Earlier today, we reported on the Amazon Soundbar Plus deals wherein both the 3.1 system as well as the 5.1 system are currently at their lowest prices they have ever hit. Check them out in this dedicated article here.
However not everyone likes the all in one package that soundbars deliver as they desire better audio quality output from systems consisting of an AVR (AV Receiver) setup and dedicated different speaker systems. That is where the YAMAHA RX-V385 can come in as it is a 5.1 channel AVR that is currently at a very good price thanks to a coupon (purchase link down below).
Right out of the box, the RX-V385 supports full 4K Ultra HD video with HDR formats like Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG). Thus your movies and shows should look as good as they sound due to the richer contrast and more vibrant colors on offer with such technologies.
Yamaha also bakes in its CINEMA DSP processing which is said to transform your living room in a way such that it mimics the ambience of a concert hall or theater.
Setup is usually the pain point with receivers, but here you get YPAO (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer) the firm"s in-house room correction and callibration system. The technical specifications of the Yamaha RX-V385 are given in the table below:
