiya on 17/04/2015 - 14:50

        Interesting, I will have a looksee when I get home.

    • ItsMeAgro on 17/04/2015 - 14:37

      Hmm. I thought I saw a detailed equaliser option in the setup menu, but I might be wrong (try looking at the manual on Yamaha's website?)

    • uetecu on 18/04/2015 - 07:31

      The music quality paired with decent bookshelf speakers and a sub with Airplay has superb audio quality. Highly recommended.

      For movies I'm finding it a little underpowered even if you increase the power delivery but it still delivers a decent movie experience.

  • zealmax on 17/04/2015 - 14:11

    For the budget conscious(everyone) who is looking for some excellent speakers at budget prices. I can recommend BASS ACOUSTIC 5.1 BA-800 speakers. It is pretty much an unknown brand but from googling, it looks like harvey norman distributed them before. Everything that I read(5) said they sounded good.

    I needed the active subwoofer and found the speakers including an old pioneer avr on gumtree. Picked the whole thing up for $40. The speakers do indeed sound good, the sub is excellent. Looks like the speakers go for under $100.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/04/2015 - 14:45

      Anywhere to buy them at the moment?

      • zealmax on 17/04/2015 - 14:53
        +1

        I just look at gumtree and ebay. I saw a couple on gumtree last week. I just posted the message, in case in future someone searches for the speaker on google. I had a hard time looking it up on google, but for $40 it was worth the gamble. I came out on top.

      • SteveAndBelle on 17/04/2015 - 15:51

        2nd hand Speakers can be a fantastic bargain. I've spent the last few years collecting vintage Hifi and have managed to also pickup some decent modern speakers for next to nix in the process too. You just have to be patient and continually search Gumtree in your area and when I say continually I mean once every 15-30 minutes because as soon as you see some you like for a good price you've basically got to JUMP on them ASAP. If you don't then others will!

        Be careful though because speakers can be driven hard and it's not uncommon to find speakers with blown tweeters. As a minimum be sure to get the owner to give you a demo before you pay for them and be sure to put your ear up to each and every driver in the cabinets to make sure they are all making sound. With their permission it's also a good idea to gently and evenly press down around the dust cap of the woofers and listen for a scratching sound and if you do hear anything then it means the voice coils have been overheated. Not the end of the world and everything's fixable/replaceable BUT no good for anyone looking for a bargain as it means far more money needs to be spent to get them working 100%.

        As with any speaker though, new, old, large, small, expensive or budget, just remember… they're your ears so don't let anyone convince you some speakers are better than others because everyone hears things differently! Some people like the sound of cheaper speakers which are usually Bass & Treble heavy (aka 'Boom & Sizzle' to Hifi nerds), others prefer the smooth mid sections and are willing to pay a lot just to get that particular sound that's sweet to their ears and others, well they've just got too much money and think that $500,000 speakers sound better than everyone elses ;)

  • Dabbler68 on 17/04/2015 - 14:45

    If you see the price has gone back up to $398 don't give up as it may be an error.

    I saw it for $198 but between seeing it and placing the order, the price somehow got changed to $398. I can't work out exactly what I did (I did read the specs and browsed for other products) so assumed they had expired the special while I was browsing. Clicking on their product link showed it as $398.

    So I browsed all their AVRs and there it was listed as $198 again. So I put it in the cart and successfully placed the order.

  • robhung on 17/04/2015 - 14:52

    Is there much benefit for an average home user to go the receiver + speakers setup anymore? I'm considering just purchasing a sound bar instead for the sake of space / convenience, nobody at home is really much of an audiophile but this price makes me slightly tempted to do a more complicated setup ..

    • zealmax on 17/04/2015 - 14:56
      +1

      You won't know until you try it. I used to think my TV speakers were ok. After going with this AVR, my TV speakers are permanently muted. Some sound bar setups are nice. AVR have more input options.

    • lplau on 17/04/2015 - 15:01

      Not really to do with audiophile. For a budget end Receiver, this is nowhere near audiophile grade. lol.

      No soundbar can give you the full cinema experience with no rear speakers or a earthquake producing subwoofer.

      I like to have a receiver mainly due to all the inputs it can take in. Basically everything goes into the receiver then a HDMI cable goes to TV.

      Quite a few TVs nowadays don't have enough HDMI inputs or have any optical/coaxial audio inputs.

      You might also consider this one. With $377 you get all in one package. They are actually the same receivers and for $179 more, you get all the speakers ready for setup.

        Unfortunately those packaged yamaha speakers are rubbish. Lift one up and you'll find them lighter than a small packet of smiths chips.. I almost bought them

  • tommy-darko on 17/04/2015 - 16:31

    What would be the best solution in terms of audio quality for switching between multiple optical audio sources? As it stands I only have the one optical audio input on my 5.1 surround sound system which is occupied by my TV's audio output, making it very limited when it comes to such a scenario as wanting audio output from my HTPC whilst playing PS4 for example as I can only ouput audio from the one HDMI source that is selected. I've looked at those mechanical toslink optical audio switchers but they look cheap and low quality. Would a receiver be the way to go bearing in mind I still want audio to be output from my current surround sound system?

  • vinni9284 on 17/04/2015 - 16:36

    It is a great price but be aware with budget AV Receivers. Make sure you keep the "constant fading" receipt for warranty such as take a photo or scan & copy.
    Most cheapie AV's suffer from HDMI switching issues.

