My receiver died last week and I noticed the previous deal at $195 had expired on the Harvey Norman website. I checked a catalogue I received today and noticed it had been listed as a special again, however, $10 cheaper. I am going to attempt to pick one up this afternoon.

Offering pure enjoyment for the home entertainment enthusiast, the Yamaha HTR-2071 5.1 Channel AV Receiver features high-fidelity sound, 4K Ultra HD support, and Virtual CINEMA FRONT to help you hear and see your favourite multimedia content from abroad, new horizon.

Key Features

5-channel speaker setup outputs superb audio backed by thumping bass and crisp lows
Dialogue Level Adjustment for proper sound balance with dialogue and vocals
ECO mode operation facilitates up to 20% less power consumption
Multi-language colour OSD with cover art display

What's In The Box?

1x Main Unit
1x FM Antenna
1x Remote Control
2x Batteries (AAA, R03, UM-4)
1x CD-ROM (Owner's Manual)
1x Quick Start Guide

Edit: It’s listed as $449 at Joyce Mayne currently. I suspect as with the last deal both bing lee and Joyce Mayne will lower their price to match.

    Great reviews on this. We just moved house and have a second TV/family room. Thanks OP! Grabbed one.

    :)

  • Lps on 11/02/2020 - 13:49

    Really? you can get a decent AV receiver at this price?

    • Simon Wright on 11/02/2020 - 21:13

      If you just need to connect some speakers and you don't need any particular features, it's fine. I wouldn't call it decent, but it's certainly outstanding value. Of course if you're playing in this price range, you might be better off looking for a second hand bargain.

      • Ulysses31 on 11/02/2020 - 22:13

        Good info, thanks.

        I'm looking for upgraded bang for buck multi room sound, with chromecast audio.

        Looked at 9,or even 11 channel receivers… Kill two birds etc. But the cost is crazy

  • jabroni on 11/02/2020 - 14:10

    can this work outdoors in a shaded entertainment area or will dust kill it eventually?

    • Mechz on 11/02/2020 - 14:31

      Should last a while, depends how much dust.

    • ozhunter68 on 11/02/2020 - 17:23

      Can easily cover the top with something, as long as it can vent for extraction of hot air.

      • jabroni on 11/02/2020 - 17:57

        yeah i could cover the top with something but just concerned if heat will then become the biggest issue on a hot WA summer day [ 35+ degrees]

        • ozhunter68 on 11/02/2020 - 18:35

          Just leave a 1cm gap like a raised shelf.

    Grabbed one, have been looking for something that supports 4K to replace an older Yamaha model with. Thanks op!

    • CalmLemons on 11/02/2020 - 19:59

      what? does 4k apply to audio? thought that was just resolution for tv.

      • Super King on 11/02/2020 - 22:37
        +4

        4k resolution pass through, so you can plug all your devices into the receiver it will pass the 4k picture to your TV while the receiver handles the sound.

  • revheadgl on 11/02/2020 - 14:27

    I believe this is the same spec as the RXV-385 but with the addition of a powered sub out to run a passive sub if you choose.

    • b2dz on 11/02/2020 - 14:36

      According to specs,

      Preout: SW

      I don't see anything in there that states it has a powered sub channel.

      • narcoleptic-haze on 11/02/2020 - 15:11
        +2

        Yeah it does actually. These HTR amps all come from the amp & speaker packs that Yamaha do which usually have passive subs so they almost always have both a sub pre-out and a powered output.

        Back image: https://www.audissey.lk/uploads/1/5/0/9/15091172/htr-2071-re…

        Compared with the RX-V385 though, this one also lacks Bluetooth, USB, and 3.5mm Aux input on the front.

        Pic here.

        https://www.customht.com.au/products/yht-1840

        Click on the pic of the rear, zoom in, clearly shows powered sub out as well as sub pre out. Model number HTR-2071 is clearly visible.

        These were also sold as part of the base model home theatre package, YHT-1840.

