Our Take
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.

CINEMA DSP transforms the dynamics of the listening environment, with acoustic reproduction of famous venues such as the Bottom Line, Roxy Theater, and European cathedrals—letting you experience their ambience right in your room.
Easy Sound Optimisation
YPAO™
YPAO (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer) analyses the room acoustics and your system, then precisely adjusts various audio parameters to provide the best sound for your room. Simply by placing the supplied microphone at your listening position and switching YPAO on, the system is automatically tuned for optimum performance in your home theatre room.
