    • Solid 2 Zone Receiver / Amplifier - Excellent video and Audio
I purchased this Yamaha to replace the 10YO previous version that no longer decoded SiriusXM. This new clean front panel design and much improved remote control are easy to use once installed. I have to say the only complexity I have run into is connecting 3 smart devices together - NVIDIA Shield PRO Streaming Box, RX V6A Receiver and LG OLED TV via HDMI chain from Streaming to Receiver to TV with no audio or video passing through the TV first. The only issues that result is getting all 3 to play nicely when switching on and off via a single (NVIDIA) remote control. It is nothing short of fantastic to be able to have such a simple remote control all three devices for the most common functions. Only specialty settings require a specific remote. However it becomes an issue of chicken or egg - as control messages to go on or off are carried by HDMI and the power sequence becomes complex - with options to turn on or off IF ... THEN... for all 3! Otherwise the receiver has been a dream to finally restore sound to several rooms in our home from SIriusXM and now several other sources as well, I'm thrilled with the features, new MusiCast control and ease of operation once installed and properly paired for single remote operation. I plan to have this around another 10 years and enjoye the excellent 4K video upscaled by the NVIDIA device and handled beautifully by the receiver to drive the TV in rich color and great 5 Channel Sound. ... show more

    • Great AVR for the Price
I recently purchased the RX-V6A to replace an old Denon AVR. Installation and setup was easy and tweaking the settings was easy using the built-in web interface. I have it connected to a Samsung TV and an array of Klipsch speakers and subwoofers. The unit looks good, sounds great, the audio quality is superb and it has plenty of power. The only problem I have is when I crank this beast up it scares off the wildlife, the dogs hide, and the wife yells at me. ... show more

    • RX-V6A 7.2-Channel AV Receiver ++++!
Lets start with shipment, all was ok, the only delay was having to be in person to sign for the package. UPS missed me twice, left a return date note and on next business day, was able to sign for unit delivery. Everything was new in box, all items stated were included. Now comes the setup, well, having only an "easy" setup flyer (no user guide), one would think it would be easy -- uh no. I would of rated my overall experience a 5 start, yet, had to find and download the User manual only after hours of trying to determine what was causing audio "stutter" with local TV or streaming app. Contacted Yahama Tech Support by chat, was told by chat support, a tech would contact me within 24 to 48 hours. I did ask the online chat support to expedite and within 2 hours, a tech support call came. Within 15 minutes, the patient Tech support guy systematically helped to troubleshoot the issue. I had a separate local antenna tuner with HDMI connected to HDMI port of TV and the AV unit HDMI (eArc) out cable connected to Vizio 55E1 (eArc, HDMI 1) port at the same time. Tech asked for me to switch local tuner cable from TV to HDMI port 1 of AV unit. Retested audio - no stutter. Thank you Yamaha Tech support. Some would say it is obvious to connect a separate TV tuner to HDMI port of AV unit, not so obvious without a solid User guide. The AV unit remote is ok, the only criticism is the left/top/right/down buttons used to navigate through the onscreen menu is sub-par (not wide enough), often when trying to scroll the setup menu, the large middle round select button is pressed since the width of the menu selector keys is too thin. At least double the width selector keys is suggested to Yahama. The overall sound quality, performance and power is great. I recommend this unit for those who want a GREAT AV unit for the price point and excellent Tech support. I have JBL Studio2 and Klipsch (front/center/subwoofer) - AMAZING!! ... show more

    • Amazing
This receiver is great, Iโ€™m driving 5 speakers plus a subwoofer and get great sound. It takes a while the figure out setup and operation but Yahama support was there to help me through all those issues. My only issue is that volume levels between devices is not consistent e.g. if youโ€™re using it for tv and switch to a audio device you will get blasted out so turn the volume down and then readjust. ... show more

    • me like
I've had Onkyo, Sony and Denon receivers in the past, and I must say... this Yamaha RX-V6A pounds my speakers like none of the others. Cost more too. I suspect it's power output might be underrated or other brands are overrating their specs. It was a bit of effort to setup and the remote interferes with my other Yamaha receiver in the room. Musiccast can help with that. If your in the market for a midrange receiver Yamaha should be on your list. I have many Yamaha products from mixers, cd player and Yamaha workstation keyboards and very happy with them and they last. ... show more

    • HDMI Output
4 weeks after installing the RX-V6A the video stopped working, but the audio remained working. After a lot of researching and firmware updating I found out these unit have problems with the earc output port. These types of issues are very upsetting. It takes forever to diagnosis the problem, then deal with the phone call to the factory, shipping back and forth, and reinstalling the unit. I sure hope that Yamaha has a great support team like Epson does. Can anyone just make something that works without problems!! ... show more
