Excellent foundation piece to build around. Experiment with the effects to find the sound you like. We bought it last Christmas through the internet site of a large reputable electonics store in Manhattan at a special price of $629. We are very happy with it.

Does anybody know whats the difference between RX-V795 and R-V1105. They look same except they claim that 1105 has learning remote....
thnx

Andy KEnt is one of the worst people at that store to deal with. He is very rude and likes to hang up on people who don't order immediately.
However, the store is good.

Great sound

None for the price.

I own the HTR-5240 & RX-V795. The HTR-5240 has a bit more a mellow, but both have great sound for their applications. These units won't play at night club levels. I save that for my Carver system in the living room. For the medium to small room they are outstanding. The 795 is in the bedroom while the 5240 is in the spare bedroom ( where I have my computer ). The only reason I have the 795 in the bedroom is that it has a lighted volume knob that i can see in the dark. But the wheel on the 795's remote is a bit harder to use unless you remember what the next series of selections will be in either direction from where you are starting from. Of course no problem with the lignt on. I know what bottons to push in the dark with the 5240's remote. It's not hard to remember the button layout of either remote. Just dealing with that selector knob on the 795's remote in the dark is the hard part. I hear and read about a lot of people complaining that the DSP modes don't sound right or are useless. Folks, don't be afraid to adjust the parameters as close to perfect as you can to suit your taste ( like you adjust your car seat the way you want it even if it's not perfect. You make the car seat as comfortable as you can for you ). Most of the DSP modes have at least 1 or more parameters that can be changed. Break new ground. Experiment. You might find some setting you like. The only reason I mentioned this is because the one's that I have heard or read about never mention that they really tried to adjust the parameters before they concluded that the DSP modes were useless. Maybe they assumed that it was obvious that they did, but it didn't seem that they played with the parameters to me. For use in a small to medium system in the small to medium room these products are excellent. Even the VERY high end equipment is not perfect ( damn close ). If you have the money to seek perfection, by all means do so. But these units will not get you there. For what you pay you get outstanding results with these units across to board.

I just hooked mine up and it really impresses me. The DSP modes were a terrific suprise. Not silly reverb like my old Onkyo but really useful and usable. Plenty of power. My sub adds to a movie, not just a constant useless sound of an impending thunder storm from my last unit. They tried with the remote but.... you need a magnifying glass to read it and it is fairly useless in the dark. For the price, its a no brainer!

I love the recevier. After hooking up my Toshiba 2108 DVD player to it, I was floored by the quality of sound that came through. Compared to my old Harman Kardon AVR20II, it is quite a refreshing change. For the money, its a wonderful buy.

I compared this on str-50es this reciever is so bright and the voice it's not that natural on the price category 50es is $649 and the yamaha is $599 I'm gonna go for 50es besides the remote of the yamaha looks pretty cheap and you cannot see it on the dark so for the receiver I give it 4 stars and the remote is 2 stars.

SO "RDP" WHERE DID YOU FIND THE PRICE $599 FOR YAMAHA RX-V795?

Where can I get the best price for the RX-V795? Thanks for any info.

Same redundant comment, great receiver!!! Where's the best place to get it???
