In terms of specs, this model is most similar to the RX-A780, not the RX-V685.

The differences that I can see between the TSR-7850 and the RX-A780 are as follows:
7850 does not have a middle foot
7850 has a 2-year versus a 3-year warranty
7850 has a fixed power cord versus a removable one in the RX-A780
Note some who have purchased the 7850 report that the 7850 does indeed have a detachable power cord. This is in contrast to the image of the rear panel on the Yamaha website.

Hi, not sure if you're aware, but soundbars are really a receiver and speaker in one. The soundbars have HDMI inputs that you plug your TV and components directly into, bypassing a receiver. So if you're set on getting a soundbar, you really don't need a receiver.

Soundbars usually have less HDMI inputs than a receiver. If you need more inputs, you may need an HDMI switcher, which will give you extra HDMI inputs.

Or, if your TV is newer, it usually has a function called ARC. This basically makes the HDMI connection between your TV and soundbar (soundbar needs to have ARC as well, which most soundbars do) two way. So your TV can feed sound to the soundbar through the HDMI connection while the soundbar feeds video to the TV through the same HDMI connection.

For example, in my living room, I have an LG SK9Y soundbar. The soundbar has two HDMI inputs. For input 2, I have my TV connected to my soundbar. For input 1, I have my 4k blu-ray player connected to the soundbar.

I have my apple 4K tv player, TIVO, and nintendo Wii connected to my TV.

When I watch tv using my apple 4K TV player, TIVO, or Wii, the soundbar is on Input 2. So the TV is feeding sound to the soundbar.

When I watch TV using my 4K blu-ray player, the soundbar is on Input 1. So the soundbar is feeding video to the TV since the 4K Blu-Ray player is feeding sound directly to the soundbar.

Please be aware that if you are feeding sound from the TV to the soundbar, it usually is compressed sound, so it may not be able to play Atmos.

For example, my TV is feeding sound from my Apple 4K TV to the soundbar. So I can't get Atmos sound. I would have to plug my Apple 4K TV to the HDMI 1 input of my soundbar and have the soundbar feed the video to my TV. That way I get Atmos sound since the Apple TV is feeding sound directly to the soundbar.

I bought the V683 for $299 from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. They have it for $329 now. I have t opened it it. Any thoughts on comparison?

Dang, I just bought the Denon AVR-S740H (Wirecutter's upcoming runner up from OP's link) for $325. I wonder if it would've been better to get this deal, since the retailer is Costco.

A friend is asking me if he should pull the trigger. I like Yamaha and Denon so I am certain sound won't be an issue. However

from the limited pictures on Costco I am guessing this can any of you correct me?

5 rear hdmi inputs (only 3 are HDR? )
No preamps out except for subs?
Zone 2 is line out for analog only and not digital content.

TIA

This is by far the best deal out there for receivers, period. High power with all the features and it's comparable to Denon avr-3400x. The Denon's has more HDMI inputs but this one has 5. Plenty. It's also backed by Costco's return policy.

685 has only 5 HDMI inputs, but two HDMI outputs (683 has 6/1)
685 has slightly lower THD (harmonic dissonance)

685 has alexa support for changing volume etc (You can do this for 683 via Harmony skill if you have it)

Can't see any other major differences

Where do you see that only 3 are HDR, I didn't find this info on Yamaha or other websites, please share.

The other points look to be correct to me, apologies I'm not looking for those features myself so I didn't look in detail
