I have two 12" subs and it has no problem pushing them. The only bad is that it says 1000W when its really pushing about 450-500,but thats an easy fix by getting a bigger fuse.

Colin McGraw I tend to do a lot of research before making large purchasing decisions and so far this receiver is receiving a pretty rosy reception! Its predecessor, the 1019, was CNET's and Gizmodo's top mid-range receiver. Both reviewers had just as high hopes for the 1020, and Gizmodo already called it the best receiver $550 can buy, saying the 1020 "hit the sweet spot" that gave the most bang for buyer's buck. The critics I read all raved about the excellent sound quality, but the 1020 brings some new offerings to the table for a mid-range receiver. In short, the most valuable features you get with this model that you don't get with the next step down are: 1. A fifth HDMI port in back, an extra sixth in front (for digital cameras, computers, etc.). 2. Analog video upscaling (which I don't care too much about since most of my content is HD already or played through an upscaling player). 3. The iContolAV iPhone app. Very cool for controlling volume and switching inputs. Works simply by having your receiver connected to ethernet and your iPhone connected to the network via WiFi. A few times the app has had trouble properly connecting, but it usually works well. 4. Internet radio with programmable stations, which is cool, though you can't currently control the station selections from the iPhone App, unfortunately. 5. A color configuration interface output to your TV via the HDMI output. I can't imagine trying to configure all my speakers without seeing a graphical representation of their location on screen. That last feature feature, the HDMI 1.4 ports that support 3D, the 7.1 surround capabilities, excellent sound quality and the iPhone App are what made the VSX-1020 the clear choice for me. I also appreciated the automatic calibration with the included microphone and the included iPod cable/compatibility, but those weren't as strong of selling points. The only negatives of note for me is that the little front port cover is a little cheap. It's not even a door, simply a little plastic piece that pops out if you push one side. I, like others, have also experienced the issue where the receiver switches to TV/Sat when first turned on, but I've yet to determine whether that's a problem with the receiver itself or my Harmony universal remote (I'll update the review as I get more information). One last tip to buyers, however. If you're considering listening to your phone's music over Bluetooth by buying the $99 AS-BT100 adapter, I'd consider buying a $99 Apple Airport Express instead (assuming your music is managed through iTunes). It lets you stream music from your computer to the receiver over WiFi and control what's playing via iTunes or Apple's robust "Remote" iPhone app, but more importantly the Airport Express acts as a USB print server and a one port wireless bridge (something that lets you connect wired devices to a wireless network). That wireless bridge capability is especially valuable, since you'll need it or something similar for internet radio and iControlAV iPhone app support if your VSX-1020 receiver isn't close to your wireless router (mine isn't). Buying the Airport Express kills two birds with one stone. UPDATE: A few ideas have been thrown out by other Amazon posters to help alleviate the issue with the receiver switching to TV/Sat when it first turns on. The first idea is to change the receiver's settings thusly: "1 Press Receiver , then press Home Menu. 2 Select `System Setup', then press ENTER. 3 Select `Other Setup', then press ENTER. 4 Select `HDMI Setup', then press ENTER. 5. Set Control to 'Off'." The second idea is to adjust your TV settings like so. "Go into Menu under HDMI-CEC and turn it Off. If the set is a Samsung look for AnyNet+ (default is normally On) and turn it Off." I'm still having issues going

This is the first time I've actually used an AVR for switching video. I previously ran all video inputs directly to the TV until now. Since most of my gear is HDMI capable I figured it was time to simplify things and run a single output to the TV and I'm glad I did. SYSTEM I wouldn't say I have a complex system but it's probably more complex than most. My system includes a PS3, Wii, XBox 360, Yamaha AVR, HD DVR from direcTV, Mitusbishi 73" DLP, and a Mitsubishi 3D converter. One reason I chose this AVR is it's 3D capable. SETUP Setup took awhile (several hours) since I had to configure not only the AVR but re-configure the other gear and the Harmony remote as well. I did find one bad input on component 1 but chose to move to a different input instead of returning it. I don't plan on using component if possible and have eliminated component so far. Well, at least until I get a component cable for the Wii. I had to configure and test 3D as well which added to the time. The AVR comes with a mic for auto-calibrating the speaker levels which I used successfully. I also renamed all the inputs so the AVR reflects my component names when in use. There's a nice feature that allows me to set a specific volume level whenever I activate the AVR. I set the composite input (Wii) to upconvert to 720p to HDMI output but honestly I'm not happy with the results hence the need to change the Wii to component. Although I'm not using it, the AVR has the capability of selecting any audio input for matching with a component input so you aren't stuck using optical when you need or want RCA or something other. Setting up the Harmony One remote was a bit of a challenge, although not due to the AVR. In fact the AVR was the easiest part to program on the thing. The receiver model was already part of the Harmony choices and works perfectly. Getting 3D configured was a bit more challenging but I got it going. I verified on the Yamaha web site that the AVR serial number was already HDMI 1.4 compliant and needed no firmware upgrade and indeed I was able to switch 3D from direcTV through the AVR to my Mitsu TV just fine. PERFORMANCE I am very happy with the choice, the performance and the setup options of this AVR. I'm not using all surround options (only 5.1) though. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 stars because of the bad component jack, and the inability of switching component input to the single HDMI output. Otherwise, it's a solid AVR that has drastically simplified my HDMI switching and given me 3D in the process. Good job Yamaha. Big Red 12/1/10 UPDATE! After using this AVR for awhile I thought I needed to come back and update this review. I still like it and would still recommend it but there is one little pain I should relay. During Directv program changes (stop watching DVR program, start watching another) I get a blue screen quite often. A blue screen from the TV's pov means no signal. However, to be fair I don't know if this is the fault of the receiver or the TV since both are new. The pain, the program will be playing while I can't see it, it takes a few seconds to sync up. The way I deal with it is to simply pause the program until the picture is onscreen. The firmware is upgradeable on the AVR so hopefully they will fix this issue if indeed it is the AVR causing it. Big Red 1/18/11 UPDATE! This is a critical update since it affects the functionality of the AVR. When I turn the volume up in the area of 10-13 and the source (usually DVD) gets to a particularly LOUD part, mostly action scenes...the receiver will sometimes simply shut off. To be honest it hasn't happened alot so I'm a little forgiving but I was watching Inception and I needed the volume loud because the center channel is a bit quiet.

