Helpful advice for those interested in the RX-V673
By Paul S. Remington
While others have delivered much praise for the Yamaha RX-V673 receiver, I wanted to build on their collective comments with my own findings. The intent is to share my experience with the hope it may help others make a decision on whether the RX-V673 is right for them.
In 1999 I purchased a Yamaha RX-V1000 receiver, which I've been very happy with for the last thirteen+ years. My wife and I recently purchased a new 60" Samsung flat screen television and I learned the advantages of utilizing the HDMI connection to the new television. One problem: my old RX-V1000 doesn't have HDMI connections because it's badly outdated. So I began researching receivers and, like my original search back in 1999, I found the features that I'm looking for and the quantity of favorable reviews all pointed me back to Yamaha.
So I purchased the RX-V673. When it arrived, I spent time setting it up, getting it configured, and exploring everything it had to offer. I now have educated experience and agree with the majority of reviews. This receiver is an outstanding piece of equipment that performs exceptionally well and has an amazing amount of features and capabilities.
With all that stated, I want to share some observations and advice I think might help others.
The best way to make use of this receiver is to be prepared to do some homework. You can pull it out of the box, plug a network cable in, and then attach all your components. When you fire it up, you'll probably find things will be working, but this is really just the start. The best way to utilize this receiver to its fullest extent is to become familiar with the documentation. The documentation is actually written well and does a good job of explaining all the features and customizations that can be made. I'm a technical writer by profession and found the documentation to be well thought out and easy to follow.
Be aware, the receiver does not come with printed documentation. Documentation is supplied on a CD with the receiver.
Before receiving the receiver, I'd suggest downloading two documents from the Yamaha website. (If you can't login to Yamaha's website, these documents can be located elsewhere on the Internet.) Go to Google and search for RX-V673. The first link should be the product page on Yamaha's website. Link this page, if you think you might be interested in purchasing the receiver. Click on the Support leaf and this will take you to a page with all the documentation. Download to your computer or tablet the following PDF documents:
- RX-V673 Owner's Manual
- RX-V673 Quick Guide
These two documents offer everything you'll need to get the receiver set up and configured. You'll also need a list of manufacturer codes to program your existing remote(s) into the Yamaha remote, but this is contained on the CD supplied with the receiver.
You'll want to have these documents ready when you install the receiver. I found it best to download them to my Kindle tablet. I reviewed the quick start guide first and spent an hour or so skimming the entire user manual. This made installing and configuring the receiver much easier. When the receiver came, I was already equipped with the documentation and familiar with the equipment setup and configuration.
If you have legacy equipment to connect to the receiver, the RX-V673 is generously stocked with inputs on the rear panel to accommodate many of these devices. This is something that made this receiver an advantage over others. The RX-V673 supports one optical input and many phono audio and video inputs. It does not support S-video inputs. I have three devices that need a phono audio and video connection. The receiver only supplies enough connectivity for two of these devices. Consider each device you'll want to connect to the receiver and review the available inputs to ensure the receiver has not only the connections to support each of your devices, but also the quantity of inputs you'll need.
If you have a turntable, the RX-V673 does not come with a phono preamp. You'll need to purchase one separately. Phono preamps are pretty cheap, unless you want a high-end, audiophile preamp. You can expect to pay between $25 and $50 for one, which plugs in line with your existing turntable phono plugs.
During the setup process, the RX-V673 utilizes a YPAO autocalibration feature using a supplied microphone. This works very well, although, for me, I found it helpful to rely on my own ears and walk through the audio calibration myself. This process is actually not difficult at all, once you get used to the GUI. The GUI displayed on the television is very easy and intuitive (in my opinion, I know others have said otherwise) and I had no problem fine tuning the settings made by the YPAO feature. You don't have to go this far. The YPAO feature does a fine job on its own and you can certainly rely solely on this, if you choose.
