Yamaha RX-V377 5.1-Channel A/V Home Theater Receiver – To remain competitive in this highly competitive market, Yamaha needs to enhance its lineup every year in order to maintain its reputation as making some of the best affordable home theater receivers available.

Yamaha RX V377 Review – Specifications
You could be forgiven for thinking the RX-V377 is identical to its predecessor, except that it’s 10 quid more expensive. The five channels are each rated at 70W (at six ohms), and HDMI inputs support a 4K Ultra HD passthrough. But it is its surround-sound performance that really sets it apart from most other products (apart from slightly re-ordering the inputs and outputs). The RX-V377 delivers a powerful, punchy, and detailed sound. Generally speaking, its measurements are fairly accurate, although we still need to double-check the speaker configuration (it consistently classified our very large center speaker as ‘small’). In the meantime, the remote control seems cluttered, but if you get used to where the buttons are, you can use it easily.Yamaha RX V377 Review – Performance