Goetz We had a very old audio only receiver and were looking to replace it (almost 10 year old technics). We picked up the Yamaha RX-V367, even though there were no reviews, since the receiver was just released, and it was in our price range (200 to 300). So far we are happy with the new receiver; it is connected to the satellite box, xbox, and blu ray. Speaker set up: Set of Polk Rti8 (left right and center), and klipsch Klipsch Synergy Series SS.5 rear surround (left and right). The sound coming from the speakers was MUCH better than from our ancient receiver. Not a fan of the Sound Field Programs, seems too much like a gimmick, and only adds an echo depending on what setting (one setting might effect the vocals more, or another setting might effect the music), but I imagine some people would enjoy that. Has many audio processing options, works great with Netflix streaming, set it to 5ch stereo and it will work great; can clearly listen to what's playing (netflix only streams in 2ch stereo). Mainly use the "Straight" audio processing setting (for xbox and blu ray), I assume the receiver doesn't add any extra "audio goo", and plays direct from the source. Good video quality, no noticeable video deterioration. Yamaha says it's compatible with HDMI 1.4 and will support 3D (with a firmware upgrade). Not that interested in 3d TVs anyways. Clear and easy to use menu system (compared to my old technics receiver), competent directions, fairly user friendly. Has 4 HDMI inputs which was much better than many of the competitors in the same price range. We didn't test the FM/AM tuner, and only connected HDMI and RCA from computer. We were also swayed by the extra bluetooth adapter so we can listen to music (and hopefully stream Hulu audio) wirelessly from the computer (and get rid of the airport express). Will update review after getting bluetooth. 27 of 29 people found the following review helpful. Terrific value for the money By Dave Dodd I rarely do reviews - but here I must make an exception. I highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a quality receiver to complement a Blu-ray player. I had an older Denon receiver which delivered great sound, but when the Blu-ray movies started arriving from Netflix, I found most of them required a DTS decoder which was absent in the Denon. After considerable research, I stumbled onto the new line of Yamaha receivers. I was a bit dubious, having always previously owned Denon and Sony, but the specs looked good, and the price was unbelievable, so I took the plunge. After a month or so of use, I have no regrets. The sound quality I am getting from my 5.1 Polks far exceeds the prior system. Sounds are richer, brighter, and the surround has more separation and clarity. For a 100 W per channel system, the power consumption appears amazingly low - the top of the receiver just gets barely warm, not hot. The speaker setup works well, and the movie and music presets, as well as the enhanced 5 ch stereo are outstanding, really enhancing the audio of the corresponding input. The display is large enough to see from the viewing chair, is clean and simple, and keeps the viewer appropriately informed. I applaud Yamaha for producing such a high quality product at a value price-point. 19 of 20 people found the following review helpful. So Far...Nice!!! Happy!!! By M.

