Yamaha RX-V2700 Receiver Review

The Yamaha RX-V2700 network receiver comes packed full of features: HDMI, multiple zones, MP3 streaming and more.

I bought this model two years ago for $1,600 and never looked back. It's powering 5 Klipsch reference speakers. Love the features and multi zone outputs. It's heavy! You should see the power transformer in it - it's HUGE. So, yeah - my home theater receiver has an IP address... so cool.

I bought this receiver off Craigslist for $175. Absolutely immaculate. Remotes and microphone and Bluetooth receiver included. Love this receiver!

Well, for 175 bucks you are doing nothing wrong

[@TheJammer73]

I was lucky to buy one at Goodwill for $75 but it was the 2600. For $175 on the newer one is a steal. Just have to find the right speaker, super clean sound.

I bought this same receiver for $40 from FaceBook marketplace two days ago. I cannot get it to play 5.1 where my old receiver would. I have another Yamaha receiver I could never get to play 5.1 and thought that was a technical issue. Seems to be a Yamaha thing. Anyone got any tips?

Yamaha makes amazing receivers

Great receiver, great video!

@Philscbx well in any case turns out the reciever was fine all along. it was the fuses in my cerwin vegas that blew. replaced em and now i'm back! :)

[@blkattk2]

@Philscbx i kept a towel wrapped over the vents and a shoe box with cd's on top of it. so i guess you can say it was boxed lol. but man did i forget how good this thing sound. crystal clear and very very loud.! it dims my lights when the bass hits at loud volumes. my speakers are cerwin vega's 3 way w/15" subs (spl 101) 4 ohm. my receiver is rated at 135 watts at 8 ohms. so it must be putting out close to 200 watts a channel. and let me tell you hearing is believing!!!

[@pmgodfrey]

@Philscbx It still works great, -- but I've added a second home theater which is using an Anthem Statement D2v processor and the Anthem Statement A5 amplifier. Speakers for that one are the Paradigm Studio 100's, and two Paradigm SUB 12's. When comparing $12,000 worth of processor and amplifier to the RX-V2700 -- there is no comparison. The Anthem is in a class of it's own.

We just purchased a house that has a Control4 system in it using this receiver. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the graphical user interface displayed on my HDTV to make adjustments. Do you know how to do that?

[@MrDistech]

Download the PDF manual, it's in there... Good luck

@@MrDistech Thanks for the 'help.' I find it astounding that you've got 1 million subscribers with the kind of knowledge you freely provide. Good job.

bought me A yamaha rx-v2600 in 2007 and only used it 6 months. was stored in my basement (moisture free) for 3 years and just recently reused it. it played for a few mins then i lost all sound and can't get it back. paid $1400 for it and i am pissed! help :(

[@Neojhun]

@Philscbx It's called fucking Australia (or any other dry place). I come from Melbourne the air there is bone dry. In summer it's worst. So a basement there is actualy a very nice place in summer.

Except when we get a humid summer!!

[@Site4Animation]

HDMI Passthrough? Fail.

[@MrLoup454]

[@nickfatsis9607]

It does, it's via a button under the flip out door.
