Pros & Cons
Yamaha RX-V485
VSPros
- The possibility of using a two-amplified configuration.
- Voice control Amazon Alexa.
- Installation with ease.
- Wires are conveniently hidden in the front column.
Cons
- Remote feels a bit cheap, and the directional buttons are recessed enough, so it is very inconvenient.
Pioneer VSX-933
VSPros
- It maintains all audio formats. You do not have to spend a lot of time to find the appropriate file.
- Built-in Chromecast and DNS Play-Fi provide streaming music and internet radio from the mobile device.
- Stable Wi-Fi for wireless connection with any smartphones and laptops, as well as PC.
Cons
- Pay attention! If you want to buy this receiver because of the multi-zone feature, keep in mind that it is only compatible with the analog inputs. HDMI won’t help you use zone 2 function.
- In Zone 2 it works only on the RCA (analog) inputs but not HDMI or digital ones. So, to install speakers on the patio for accessing to satellite audio channels it is necessary to get DAC with the optical/coax outputs of the sat AV going in. Then you need to get RCA output going into the RCA inpu