Great Receiver, Great Price By Woots The reason to get this receiver over the 605 is the step up to 3 hdmi inputs and THX certification. The power consumption of this unit is more efficient then the 805 and 605. This unit was built after those 2 other models. This isn't the lonely middle child, it shines on its own. There is also a slew of issues this receiver does not exhibit that the 805 has problems with (check AVS forums for details) HDMI video looks great, 7.1 sound great! Price is great! :) 45 of 47 people found the following review helpful. Gotta have * 3 * HDMI 1.3 inputs By Abhilash Nambiar I've had this AV Receiver for 2 weeks now. It plays nicely with my Samsung LNT-4661 LCD TV, Playstation 3, Motorola DCT6412 cable DVR and PC. I have a 7.1 speaker setup (at the moment it's a jumble of brands - Polk RM8000T front, Infinity Alpha 25ES dipole/bipole surround, Acoustic Research AR303 rear surround and Infinity subwoofer). I think one of the key reasons I chose to go with the SR705 over the SR605 is the fact that it has * 3 * HDMI inputs. It keeps the cabling a little better under control when there's only a single receiver to TV HDMI cable. Also it handles the upconversion of non-HD sources very well with Faroudjia DCDi. I'd say I'd agree with the complexity of setup, but it's easier than it is on a lot of other AV Receivers. It comes with the Audyssey calibration equipment. I haven't done any fancy audiometry to evaluate the accuracy of the automatic calibration but I'm impressed as a listener. It has all the power it needs to fill the room with sound, whether it's classical music, rock or movie soundtrack. I'm happy with my decision. 132 of 151 people found the following review helpful. zone 2 ONLY PLAYS analog input By Anthony Mael I totally agree with all previous reviews but I want to add one detail that totally boggles my mind. When I setup my outdoor speakers I could not get any sound out of them and tried everything. Until I read the trouble shooting section in the manual that states: NO Sound, Zone 2? ONLY COMPONENTS CONNECTED TO ANALOG INPUTS CAN BE PLAYED IN ZONE 2" so if by chance you want to use your XM/Serius MP3 digital player in multiple zones, you cant! IPOD connected? nope that wont work either. I ended up running RCA cables into the receiver from my MP3 player (weak sauce considering what i just paid for this thing). I just upgraded from an old Yamaha that did this just fine. I am not going to return it because i am pretty much invested in the thing now. If I had to do it over again I would like to have known this up front. I am still in shock... See all 178 customer reviews...

Most helpful customer reviews 23 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Great sound. Unbeatable value By Ampelmann So far, this is probably the best home theater system for the price. So let's get started with the review. PRESENTATION The box is huge, so you know just by looking at it you're purchasing something serious. Despite the box arrived pretty damaged, the system itself was unharmed. The speakers are definitely sturdy, well-built and looks like quality ones, only the protective grids are made in plastic and look somewhat cheap. The receiver looks elegant, giving the sensation of being a lot more expensive. Subwoofer is big but not that much, so it can fit almost anywhere in the room. Installation is very easy since all speakers, speaker inputs and cables are color-coded, so it's very difficult to do it wrong. AUDIO Overall, my listening experience so far has been of pure joy. The sound of its 7.1 channels fill the room with great clarity and power. Movies sound amazing, my current demo disc is the Inception Blu-ray, using "Direct" mode or "THX Cinema". The bass is deep, and easily fills the whole room. Dialogs sound clear and natural and surround effects are as immersive as they get. With music is still very good, but not that great. Anyway, this can't be blamed on the system quality, but rather in the configuration, since for music is always better having big main speakers and not small speakers with a good subwoofer. But again, music still sounds very, very good. The volume is enough to fill a small to mid-sized room, and with enough, I mean it can get very, very loud, enough to have all your neighbors complaining about it, specially if you live in an apartment. But I bet you won't resist the temptation to listen your movies at THX reference volume level, even if it may get too loud. VIDEO The video is pretty good but somewhat lacks the same quality level than audio. Upconversion is decent but tends to slightly deform standard definition broadcasts. Overall, the best way is setting the video resolution "as is". But with HD signals, you won't find the slightest reason to complain. RECEIVER Yes, as everybody said before, the receiver runs hot. Very hot, specially at high volume levels (heat depends entirely of volume level, actually), so you have to be very careful about where you're fitting this in. It must be well ventilated, and avoid setting it on poorly-vented enclosed cabinets. Anyway, about its features, what can I say? It has so many processing modes, chances are you won't ever use some of them. Virtually there aren't any audio formats this unit can't decode, or video signals it doesn't support (including 3D). And there are so many ways to process the same signal, you may have fun for hours trying to test all of them (if you want to take your time, of course). Audyssey calibration is great, it configures the audio to achieve optimal sound performance according to room acoustics, all by itself. Of course, if you're a bit picky like me, you may want to tweak resulting settings a bit. Cables are a bit on the thin side, so if you don't feel comfortable with the included ones, you won't have a problem replacing them with thicker ones, yet the included ones seem to do their job pretty good. Also, you may wonder, why buy this system instead of the cheaper 7300, 6300 or such? (they even include an ipod dock that this model don't, for reasons beyond my understanding) The answer is simple: This system has remarkably better speakers, and the THX features are actually pretty useful, adding several tweaks and improvements. So, overall, this is a great system with an unbeatable value. For its price, you may try assembling your home theater with separate components, but you won't get even close to the sound quality and features of this system. 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful.