One of the features I found most striking was the net radio stations. I had no idea there were so many fantastic stations available. There are thousands in multiple genres. The audio quality is fantastic and accessing these stations is easy. I find while I watch TV, when a commercial comes on, I press the Net button on the remote, which switches me immediately to the last Internet radio station I was listening to. I can listen to a station I like while watching the television and wait for the commercial to end. When it ends, I press TV on the remote and it immediately switches me back to what I was watching. Pandora and other network audio applications are also available as are network audio servers I have configured on other computers. I have two other laptops and was stunned to see the receiver showed these as available immediately, without me even knowing I was able to access them. I was thrilled!
The remote supplied with the unit is a helpful companion, but not an effective way to manage other remotes. My old RX-V1000 had a much better remote that enabled me to collapse my other remotes into it. This remote doesn't allow that, so you'll either have to learn to live with multiple remotes or purchase a universal remote, such as a Logitech Harmony.
Yamaha supplies an excellent free app for the RX-V673 that works great on my Kindle. A similar app is also available for the Apple. The Kindle app can be found in the Amazon App Store under Yamaha AV Controller App. The app provides access to many of the features the remote manages and also unlocks a few more, such as bass and treble adjustments. This app isn't just a glorified remote, it provides powerful abilities from a remote location and its control over the receiver is instantaneous.
For example, the RX-V673 provides the ability to set up a zone 2 listening environment. I want to have speakers in my office/living area the floor below the living room where the receiver is installed. While in the lower level of my home, I can be in my office downstairs and use the Kindle to access the receiver and tell it to play music through zone 2. I can select a source, such as Net radio, music from my server, etc., and control this music while I'm downstairs. Keep in mind, this can be accomplished while someone is watching television or listening to music in zone 1 (the family room upstairs). The only limitation is that both zones cannot play a different Net radio, Pandora, or Rhapsody station at the same time. This is a very powerful feature. Without the app control on the Kindle, I'd have to walk upstairs to the family room, turn on the receiver, and get things set up for zone 2. The Kindle app works flawlessly! The GUI is great and it's easy to understand and operate.
From a sonic environment standpoint, Yamaha seems to have greatly enhanced the quality of sound in their integration of various acoustical environments. The RX-V673 comes equipped with multiple proprietary environments sampled from the original locations, such as The Bottom Line, Roxy Theatre, Vienna symphony hall, an athletic sports arena, and many more. My old Yamaha receiver had this, but its implementation wasn't so convincing, so I never used it. The RX-V673 *is* convincing--convincing enough that I used it to watch the AFC Championship game using the Sports setting. The entire room filled with the sound of the stadium with the commentator's voice pushed to only the center channel. I could hear people all around me. It was an amazing sonic experience. During commercials, I put on Net radio, which was preset to the Roxy Theatre setting, and it sounded fantastic.
This RX-V673 is so loaded with features and customizable settings, I'm finding new features and uses each time I sit down and explore its capabilities. Network AV receivers are certainly a thing of the present--a modern-day tool that has expanded its use as technology has evolved.
My advice is to do your homework on this receiver and you'll more easily be able to customize it to your liking. I've found its performance to be excellent and its features outstanding. It has allowed me to easily integrate my existing setup and has given me vision on how to expand my sonic enjoyment throughout my home (with a zone 2 setup and use of network streaming media utilizing Airplay). I couldn't be happier with my selection and heartily recommend it to anyone shopping for a network AV receiver.

please note: firmware update available Nov 2012
By Eric T
** For everyone mourning the loss of Pandora support on this generation of receivers, please note that Yamaha recently (Nov 2012) released a firmware update for the RX-V673 that enables Pandora / SiriusXM / Rhapsody & Napster music services.
I'm really satisfied with this receiver, it's very flexible with a ton of inputs, HDMI-CEC & HDMI-ARC support, Net radio + airplay + DLNA client. Everything works fine for me. The only thing it's missing is a headphone-style input jack for portable music players. To get audio from a headphone jack into this amp you'll need a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable and plug it into one of the rear RCA inputs.
Automatic sound setup through YPAO is great, it gives you a smooth balanced sound that you can fine-tune to your liking
I love the convenience of being able to control it through my android phone, or through the TV remote when it's on that input, or even having (limited) control through the receiver's own web interface. Often I'm surfing the web and I want to turn the volume up / down / mute / turn the amp on or off without a remote nearby. All I have to do is open the amp's IP (I have a shortcut to it in my browser favorites) on my laptop and boom, controls are right there. Awesome.

