Yamaha RX-V350 AV-receiver

Despite the fact that Yamaha RX-V350 is the youngest of the company AV receivers, its equipment is impressive. The unit uses the same 32-bit YSS-938 processor as the older models, but its capabilities are not fully utilized here. Nevertheless, it supports DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Pro Logic II. Naturally, the RX-V350 offers a wide range of proprietary Yamaha soundfield processing programs. Otherwise, the receiver's capabilities are quite standard for this price group.

The main impression of the RX-V350 is the power and assertiveness of the sound. The built-in amplifiers confidently control even complex acoustics. The sound field is very smooth and absolutely seamless. Sometimes there is a certain harshness in the sound, typical for Yamaha "theatrical" components, but it is noticeable only on the musical material. When you watch movies you cannot complain about the sound - you get the impression that more expensive equipment is playing. A great receiver at a great price.
