This is a great HT receiver, clean crisp sound, great digital and prologic performances. got plenty of inputs and outputs, + s-vhs. Just love this units, the remote is great but very ugly. Very good units for the price. |

I bought his product about a year ago and still i have not found anything to fault about. Features are awesome, performance is outstanding for the money, plenty of power and AC-3 is breath taking! |

Strength:
Excellant processing ability
Weakness:
Bright sound I love the versatality of this unit however, I do have a problem with hissing noise. If I set an input to cd/dvd, tuner, tv, etc and turn the volume up approaching the halfway point, without any other equipment being turned on, I can hear a hiss in the speakers. When I select cd/dvd, I can actually hear whatever radio station the tuner is set to, coming from the speakers. I am bringing the unit in for servicing but was wondering if anybody else had encountered this problem. i have the unit matched with M&K LCR75's and MX105 Sub. On movies, the system is unbeatable for shear presence however on music I find it too bright. I would give the unit 5 stars but am taking off 1 star for the hiss problem and 1 star for brightness. |

Strength:
Versatile HT Receiver. Lot's of inputs.
Weakness:
No DTS or 5.1 Channel Input Great receiver. Terrific sound for both stereo and Dolby Digital. Simple front pannel layout. Sound Fields are there if you are into them. I wish I had waited for the 995 or the 2095, though. But then again. I enjoyed it for almost two years before they came out. Still don't feel the need to shell out the bucks for the upgrade yet. |

Strength:
Variety of sound fields, cost, remote
Weakness:
no DTS, could use a little more power (like 995) Excellent component. . . have 7 speakers connected and can handle 3 more. Beautiful sound. Remote is awesome for controlling all my components (once I figured out how to use it). Replaced my old Pioneer and WOW! Recommend to all. |

Strength:
Yamaha quality
Weakness:
Remote. Yamaha really needs to work on this end. Replaced a 5+ year old Pioneer VSX-901 with this to get Dolby Digital decoding for DVD/DBS. Not nearly as fully featured as the Pioneer. Lacks ability to select audio and video sources separately, wireless remote multiroom source changing and many of the Pioneer's other features that I never, ever used (eg video enhancement). Pioneer's remote much, much better. All that said, sound is absolutely fantastic. It's able to drive the lows into the subwolfers of my Definitive Technology speakers via rca cable. Does auto switching between composite video and svideo. Saves and recalls sound field settings by source. All in all got a terrific bargain on this at a local reseller. With the 995 only adding DTS processing, which I believe should go the way of Divx, it was a steal. |

Strength:
Signal processing
Weakness:
Bright sound I finally had my receiver repaired.It had a problem with background hiss from the tuner section. I took it to a Yamaha authorized repair center. I brought it home and it worked fine. I found out that they disconnected the tuner! |

I have owned the RXv-992 for about 8 months now, and find it to be the best sounding receiver I have ever owned. It is warmer and more musical than anything I've ever heard before. And it really shines on DVD's. Only complaint is that now I feel that I must trade it in for the 995, because the 992 is now obsolete, owing to it's not havin DTS or 6-channel inputs. I feel bad that I just spent 1000 bucks and have to spend about another 600 to trade it in almost a year later. i may keep it until the next generation is released. That will probably have an MLP decoder for the new DVD audio format. |