Great receiver, especially for someone new to home theater receivers
By parot 161
I haven't tried out everything on this receiver, but I have used most features. Here are some great things about this receiver:
* The app for the ipod touch, ipad and iphone is great. Very easy to use. Using this app is the best way to use the receiver's Pandora feature without going through my t.v. or an external device (such as a blu-ray player) because I get good album artwork on the screen of my iPod Touch. The Airplay app can control bass, treble, volume, elevate voice levels (useful for movies), and other features. Best of all, I can be anywhere in my house and control these features (skip songs, raise and lower the volume, etc.) as long as I am connected to the same network that my Yamaha receiver is connected to. The app also allows you to choose the source. There are a large number of source choices including several hdmi inputs, a server input, an Airplay input, and Pandora/Rhapsody, etc. The app also gives me the ability to control zone 1 and zone 2 independently. For example, my receiver is upstairs in my house. I can be downstairs and turn off zone 1 (upstairs speakers) and turn on zone 2 (downstairs speakers) and do it with the Yamaha Apple app out of direct line of site of the receiver.
* Firmware update: I took the receiver out of the box, connected it via an ethernet cable to my network, turned it on and after a short time it notified me that it needed an update. The update went smoothly and was trouble-free.
* Zone 1 and zone 2 functionality: Having these zones allows the user to listen to one thing on the "main" speakers (zone 1), and the same thing (or something entirely different) on the "secondary" (zone 2) speakers. If you are trying to decide between the Yamaha 473 and the Yamaha 673, consider that the 473 does NOT have zone 1 and zone 2 functionality. Having zone 1 and zone 2 functionality is useful because it allows me to crank my music up in the basement and turn it off upstairs. Or, one person can watch a blu-ray movie on the zone 1 speakers upstairs, and I can listen to Pandora or Grooveshark on the zone two speakers in the basement. There is one limitation to the zone 1 and zone 2 functionality. You cannot stream two different receiver-based internet services at the same time. For example, you cannot stream Rhapsody in zone 1 and Pandora in zone 2 at the same time. Otherwise, the zone functionality works great, as long as both sources aren't receiver-originated internet streaming-based at the same time.
* Dialogue sync (or delay) is easy to adjust. I am running the sound from my Samsung blu-ray player through the Yamaha 673. I noticed when watching a movie on dvd that the sound was slightly out of sync. When people in the film started speaking their mouths kept moving after their audible words stopped. I just pressed a few buttons on the Yamaha remote and the dialogue synced great.
* Easy to use interface for set-up and adjustments: I am new to home theater (my previous receiver was a twenty something year old Onkyo stereo receiver), so an easy to use interface was important. The set-up interface through my t.v. was simple and generally intuitive. There are a few minor exceptions (should speakers be set to "small" or "large", for example) but these exceptions are few, and, in the case of small and large speaker settings, not a fault of Yamaha. It is the way speakers are referred to in all home theater set-ups. There are Youtube videos that can tell you all about "small" vs. "large" speaker settings and give recommendations for how to set yours.
* Sounds great! Blu-rays sound amazing and I've only got a four-speaker set-up. During movies sounds are clear, concise, well-balanced and separated. During Jurassic Park sounds were coming from all around on my four speaker system (with no subwoofer) and were placed appropriately with the on-screen action. Streaming media such as Pandora sounds good to. Not as good as blu-ray, of course, but plenty fine considering the bit rate and the source. The "enhancer" feature makes a modest improvement to the sound of low bit-rate sources such as Pandora, but don't expect a huge improvement with it. Overall, Pandora-type sources sound fine. Grooveshark using the Airplay feature can be a little flaky, occasionally getting a little "fuzzy", but that is Grooveshark's fault because I haven't had that problem at all with Pandora. I don't think that the qualtiy is very high on many Grooveshark files. A song that really plays up the four (or more) speaker separation using the "7 channel stereo" mix available on the receiver is the Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love 12" version". Nice.
