THIS IS AN EXCELLENT HOME THEATER RECEIVER WHICH I OWN.
By stewart L
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT RECEIVER THAT PRODUCES 100W X 6,WITH VERY LOW DISTORTION.YOU HAVE NEARLY EVERY INPUT YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED,IN A STANDARD HOME THEATER,SET-UP.I ALSO LIKE THAT THIS UNIT HAS A 4 OHM LOW IMPEDENCE SWITCH.THIS IS VERY HELPFUL BECAUSE MANY SPEAKERS RATED AT 8 OHMS,MAY DROP TO AS LOW AS 2 OHMS,OR EVEN LOWER.MANY AMPLIFIERS OVER-HEAT,OR GO INTO PROTECTION,OR CURRENT LIMITING.THIS COULD TURN THE AVERERGE RECEIVER INTO A 1 WATT AMPLIFER,IN THE REAL WORLD.WHEN AN AMPLIFIER CLIPS YOUR SPEAKERS MAY BE DAMAGED.ACTUALLY THE MORE CLEAN POWER YOU HAVE,THE LESS CHANCE YOU HAVE TO DAMAGE YOUR EQUIPMENT.NOW THE YAMAHA HTR5850 FITS THE BILL.IT HAS HIGH POWER, HIGH CURRENT,OUTPUT,AND LOW DISTORTION.YOU CAN ALSO LISTEN TO XM-SATELLITE RADIO.WITH AN ADDITIONAL ADAPTER.I FOUND THE YAMAHA TO BE EASY TO SET UP.THIS IS A COMPUTERIZED SET UP FOR THE SOUND,HOWEVER YOU CAN SET THINGS UP MANUALLY,IF YOU WISH.YOU SHOULD USE A Y ADAPTER FROM THE SUBWOOFER OUT TO YOUR SUBWOOFER,IF IT HAS A DUAL STEREO INPUTS.THIS IS JUST A RECOMMENDATION,AS I THINK IT IMPROVES PERFOMANCE.THIS RECEIVER IS FANTASTIC.THE SOUND IS STUNNING,WITH MOVIES,AND MUSIC.THE YAMAHA IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY ME.YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS RECEIVER.

An Upgrade to Yamaha AV 620 receiver
By Tony Thiel
I am really undecided if this unit is better than the one I had in terms of sound quality and volume. So I have mixed feelings on doing this review. I'm sure it would be a major improvement for those that don't have a good working receiver.What I like about it:The ability to change the sound level of each individual speaker. The 6 channel mode where one could add a rear center speaker that I have yet to add on. The XM satelite radio capability although one would have to purchase the unit (cheap) and sign up for an account with the XM Satelite Radio service.Here's a nice feature: The ability to convert Composit Video Signal to S-Video Signal, and S-Video signal to Component Video Signal for better picture quality. And when would one use this? When you have an old unit (like a DVD/VCR player)that doesn't have the S-video or Component video output.What I don't like:What I am dissapointed with is that it lacks the on-screen display that the 620 had, where I could see the changes I make right on the tv monitor. For an old guy like me, that's a nice feature instead of trying to squint and read the led on the receiver.But whatever negative issue I mentioned above, please don't use this as your basis for deciding on purchasing a Yamaha Receiver. I have had THREE Yamaha receivers in the past and I do LOVE them. Built like a tank and works great. This is just my mistake in making this upgrade and as an analogy, what I did was like upgrade from a 4 cylinder engine to a 4 1/2 cylinder engine (if there was such a thing!). The bottom line is that you won't see much difference. What I should have done is upgraded to a Yammie 1500 or 2400, but my financial situation dictated what I could buy. I guess I was just icthing to upgrade to something new. Shudda saved my money, ... a lesson learned!
