Yamaha's RX-V1800 home-theater receiver connects to your home audio system, iPod, television, VCR, DVD or Blu-ray player to provide surround sound while listening to music on phonograph records, tapes and CDs, or while watching movies and TV shows. It has an AM/FM tuner and features Dolby and THX processing. If the receiver is having a problem, or if its settings no longer serve your needs, you can reset it to the factory default settings.