* Airplay: Airplay works great with subscription services such as Pandora. Again, Grooveshark (one of my favorite internet music sources) can be a little flaky. But, to be fair, the receiver wasn't designed with Grooveshark as a "native" Airplay app. No Airplay video streaming, though, and definitely no mirroring of your idevice available through the receivers built-in Airplay feature, which was a bummer.
A few things that need improvement and/or to consider before you buy:
* Remote: The remote isn't as clear as it could be. Not horrible, but there is at least one button that seems to duplicate another button's functions for no particular reason that I can see. Sometimes you have to turn on the t.v. to be able to see certain menu items as you use the remote. For several settings and functions, if you don't turn the t.v. on, using the included remote can be very challenging if not impossible.
Using the Apple Yamaha app usually fixes this problem and thankfully keeps me from having to use the supplied Yamaha remote very often (the exception being if I want to access a seldom-used menu item such as speaker size). If you own a Harmony One remote be aware that all of the features of this receiver do not show up on it. So, if you choose to buy this receiver and you own a Harmony One remote, be prepared to keep the original receiver remote handy, at least until you "teach" your Harmony One remote all of the keys it needs.
I have the Yamaha receiver app on my ipod touch, a Harmony One remote, and the original remote that came with the receiver, and I keep all three at hand. The remote situation is definitely not a deal-breaker, though. I use my Harmony One remote with the receiver for watching blu-rays and streaming video from my blu-ray player's apps (such as Netflix and Vudu) because I can turn on the t.v., the receiver and the blu-ray player with the touch of one button on the Harmony One remote. I use the Yamaha receiver app on my iPod Touch for streaming Pandora and Grooveshark (leaving my tv off). I use the original supplied Yamaha remote very rarely (for making the odd adjustment to a speaker setting, for example).
* Even though I have it set to pass through the video signal (without processing), the receiver still messes with my t.v. settings sometimes when I turn them both on. For some reason, when I turn on the receiver sometimes my t.v. will flip to a different brightness, contrast, and backlight setting than I had it on. This did not happen to my t.v. settings before I got the receiver, connected it to my t.v., and started passing my blu-ray player through it. However, this may be related to some setting that I need to tweak. It doesn't happen all of the time, just often enough to be slightly annoying, and I'm not ready to pin the problem on the receiver just yet.
* Minimally processed sound using the "pure direct" function will only occur through the front left and right speakers. On my old Onkyo, stereo would come through the front two speakers and the back two speakers. To get the Yamaha receiver to play sound from the front two speakers and the back two speakers you have to use the "7 channel stereo" setting. It sounds great, but there's probably no denying that it's a more processed sound that might not be for everybody, especially true two-channel stereo enthusiasts. It would be nice if the "pure direct" setting produced two-channel stereo sound out of all four "main" speakers.
* The Yamaha receiver t.v. interface for Pandora and other streaming media is not anything to write home about. Do not expect a cutting-edge user interface on your t.v. screen for these services. After a handful of sessions using the built-in Yamaha receiver Pandora interface on my t.v. screen, I went back to Pandora on my blu-ray player and passed it through the Yamaha 673 whenever I want to see Pandora on my t.v. screen. Or, I used the Yamaha receiver app for Pandora on my iPod Touch if I did not want to see Pandora on my t.v. screen.
The Yamaha receiver Pandora t.v. interface worked fine, but it was very plain to look at compared to Pandora sent from my blu-ray player or iPod Touch. Plus, my t.v. didn't want to go into screen saver mode when I used the Yamaha receiver's built-in Pandora on my t.v. and I was afraid of burn-in.
A much better choice than using the receiver's built-in Pandora interface (if you want fancy graphics and the best usability) is to use an external device (such as an Apple t.v. box or a blu-ray player that streams web content) and pass it through the receiver.
If you have no need to see Pandora album art or station listings on your t.v. (you want to leave your t.v. off), use the Yamaha receiver app for the iPod. It is a great app for listening to Pandora from your receiver while leaving your t.v. off.
