You can not tune to next station without manual. Nice looking receiver, good sound for the money, but absolutely nightmare to program. Once you save your favorite stations you are stuck with them, unless you want to spend another afternoon cursing over manual.Please avoid.
I'll replace it with something else with a solid warranty; perhaps an exchange agreement. Beware the Yamaha Warranty. The repair depot (third party) doesn't have a clue. If these made in China, hot running receivers crap out it's unlikely that they can be repaired. If you don't have to use it you're fortunate.
This morning I told them to return the unit. According to them there is no problem. The best sounding receiver I've ever owned - that is until it began changing the settings I programmed in by itself. I reset and reprogrammed the receiver several times but it always changed the settings. Replacement is the ONLY option.
They've had it for a month. A receiver lasts me about two years on the average.
Something with this much power probably just will. However, I'm sure it would set up just as well and easy with a more conventional DVD / CD / VCR / TV tuner as sources.5.1 channels are more than adequate for me. I migrated from Panasonic systems after some quality problems to this Yamaha and there will be no looking back.Power seems more than ample for the size of our media room; about 12' x 20'. Not a complaint, but I may put a small fan in our media cabinet.Setup was not hard. I know the current thing is towards having some unholy number of speakers scattered from hades to breakfast - the quality of the 5.1 from this box is very pleasing and very realistic for films and music.
I'd have to see a drastically better system than this to convince me to burn more cash on a more cutting-edge receiver.The box does generate some expected warmth. I've successfully used the multichannel inputs as well as the traditional RCA inputs. Impressive sound box. Note that you can also channel your video feeds through it on their way to the final monitor in your system.Of note, I use this with a PC media center. Take a few minutes and read the instruction pack.
There are a myriad of input options. They make good sense and you'll be able to choose the style of sounds reproduction that best suits you.
Works and sounds good. Item fit the need I had exactly. Satisfied with purchase and delivery
I hooked it up with a $200 5 speaker Yamaha surround sound system (nothing like my parent's Bose Flagship system) and the sound is impeccable. It has countless connection possibilities, is XM-ready, and can easily be programmed by a universal remote (I use my Comcast cable remote with it). The Yamaha HTR-5930SL has so far been an awesome receiver. The sound that this pumps out is wonderful - crisp, loud FM stereo; floor shaking movie sounds - this thing is great. Great receiver, great price, and it can make any speaker system sounds like a million bucks.
