Easy to set up, highly customizable, On screen programming, sound clarity and price.

None so far.

This is my third receiver upgrade since 1995, I started with a Sony which promptly went back due to poor sound clarity and high levels of "hissing" at higher volumes. I moved up to a Yamaha Entry level receiver R-V703 which produced much clearer sound and no hissing. A few weeks ago I moved up to the Yamaha 5460 for a little more kick, DTS, and optical inputs. I've been pleased so far and will continue to update my experiences as they unfold. My set includes the following: JBL N series Center, JBL HLS820 Mains, JBL N26 series surrounds, and an entry level Yamaha 8" subwoofer. If you're in the market for a new receiver and want the most for your money, this is definately your box!

Great Sound - Flexible inputs

Remote could be better

This was my first attempt at putting together a Home Theater and getting an A/V Receiver.

I love how easy it was to setup and customize. The sound is great. I have a rather narrow, but long living room and this reciver suites me well. Matched with JBL N 26's for my rears, JBL Subwoofer, older Bose 301's for the front and a JBL N Center,it sounds great wether watching digital cable or a DVD.

I tried the 5250, but this model was released about a week later - I exchanged for it and am very pleased that I did.