My current speaker set-up:
Currently, I do not have a center channel speaker or a subwoofer, so my Yamaha receiver is connected to four speakers (one front left, one front right, one back left, one back right). The receiver's speaker set-up configuration is very customizable. Using the t.v. interface menu you can easily tell the receiver which speakers you are using and which speakers you are not using. Since I am only using four speakers, as I understand it, the receiver makes adjustments for the "missing" center channel and "missing" subwoofer. All I know is, it sounds great even with just the four speakers. Things that happen on the screen are placed appropriately (to me, anyway) in the sound field. Dialogue is clear and well-placed. However, I may add a center channel speaker and subwoofer at a later date as cash-flow allows.
Overall so far: This is a great receiver offering a lot of features for a reasonable price. I've had it for several months now and still haven't used all of the features. Although the home theater learning curve for me has been a little steep (being new to it), the Yamaha 673 made it as easy as it could be with an easy to use set-up interface, a great receiver app for my ipod, and clearly-labeled inputs. Youtube videos on home theater set-up were a big help, too.

4K Pass-Through and Upscaling Supports Latest High Resolution Video Formats
This AV receiver provides advanced HDMI features including 4K pass-through. 4K refers to four times the resolution of a 1080p display. While not yet available, 4K displays and sources are sure to become popular in the future. This receiver is capable of passing the 4K data from the source to the display, for image clarity far beyond present standards. It also can perform 4K upscaling to boost a lower resolution image to super high-def resolution. This ensures compatibility with the latest super high resolution video formats.
HDMI with 3D and Audio Return Channel
3D means the receiver can handle 3D signal data. The Audio Return Channel function enables data to be sent and received via the same HDMI cable, so you can hear the sound from the TV via a single HDMI cable, with no need for an extra optical cable.
High Quality Video Processing with Edge Adaptive Deinterlacing
In ordinary deinterlacing, pixels in areas of movement are interpolated by upper and lower ranges. This causes jaggies in diagonal lines. Edge adaptive deinterlacing detects the direction of the line and interpolates the pixels optimally.
Network Functions
This AV receiver provides a variety of network functions that enable you to access more sources and also enhance operation. You can connect the receiver to a PC to enjoy Internet Radio and operate your system via Web Browser Control. The AV Controller app (from Amazon App Store, iTunes App Store or Android Market) lets you control various functions from your Kindle Fire, iPod, iPhone, iPad or Android device.
AV Controller App for Easy, Convenient Operation
This AV Receiver lets you use the Yamaha AV Controller app that is downloadable from the Amazon App Store, iTunes App Store or Android Market to control power on/off and volume, select input and DSP modes and operate other functions from your Kindle Fire, iPod, iPhone, iPad or Android device. A tablet version is also available.
Control your Yamaha Network Receiver with Free Kindle Fire App
With a Yamaha network receiver you can now control your music and media with our new app designed specifically for the #1 product on Amazon, the Kindle Fire. This application is FREE, and available for download on the Amazon App Store for Kindle Fire and other Android devices. Click here to check out the Kindle App for Yamaha Network Receivers.
AirPlay Allows Streaming Music to AV Receiver
This AV receiver supports AirPlay, which means they can accept wireless music streaming from iPod touch, iPhone or iPad, as well as from iTunes on Macs or PCs. This makes it easy to enjoy music from your mobile devices or computer on your home theater system. You can use view metadata such as song title, artist name as well as album art* via AV receiver's on-screen display. *Some models don't support album art display.
YPAO-R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) Sound Optimization
YPAO-R.S.C. analyzes room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound. It employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound. It also provides DSP Effect Normalization, which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds.
USB Digital Connection for iPod, iPhone and iPad on the Front Panel
A USB port on the front panel allows convenient connection of an iPod/iPhone/iPad, which also charges when connected. Because the digital signal from the iPod/iPhone/iPad is transmitted directly to the AV receiver, there is no signal loss or interference, so you enjoy the best possible sound quality. In addition, you can use the receiver’s remote control unit to operate the iPod/iPhone/iPad music playback functions.