    Sometimes its best to upgrade and spend more on a complete 5.1 system from JB Hifi etc as they do have good specials from time to time.
    If you have existing speakers and an old amp than this is ideal. However if you would like to build a HT system from scratch, it's not worth it IMO.

    Regards

    • boomramada on 17/04/2015 - 16:50

      "constant fading" receipt = time to buy a better model cheaper?;)

      • sane on 18/04/2015 - 10:26
        +1

        He means the warranty needs the receipt, but the printing of the receipts fades after a few months no matter what - so scan or photograph it and keep it safe.

        This amp is a massively cut down version of the generic Yamaha AV receivers, so I doubt many reliability issues. I'd agree however that if you want to seriously build a home theatre setup, there are much more capable options available for slightly more money.

  • LadyGlitterSparkles on 17/04/2015 - 20:02

    Thanks OP, picked mine up on the way home from work and set up as soon as I got home. It sounds pretty good, my old Pioneer has been playing up since a recent storm named Marcia, and this will do the job fine. Didn't realise how nice an hdmi receiver would be - my Pioneer pre-dates hdmi - now I can even play the old xbox 360 with surround sound. I feel old…

  • Dazza102 on 17/04/2015 - 20:56

    Took the punt and snapped it up.

    I have a good powered sub, searching for a good deal on speakers now to fit the room space (very limited space).

  • mshanann on 18/04/2015 - 02:35

    I assume no HDMI passthrough on standby with this model? Meaning, if one were to connect media player to hifi, and then hifi to TV, the only way to get audio/video from media player on TV is to have hifi on?

    • lost on 20/04/2015 - 08:54

      Run another AV cable from media player to TV directly. If you want HiFi sound, choose HDMI source on TV, otherwise, choose AV source without turning on Hifi, but you need to compromise on definition in case you watch HD content.

  • Eca1 on 18/04/2015 - 09:53

    I am sure this unit is good quality. It is, however, quite limited in its connectivity to older components. No front USB, no AirPlay, no FLAC etc. but the price is good on special but probably not at the full price. At a Harvey Norman shop they had the label at $499, but mostly it seems to sell for $398. Also the salesman said I couldn't return the item. I wanted to check connections on players at home and there were few of the receivers left. I couldn't be bothered telling him he was breaking the law making that statement, but something to watch out for.

  • Eca1 on 18/04/2015 - 09:58

    Has anyone tried the virtual cinema front on this or any Yamaha? They say you can line up all five speakers across the front and get virtual surround sound. Especially good if you can't get wires to the back easily or a small room.

  • thecraw on 18/04/2015 - 10:09

    I am after a cheap receiver for an indoor /outdoor area. Is there any consideration when looking at the receiver to accommodate bluetooth/wireless speakers or is that plug in tech with the speakers as opposed to inbuilt in the receiver?

    • SteveAndBelle on 18/04/2015 - 10:38

      Just to clarify, are you wanting to run an indoor zone and a separate outdoor zone from the one device OR are you just wanting a "cheap receiver for an indoor/outdoor area"?

      • thecraw on 18/04/2015 - 15:01

        The later. separate receiver for gaming/movies etc that can feed wireless/bluetooth speakers in a dedicated outdoor area

        • AlisonP on 18/04/2015 - 17:48

          I wouldn't think wireless or bluetooth speakers would be much use myself. I haven't used them, but one has to wonder how long the batteries would last when pumping tunes from a 100W per channel receiver.

          Would a small dock be a better option for your outdoor needs, or hard wiring some outdoor speakers?

        • SteveAndBelle on 19/04/2015 - 08:29

          Yeah, I'm with AlisonP. You could use this to send a wireless signal out to wireless or Bluetooth speakers as anything's possible however you need a collection of bit & pieces to do it and it wouldn't be very elegant. Far better to just hardwire speakers and use a switchbox or why not just run a Bluetooth speaker or two and run music from your phone or tablet?

  • marko62 on 18/04/2015 - 12:58

    My current receiver is an Onkyo TX-DS494 which is still working well. Apart from HDMI and more power per channel, is there anything to gain from buying a cheap replacement?

  • AlisonP on 18/04/2015 - 14:42

    Will this unit allow the HDMI signal through to the TV when it is off, and would it be both audio and video, or just video?

  • [Deactivated] on 18/04/2015 - 22:02
    +1

    For those who have asked, this model does NOT transmit a HDMI signal when switched off and it strips the audio from the HDMI signal too

    Also note that it doesn't seem to control the on/off operation of my TV like many HDMI devices do

    Also, also note the remote has poor range compared to my other devices

    Other those things it's pretty good, nice sound but as others I also noticed not so great with music compared to movies, I think this is common with AVR's though and possibly also influenced by the type of speakers used

    Construction is immaculate though, electronics look well engineered and I believe it he amplifier is identical for much higher models

    • ItsMeAgro on 20/04/2015 - 10:09

      There's instructions in the manual for switching on HDMI control (switching TV on and off automatically). Not sure about making it send the audio to your display (though it can take audio input from the TV through the output HDMI cable).

  • Peteroz on 19/04/2015 - 00:59

    Any idea for how much this unit goes in States?

  • edBARGAIN on 19/04/2015 - 19:43

    waited for this deal again

    purchased one

    hope it comes in the next couple of days

  • basicerno on 20/04/2015 - 12:53

    Bought on one Friday after doing the click and collect. After setting it up it probably has way less features than my old Sony one but it does do HDMI switching and does turn my tv off etc. Set up was ok but really took a bit of fiddling to get it sounding right. Not bad for $193 but it definitely is stripped back.
