Worthy upgrade, 4K HDR pass thru works. Intuitive controls.
Finally. This solved my 4K pass through challenges from previous products. I owned a 4K30 unit from Sony that was not HDCP2.2 compliant, and this has been the bane of my experience as an early adopter of 4K two years ago. Those days are over. I am able to run 4K60 directly to my JVC projector including BT.2020 color and HDR. This product meets expectations and then some, although I have not yet tested all features I have spot checked most of them. It does run hot. I measured the top surface with a Fluke 289 meter and thermocouple over a couple hours' use and it reached 102F in an open-back cabinet, although it did not warn or shut down. I therefore have added a fan unit on top to draw air through the chassis, an AC infinity T8. This does the job, even on the lowest fan setting, keeping its average temp below 95F using an 85F threshold value. I have not seen any Bluetooth issues as was mentioned, running Amazon Music over my iPhone6s. I also tested the direct WiFi streaming on Amazon and it works. Firmware update was easy over direct Ethernet. It is nice that the preamps still provide signal boost. I have not yet tried the microphone calibration but I think this will be helpful. The test tone feature is nice to test surround and Atmos setup. I am running the 7.2.4 with front ext. amplification, with the surround back disabled, so there is some customization possible. Each speaker level can be adjusted up to +10dB. I am neutral on the AI feature so far as I like to customize, but it does appear to decode quickly. The only glitch I noticed so far was the setup menu blacked out a couple of times during playback but this does not appear during normal playback so it may be something in the software.

Excellent Receiver
The 3080 met all my expectations - sound quality, configuration flexibility, and value. Separates vs 3080. I landed on Bryston amp for my mains and paired with the 3080. I found they work together nicely as combo for for 2 ch and 7.1 ch - audio, 7.1 movies or SACDs. I also use the multizone to send music outdoors and patio room. The remote control app over wifi works flawlessly for me. So very satisfied with my purchase. The Yamaha 3080 is a hidden gem. I did my my research.

I'm a believer in Yamaha now...
After many years of previous receivers failing on me due mechanical failure, of one or the other, it was time to find me a receiver that I would enjoy as home theater receiver along with enjoying music and listening to my vinyl collection.
I shy away from Yamaha receivers for quite sometime, until a friend of mine own a Yamaha receiver set up. He had Yamaha DVD player then he later upgraded to Blue Ray, but didn't upgrade his receiver, it still sounded awesome.
I waited a bit longer, until Yamaha came out with the Advantage line up and research everything about it and compared it with other receivers and Yamaha won me over with what their receivers has to offer.
Once I hooked it up and ran the system through, I was just blown away about the 3D sound field it produces. Unlike the other receivers I own, they got too warm or too hot, (some had internal fans to cool, and they failed.) This receiver didn't warm too much even at high volume.
Overall, best receiver I've own so far.

System needs an internal fan
I experienced a Yamaha RX-A3010, for 8 year, and was very happy with what it was capable of. Unfortunately I believe it overheated and stopped working. I researched the most popular AV Receivers available, and found the Yamaha RX-A3080 had everything I wanted (including the sound capability (11.2 speaker + watts, zone options), newest technologies (ATMOS sound, Bluetooth / WiFI). I also like the new setup menu that includes detailed explanations.

My only concern is: AV Receivers heat up, which can cause circuitry failure. For the price of this receiver, Yamaha needs to incorporate a cooling fan system within the unit to help reduce the heat generated by the circuity .

NOTHING COMPARES!
I became a Yamaha fan after years of trial & error.
Over my 30 years or so of Home Theater hobbying
many a' surround AV receiver has graced my livingroom.
Listen, from Sony, JVC (yes back in the 80's), RCA, Panasonic,
Denon, etc.. you get the point, none delivered that 3D sound like Yamaha.
None!
Moreover, Yamaha delivers that 3D sound even in their entry level AVR's.
Not to mention, "all" units can drive Ohm loads that will overheat other
AV receivers ala' Onkyo for example.
If you're an Onkyo owner you know what I mean.
The Onkyo AV receivers get HOT!
That shortens the life of the AVR.
Entry level Yamaha receivers never get hot.
They decode & deliver surround sound with realism
without breaking a sweat or getting hot.
Check this out?
I know this Yamaha AVR boasts SABRE D.A.C.s, but, their
lesser or cheaper models use Burr-Brown D.A.C.s for the
digital to analog sound conversion.
Burr-Brown D.A.C.s are 2nd to none & Yamaha uses them
in even their entry level models.
That's quality my friends.
I cannot tell you enough at how superior Burr-Brown is to
other D.A.C.s that other Manufacturers use.
Yes, the D.A.C does make a huge difference in both 2,0 stereo
and surround sound performance.
So, Yamaha doesn't wimp out in any way in any of their AV receivers.
After years of learning my lessons, I'll only buy Yamaha AVRs.
When I throw in a Blu Ray or stream a Netflix film, I wanna hear & feel
that "3D sound" I experienced at the Cinema.
Yamaha is the only brand that has ever delivered that
"make ya' duck" when a bullet whizzes by kind of surround sound.
No doubt in my mind, if you want true "Dolby Surround" then Yamaha
is the only receiver you should employ in your system.
Well, that's my 2 cents.
It's up to you now to pull the trigger and step into the "real world"
of digital surround sound.
~ peace

Amazing, was worth the wait!
I came from the 2070, due to a few more upgrades. Was waiting and waiting for this. I could not be more happy with my purchase. As well as the quality Yamaha continues to pump out. I actually tried a few other brands in between the wait, nothing compares. And the Yamaha remote app is the best on the market. Sound quality is worth every penny!