Advanced Multi-Language GUI On-Screen Display
Yamaha’s latest Graphical User Interface has a high resolution display with clear, easy-to-use menus and also includes a selectable Status Bar that shows input source, volume level, DSP mode and audio format. The GUI provides a choice of seven languages: English, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Chinese, and can be displayed over both normal and 3D pictures.
Intelligent Amp Assign
Intelligent Amp Assign automatically assigns amplifier channels to certain speakers, depending on what functions are selected. For example, in a 7.2-channel system, when Zone 2 is off, all 7.1 channels will be used in the Main Zone. However, when Zone 2 is on, power to the two Surround Back channels will be directed to the two speakers and sub in Zone 2, and the Main Zone will receive 5.1 channels of power. Similarly, when CINEMA DSP 3D is on, the two Front Presence speakers will be powered and not the two Surround Back speakers. When CINEMA DSP 3D is off, this situation is reversed. Thanks to Intelligent Amp Assign, there’s no need to switch the speaker cables on the rear of the receiver—one more way Yamaha makes your life a little easier.
SCENE for One-Touch Start
Pressing a SCENE button powers on the AV Receiver and selects the input source and DSP mode. You can re-set the buttons for different sources by selecting a source and DSP mode, then pressing a SCENE button for more than three seconds.
HDMI Front Panel Input
In addition to the large number of HDMI inputs on the rear panel, there is also one on the front panel. This gives you a convenient way to quickly plug in a digital camera or camcorder for highest quality pictures.
Input Selection in HDMI Standby Through Mode
When the AV receiver is in HDMI Standby Through mode, the input source (Blu-ray™ Disc player, game console, etc.) for viewing on the monitor can be changed via the remote control. There’s no need to turn on the AV receiver in order to switch sources.
Compressed Music Enhancer
When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. Yamaha’s Compressed Music Enhancer employs sophisticated digital signal processing using exclusive algorithms to restore what was lost, so the music always sounds the way it should.
HDMI CEC for Easy Operation
Another benefit of HDMI is the availability of CEC functionality. When the unit is connected to a CEC compatible TV, it will turn on and off together with the TV, and you can use the TV remote to control the volume. CEC also provides advanced functionality with other components. For example, you can use the receiver’s remote unit to control player functions like Skip and Stop. *All connected devices must be HDMI CEC compatible. Some CEC compatible TVs/players may not work.
HD Audio with CINEMA DSP 3D and Virtual Presence Speaker
CINEMA DSP 3D provides a wide, high and dense sound field. HD Audio format decoding lets you enjoy HD Audio sources. Virtual Presence Speaker delivers 3-dimensional sound without actual use of presence speakers.
HDMI CEC for Easy Operation
Another benefit of HDMI is the availability of CEC functionality. When the unit is connected to a CEC compatible TV, it will turn on and off together with the TV, and you can use the TV remote to control the volume. CEC also provides advanced functionality with other components. For example, you can use the receiver’s remote unit to control player functions like Skip and Stop. *All connected devices must be HDMI CEC compatible. Some CEC compatible TVs/players may not work.
Dialogue Lift and Dialogue Level Adjustment for natural dialogue and vocals
Dialogue Lift raises the sound of dialogue from the center speaker to a position in the center of the screen. Newly developed virtual dialogue lift achieves dialogue lift function even without the need for presence speakers. Dialogue Level Adjustment lets you control the volume of the vocal sound, so you hear movie dialogue and music vocals at the ideal level for clear, comfortable listening.
ECO mode lowers power consumption by 20%*
Yamaha’s new ECO mode reduces power consumption by about 20%. It can be set from the top of the GUI menu.
* Compared to power consumption when ECO mode is off (Yamaha measurement).
Selectable Auto Power Down
Auto Power Down lets you save energy by selecting to turn off the power after 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours.
* Compared to power consumption when ECO mode is off (Yamaha measurement).
Low Standby Power Consumption
Yamaha makes its receivers with a low standby power consumption of 0.1W in IR Standby mode (1W in HDMI Standby Through mode, 2W in Network Standby mode).
