I got this to replace my old (ancient) Yamaha unit, which still works, but is not digital. I also got this from the Amazon warehouse as "Like New" and it was $70 cheaper, so naturallu I was on my guard.
It seemed like the only thing was the box was opened once. Everything else was factory. Instructions were very easy to follow. I did not variations to make it easier, and better for me. I used optic cable and use this for connect audio only from my 4KUHD QLED Samsung. My Video HDMI's run directly from DVR and my 4K Disc player to the TV. This works well, and why not? It has 4 HDMI inputs on my TV, so I used them. The sound is flawless. My present set up. 2 front, 2 surround, a center channel, and a powered subwoofer. Easy to set up, but my big fingers had thee usal problems hooking ip my speakers. The FM and AM antenna assemblies are no issue. The microphone worked great in setting the sounds right and setup of the speakers.
So far in the first week no issue at all, sounds great. Also, you can either use WIFI or a direct link. WIFI is tougher to set up, but no different then my TV or laptops. It is much easier to just do a direct plug in, which I did.
I did link it (bluetooth) to my players, and that is neat also. I primarily still used my bluetooth/TV setup. It is just easier for me.. I have not yet figured out how Alexa can be saet up, since my Alexa Apps do not recognize it. I have not gone into it yet though.
I am not a "super expert tech master", just a guy from the seventies who remembers how to set stuff up. The main difference is setting up WIFI and such. I am also going to add two "presence" speakers to the front set, but must wait on speaker wire. Also make sure you have the right type of speaker wire. It makes it MUCH easier.
I think I got lucky so far.
UPDATED, as of 9/22 The receiver still working great and I continue to learn about it's capabilities. Pared with my 65" 4K OLED, and using 7:2 sound mode watching Football, what can I say. Then watching a Springsteen in Barcalona concert, excellent. Well satisfied with a "refurbished" unit saving over a third at the time.

Still my GOTO receiver choice going on 3 years now
This is my second Yamaha Receiver and I am still a big fan of Yamaha AV receivers. From my experience and reading reviews and forums a big issue with AV receivers these days seem to be managing HDMI connections. Onkyo receivers while rated one step higher than Yamaha from my research have issues with HDMI. I have an older 720P HDMI Plasma with pre HDMI 1.2 compliance and it had big issues with syncing over HDMI with my TV. There are a number of forums out there covering this issue with several of these receivers. My last Yamaha Receiver after 3 years of operation started having issues with switching HDMI inputs and the reason for this purchase. While I wish I did not have to make this purchase I was happy with its performance and local and online internet connectivity with Spotify, NAS, NET Radio, AirPlay, Bluetooth, Apple TV, Fire TV, and Blu-ray device I have. I have a 7.1 Polk speaker setup and sounds great. Easy to use controls and excellent iOS app for my iPhone with extensive amount of control functions. Great integration with Logitech Harmony Hub and Alexa. No THX in this unit but not sure I will miss that with a 5.1 setup. This receiver does support 7.2 and a second zone as well as Dolby Atmos if I want to go that route in future. Standby power option is a must if you stream music from phone and want the receiver to come on when you start playing a music selection. Onkyo phone app was not as extensive as the Yamaha app I use. [Update 1/25/2020]: Added 2 side speakers for 7.1 setup and still performs well. For entertaining the instant on and streaming music from Spotify and NAS is easy and soundstage is great even in a small apartment.