    • hazzad on 11/02/2020 - 18:30

      This also doesnt mention support for Dolby vision. Can anyone confirm if that's the case. Full specs on these amps arent easy to come by.

  • dynaflow on 11/02/2020 - 15:18

    —- 70 W per Channel (6 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.09% THD, 2-ch driven)
    —- 100 W per Channel (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.9% THD, 1-ch driven)
    —- 135 W per Channel (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD, 1-ch driven)

    Re the above,why are specs published "into 6 ohms" and not the traditional "into 8 ohms"?
    …and while I'm at it…RMS per channel and not simply something like the above "70w."?

    • haytona on 11/02/2020 - 19:40

      My understanding is the htr range are measured differently to compete with more mass market receivers

    • 3v3rqu357 on 12/02/2020 - 01:36

      Yeah I noticed that too. Guesstimate for 8 ohms about 40-50 W on 2-ch driven. Not great, but not bad for the $

      • Ulysses31 on 19/02/2020 - 22:14

        Not better off ($) running a car amp, for 2 channel?

  • K1ngJony on 11/02/2020 - 16:26

    Thank OP. Snatched one up as our amp is about to kick the bucket too.
    HN didn't even have the price in their system in store when I called up. They were surprised at how cheap it was.

  • Pixie13 on 11/02/2020 - 16:48

    N00b question, would the receiver be better than pioneer vsx-818v?

  • ozone141 on 11/02/2020 - 16:55

    I'm new to AV receivers as well: Whats a good speaker set to buy with this one? Or Should I go second hand? what specs do I look for?

      go second hand

      • ozone141 on 11/02/2020 - 19:02

        Whats things should I look at when going second hand? I have 2 speakers which I got with my Denon AVR 1912 7.1 (9yr old receiver) which I was recently got. I thinking I need to get a subwoofer at least? Any Tips TA

          That the owners haven’t done a Marty MacFly.

  • Palamedes on 11/02/2020 - 21:46

    Seeing this sort of price for a recent Yamaha (even a cheap one) makes me realize why selling old amps & receivers has tanked on Gumtree and other places the last few years. Those old few shed amps I hoped to sell, no way!

  • EnALup on 11/02/2020 - 22:34

    My Home theatre Receiver Rx-v1079 is starting to have issues ( not sure if it is the AV or something else) like screen on screen keeps going out or sometimes has lot of noise. Have 5.1 setup with projector and thinking if I can use this one for testing testing or no point in downgrading that much?
    Have Paradigm Monitor 11 tower speakers, Centre 1 and Paradigm ultra cube sub 12 (650 w).
    Has anyone used this receiver with bigger speakers?

  • ChaLuo on 11/02/2020 - 22:56

    Which budget speakers to go with

    • wabbajacked on 15/02/2020 - 09:24

      Maybe the Voll B50s? Was thinking of getting those.

  • 600dollarman on 12/02/2020 - 11:52

    I bought one at $195 a couple of weeks ago as my other one died. It does the job nicely and is perfect for a small to medium room.

    With HDMI 2.1 on the horizon it's a bad time to be spending over $1000 on a new Atmos receiver, so this will do until the 2020 models come out. The only thing I wish it had was component inputs for my OG Xbox. This is as bare bones as it gets, lacking modern network features and older analogue inputs around back, but I still prefer this over a soundbar.

  • ickyboo on 13/02/2020 - 13:54

    These have issues with 4K 60hz especially with HDR and no USB means you can't update the firmware. I've got one.

    • Selenium on 24/02/2020 - 09:12

      Out of curiosity, what sort of issues?

  • Zaenille on 13/02/2020 - 18:10

    VERY tempted. I've been trying to sell my 7.1 speakers sold to me for cheap by a friend but haven't really been using them. Maybe it's time to buy this and try it out. (letting go of the two excess speakers but I'm fine with that. 7.1 AV receivers are expensive)
