Introduction

There has been a huge boom, over the last few years, in the number of devices for your A/V system that stream or play music. These devices include many things, from gaming consoles like the Xbox 360 to standalone boxes such as Yamaha's own MCX-2000. In the past year, we have been seeing these types of features creep into traditional consumer electronics components, such as Blu-Ray players and A/V Receivers. The Yamaha RX-V3900 is one such component. Yamaha really took a big step forward with this receiver, offering several ways to access your digital music collection. In addition to that, there are a multitude of other outlets for content you can access directly on this receiver, making it almost more of an entertainment hub.

Still, the RX-V3900 is a true home theater receiver at its core, and has plenty of great traditional receiver features as well. With all of these new features packed into the RX-V3900, would Yamaha maintain a high level of quality as well?
