HDMI with 3D and ARC
1080p HDMI with 3D and Audio Return Channel (4 In/ 1 Out) deliver crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience. HDMI can provide an interface between most audio/video sources, such as a set-top box, Blu-ray player, DVD player, or AV Receiver and a video monitor, such as a High Definition Television (HDTV), over a single cable.
Audio Return Channel (ARC) is a distinctive 3D-ready function allows consumers to use a single HDMI connection to transfer digital audio from the TV back to the AV Receiver eliminating the need for a second cable between the TV and the home theater AV Receiver.
Surround Realism
HD Audio with CINEMA DSP
Yamaha’s exclusive CINEMA DSP technology supports playback of HD Audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.), providing natural and expansive sound imaging.
Yamaha CINEMA DSP creates richly realized independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects from ideally located in these separate sound fields, you will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater!
SCENE for One-Touch Start
The Four SCENE buttons make operating the receiver easier than ever. They are initially set to default settings for BD/DVD Viewing, CD Disc Listening, TV Viewing and Radio Listening. Pressing a SCENE button will automatically launch a number of operations that initiate play of the source controlled by that button. Other SCENE settings are also available, such as iPod Listening, SiriusXM Listening [model dependent], TV Sports Viewing and Action Game Playing. Browsing and selecting the settings is quickly accomplished by changing Input via the front panel and watching the on-screen display. The settings can be selected for one-time use, or they can replace the original default settings. The SCENE names can be changed also.
Compressed Music Enhancer
When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. This function restores what was lost, so your music always sounds the way it should.
Background Video Feature
Using this feature you can eliminate the audio from unwanted TV programs by playing your favorite music in the background instead. [background music sources vary by model].
Eco-Friendly Design
This model has a low standby power consumption (0.5W) and an Auto Power Down feature (selectable to 4, 8 or 12 hours) which help make this an environmentally friendly receiver

I have the RX-V371 connected to my 42" 1080p Panasonic plasma TV and my panasonic blue ray player. Everything works together seamlessly, the remote for my panasonic TV even works on the receiver with no extra set up. The sound is absolutely amazing. I am really happy that I decided to purchase a receiver separately, in opposed to purchasing a surround sound with a built in blue ray player, the extra cost was well worth it.My only gripe is the iPhone adapter. It's normally [$], but I was able to get it off of [@] for [$], that's not my issue. I made sure to purchase the adaptor that would play video from the iPhone, but I can not get video from the iPhone to play on this receiver. I think that the descriptions were a little misleading. Music however play beautifully and seamlessly through the iPhone dock.Overall, and a very happy with this receiver, it does everything that I expected it to, and more.

My Yamaha receiver performed perfectly right out of the box; except, I can't receive any broadcast audio either AM or FM. The display reads "Decoader Off" but my owners manual does not explain how to turn it on. I call the tech support number on your website and the technician suggested I find a local repair shop. I'm disappointed, this is an otherwise fine product but with one major flaw.

The sould quality is excelent, the lacking YPAO makes it a bit difficult to configure, but after the initial speaker setup, the product is awesome. The only down side, is the remote, that can't be used to fully control other devices like TV and Bluray Player.

Comments about Yamaha rx-v371_black__u:
Replaced a 10 year old Sony 5 channel receiver and was amazed at the improvement in surround performance. All channels, and especially the rears, performed dramatically. Guess that's one of the advantages of procrastination, although the downside is all those years enduring sketchy performance. I also wish a printed manual was available, although, so far, I've not had a need to refer to extra instructions. Always been my experience that it's better to become familiar with the basics of operation through trial and error, then go to the book when you can formulate an intelligent question.
Wish the unit had some sort of HDMI sensing so I did not need to select a specific source. Was using a remote, 3/1 unit previously that knew when the BluRay player came on and switched automagically.

Comments about Yamaha rx-v371_black__u:
I had to replaced my 15 year old Kenwood 5.1 receiver because the power supply developed a low hum. Since my projection TV only had component inputs for HD I had to research which receivers still had component inputs. I found that Yamaha was on of the very few manufacturers that still offered receivers with component inputs/output connections as well as HDMI inputs. I then read the other reviews on the Yamaha receivers and found that they are rated very high. So then I had to decide which one I could afford. I decided on this unit and I am extremely pleased with the sound quality through my Boston Acoustic speakers and the units ease of use. I have my projection TV in my living room and the sound quality from this receiver surpasses my expectations. It is much better than my old Kenwood unit which I was very pleased with for many years. I am now sold on Yamaha products. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone on a low budget or someone who is getting their first 5.1 surround sound receiver.
The only thing that I didn't like was that the Owners Manual is on a CD. I had to read it and then print it out on my computer. I guess this helps the pricing as well as lending itself to the paperless society. I gave only 4 stars because of the Owners Manual.

Comments about Yamaha rx-v371_black__u:
I have the RX-V371BL set up in my living room, which is not very large. Using two large floor-standing speakers, and an original Polk SurroundBar 42. Getting GREAT sound quality, and the unit has several very useful pre-programmed sound settings that make customizing the sound for each source easy to do...once you figrue out how to do it!
Setting up the RX-V371BL can be frustrating because you have to be patient, and learn how to 'drill down' through the menus to find the desired functions. In this aspect, a printed manual would be extremely useful. The manual on DVD is useless for anyone using an iPad (like me). I did find the manual online, but again, not accessible with iPad, since it requires Adobe to read.
The easiest thing to do if someone is technically challenged is simply to stick with the basic factory settings and run sources in 'straight' mode.
Overall I'm very happy with this unit, and have purchased a Harmony 700 remote to control EVERYTHING in my h/t setup. A huge plus!
