Review: Yamaha quality! - Excellent sound quality. Easy setup. Complicated audio menus take awhile to master, but once you do you'll be rewarded with amazing sound. Works flawless with my 4k projector and computer. 4 hdmi inputs handles all your audio and video. The auto labeling feature is amazing. I've been using it daily for two years and it performs perfectly. You'll need an external subwoofer amp which is a bit of a let down. I bought one of the small Fosi amps from desertcart that handles the bass flawlessly. Overall, an excellent receiver that will be the centerpiece of your audio and video system. Couldn't be happier. Buy it if you're on the edge of purchasing a new receiver!
Review: Far superior to price comparable Sony receiver - I want to compare this to Sony STRDH590, which I owned before this and is of a comparable price. My Sony stopped receiving signal from its remote control within 2 years. There was no way to control many features due to this. The Yamaha has a wide range of buttons on the front if the remote fails. Now that I have this Yamaha and can compare the sound, this is MUCH better than the Sony. The sound is crisp and clear. This Yamaha receiver has a 5ch stereo expansion setting and the Sony did not even have that. This receiver also has a direct setting that turns off all extra parts of the stereo to attempt to get a clearer signal, including the front panel. The Sony has the nicer input ports (the ones that take the banana plugs) only on the left and right channel where this Yamaha has them for all five channels. The subwoofer output from the Yamaha is considerably better than the Sony and produces a cleaner sound. The Yamaha setup is extremely easy and takes just a few minutes with the included microphone. So far I haven't had too much difficulty with voices being quiet in movies. There are several applicable sound options for how to process movie input. The only downsides to this Yamaha are that it only has 4 HDMI inputs and doesn't support eARC. According to the marking ARC is only on the first HDMI input.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What’s the difference between this and the 383 model?**
A: All 5 of the channels take banana plugs as input in the 385. 3 channels are direct speaker wire in the 383

**Q: When playing music in stereo, does the unit drive the subwoofer along with the two front speakers?**
A: There is only a pre amp output for subwoofer so you need to have a powered subwoofer.  A non powered subwoofer would not be able to be connected.

**Q: Do I need to use an optical cable to set up my tv?  I thought an HDMI would do, but I cannot hear any sound without use of an optical cable.**
A: No optical cable needed. Just connect your TV Arc to the receiver arc . With that every thing else you connect in the back of your receiver HDMI port  like the blue ray , Amazon Fire TV , projector ect souls come up on your TV screen with a sound . If not your receiver sound is low just increase your receiver sound higher Using the remote and the sound Should come out . For a better quality use the HDMI cable cinema plus 2.0 that has HDHomeRun 2.2 Dolby vision Dolby atmos DTS:X . You may use an optical cable if you do not have an Arc HDMI on your TV . If you have it on both TV and Receiver and
Connect the 2 should work. If not your initial sounds on your sound setting is low just increase the sound using your remote

**Q: Does this avr support zone 2 speaker pair? can it play a+b simultaneously?**
A: befuddled: the v385 has no zone 2 outs yet, correy says zone cont'rl zone 2 powered!?????can i run my rs 700 off this new rcv'r--y-n??

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's entry level but it does it great.
*by C***K on December 4, 2020*

For what it is, an entry level reciver it is great. Haven't had it long now, about a month but it has been great. Used to own onkyo, pioneer and Harmon Kardon recivers back before HDMI and blu ray. Have used a soundbar for the past few years but finally decided to jump back on a detecated surround system. For my apartment this sounds phenomenal. I don't normally mess with the DSPs so I can't comment on those, I prefer direct sound. Could it use more power? Probably but again this is entry level stuff. I use 12 gauge speaker wire on the front 3 speakers and 14 to the surrounds and it sounds great. Front speakers are 6 ohms and rears are 8 but no trouble driving them. Dialog is crystal clear and the overall sound is warm and pleasant. Playback of Blu ray and Ultra blu ray in both DTS HD and Dolby TrueHD is such a treat, absolutely made me realize how limited a soundbar was. Music playback is fantastic, have my laptop with Jriver hooked up through HDMI for playback of FLAC and WAV audio files from 44khz/16bit all the way up to 192khz/24bit with every genre of music. Put it in direct stereo mode and it sounds blissful. DSD playback does work but only at 2.8mhz DSD64 which is still great considering the price. 4K pass through works as it should, no troubles with HDR or Dolby Vision content. Can't comment on FM or am radio playback. Bluetooth playback is alright, music enhancer does a noticible job of cleaning the music a bit, nothing extreme but does add a cetain clarity. The Bluetooth could have been a more recent standard especially since this reciver came out in 2018 but again entry level. For my Echo it is fine for the rare occasion I send audio to it. Playback of music from LG V60 over Bluetooth sounds okay but wired connection still beats wireless as far as audio is concerned and if you just playing back mp3s AAC, it won't matter, it works. 4K upscale works fine, really didn't mess with it too much because TV is normally going to do a better job of upscalling anyway. Has auto HDCP detection which is nice, allows all HDMI connections to play nice. Binding posts with Banna plug compatibility is nice to see at this price. User interface is nice and simple. One area I can see trouble with is the fact you have to go online for the manual. Again, as a entry level reciver there isn't really much to complain about.
