Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster.

I tried a search for this receiver but didn't come up with anything and I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with it. Its a US model that I can't find anywhere but Best Buy, and it sounds phenomenal, at least as far as entry-level equipment goes.

What seems strange is the specs on the best buy site do not list the fact that it decodes both Dolby and DTS HD audio. Yet on the receiver itself, it lists both as compatible which is what I'm looking for.

Anyway, just wondering if there was anyone that could share opinions on this unit.

Thanks

The RXV663 and HTR6160B are equivalent Yamaha product supplied to different levels of resellers and both available in Canada. The HTR series can be found at Future Shop and Best Buy and the RXV series at specialty Home Theatre Stores such as Advance.

There is also the 6180B and 6190B that have the similar features but more power and an additional HDMI input. I have the 6190B that I cannot find fault with but it does not have the second sub output which for me is not an issue.
