What customers say about "Key Specs"
Yamaha RX-A2080 AVENTAGE 9.2-Channel AV Receiver - Black
- This receiver is exactly what I was looking for. A little pricey but if you like quality and performance this won't disappoint.
- Always have liked Yamaha. Good quality, good features, and good looking. Not the cleanest of all receivers, but also not the most expensive.
- This AV Receiver support my 7.1.2 home theater very well both sound and picture. I love it and I would recommend this Receiver to anybody who appreciate the great sound and picture.
- It's easy to set up and customise, the sound field is absolutely superb. With the AI Surround feature you get full use of however many speakers you have.
- The receiver just seems to be a little sluggish in operation and lacks a little speed whan changing input sources for example.
Yamaha RX-A3080 AVENTAGE 9.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver w/MusicCast
- The RX-A3080 is extremely well designed, extremely well made, and comes from a company with some serious history and breadth. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
- The receiver setup is easy and straight forward, no surprises.
- This receiver is incredible, easy set-up, the user menus have been simplified to be much easier.
- This product has more watts per channel than most competitive brands at this level and price point.
- I experienced a Yamaha RX-A3010, for 8 year, and was very upset with what it was capable of.

What customers say about "Features"
Yamaha RX-A2080 AVENTAGE 9.2-Channel AV Receiver - Black
- The extra zone feature driving my pool area speakers is also a huge plus.
- It's EASY to setup, has a LOT of options, phone App is excellent compared to the Onkyo App.
- Having owned several AV amps over the years, I find it odd that the cinema sound format is not displayed, such as Dolby Digital or DTS.
- The sound can be a little harsh, toppy in the higher frequencies. This can most likely be altered to individual tastes by a little tweaking.
- The Yamaha set up app would only work if it could connect to the amp through the internet, which it failed to do.
Yamaha RX-A3080 AVENTAGE 9.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver w/MusicCast
- Using their app to help you set things up is very easy, it tells you exactly how to wire your inputs and speakers up and will internally program the receiver.
- It is just a bit clearer and anecdotally perceived as more extended high frequency performance than my previous Onkyo and Denon.
- It also has bluetooth out that is not proprietary. Most other competitive brands have their own proprietary wireless output so you have to use their brand of speakers.
- My chief complaint is in the Bluetooth connection to my Quiet Comfort II and Quiet Comfort III headphones.
- Upgrading from RX-A880 to use with the new MusicCast 20 speakers for surround setup. Very disappointed this is not yet supported and will require a later firmware update.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Yamaha RX-A2080 AVENTAGE 9.2-Channel AV Receiver - Black
- The RX-A2080 also benefits from a dedicated Zone B output. Zone switching lets you watch and listen to one source in a room and another in a different room.
- The second zone can also make use of the dedicated pre-amp or speaker outlets for complete independence.
- This receiver will actually let you hook up from 2 speakers and more, and 1 or 2 subwoofers.
- It takes a long time to set up the wires because there's 11 channels.
- Had a couple of problems getting the receiver to work with a Humax freeview receiver and an old Technomate satellite unit.
Yamaha RX-A3080 AVENTAGE 9.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver w/MusicCast
- There are a ton of inputs and outputs, with plenty of power from a very solid, well designed platform. It is a tad higher than the RXV3800, but not much.
- The sound is out of this world, and the video is great on my Brand new OLED TV. Quick easy connectivity for all devices.
- The RX-A2080 has seven HDMI inputs, all of which are HDCP 2.2 4K 60p 4:4:4 compatible, so it will play well with everything.
- The 9.2 channel provides a lot of flexibility for multi zone setup and the 3rd HDMI output can be assigned to a separate zone so you can watch/listen to a separate input than the other zone.
- The receiver was excellent for almost 6 months and then the receiver just quit outputting sound.
