I will never, ever understand this receiver. For that price, you can get a REAL receiver, not this one. I suppose if you lived in a 8' X 6' box with another person and space was an absolute premium, then it might be OK, but if that's the case, you've got bigger issues than needing a receiver.

Just placed my order.

It took a few tries before I got the promo code discount
to work, but finally did.

@spyder69696969: This price is a deal. But when it first came out there were so many better receivers for half the price it was comical.

Wait... I'm definitely looking for a good, cheap receiver. I don't even watch tv... I just want awesome sound and video from my ps3 and xbox 360. Will I have problems with this one? What makes it not a real receiver?

oops. posting from bed on the smartphone wasn't a good idea. Also, does this thing pass audio through to the tv?

this seems like a pretty sweet deal, does anyone have one that they can share their opinion about this? Can I hook up any speakers or do they need to be specific yamaha ones? Any details would be greatly appreciated!

@venzam: It's a standard receiver that will take standard speakers.

@cerberez: It's a basic receiver with several extra "tweaks" (WiFi for example.) For $180 it's a really hard deal to beat. For $800 (original price) it was a bit too high.

I only see one audio input.

Why would they design it that way? Guess I'll have to use my Sima switcher box.

I'm a custom electronics installer and have installed a couple dozen of these amazing receivers. It's not for every application, but for small to medium size rooms, and clients who want to hide their equipment in a base cabinet - there is nothing better, or cheaper. It is a surround receiver, a universal remote, and a wireless streaming device, all in one. I HIGHLY recommend this piece, as there is nothing I have found in 10 years of doing this professionally, that comes close to delivering this functionality at this price. I'm very disappointed that Yamaha has chosen to discontinue this product - hence the huge price drop. It works really well when installed properly.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
