Summary: This is the best A/V reciever for the price nothing but hook ups for all your needs I added definitive pro monitor 1000 loudspeaker system and I have no complaints the Yamaha can push the monitors with a very clean sound and thump that my neighbors feel thanks Yamaha.
Updated
Love the clean power and all the hookups but at high output it gets very hot contacted Yamaha they said the RX-V861 has protection aganist over heating and they also suggested that I purchase a fan to solve the problem.Updated
The RX-V861 does get very hot at high out put contacted Yamaha they said buy a fan because you must have it in a cabnet no it is not. So Yamaha says that the reciever is protected should it ever get to hot it will cut off.6 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.
