Yamaha’s RX-V385 is not your average entry-level receiver. The receiver has plenty of inputs and a few features that we wouldn’t expect to find on an amp at this price point. As far as sound quality, the 385 sounds much bigger than it is. Pair this receiver with a good set of speakers and your home theater will shine.

It’s most obvious strengths would be it’s performance as for this price we were really satisfied with the kind of quality this unit can pump out, it supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, features Cinema DSP and virtual technologies, comes with the YPAO audio calibration system and supports Bluetooth streaming, eARC, full 4K pass-through and Bi-amp capabilities for an excellent, entry-level price.

This is a great starter option for your home theater. Just imagine being able to set up a really great-sounding system in your home without spending too much money on it. It’s a great addition to your entertainment system and makes watching TV a really great experience.
