  • 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

  • I like it
Good budget price on a decent receiver, nice features. Bought it for the theater bypass ability, works perfect for my 7.1.1 setup running all Klipsch speakers. Good theater option for my setup, if you got good ears, this will work well. Sounds from all around when watching good movies.... I didn't use it for my analog (turntable) setup though, I have much better for that. ... 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

  • Review
So far Iโ€™ve been very pleased with the unit although I only use it for powering two large front 4 ohm external speakers while listening to music streaming on apps in the TV. Unlike AVs from both Denon (who I believe has the best tech support) and Onkyo that I returned, when I turn on my Sony Bravia TV with settings enabled for eARC, the Yamaha unit does not automatically turn on and subsequently switch sound to the external speakers. Perhaps itโ€™s possible but itโ€™s not something that I wanted. Additionally, I came to learn that both Denon and Onkyo are owned by the same parent company, which may explain their common behavior. However, the Yamaha receiver does automatically switch to the external speakers when I power it on and I am able to control the AVR volume with my TV remote control. Additionally, with the settings I have on the TV and AVR, when I turn off the AVR, the sound automatically switches back to coming from the TV speakers, and the TV does remain on. Again, something I want to happen. In general, Iโ€™ve found that these devices are very complicated with their myriad number of settings on both the TV and the AVR, and it can be very challenging to properly set them. Iโ€™m retired now but my undergraduate degree is in electrical engineering from an Ivy League school at a time when we used slide rules to do the mathematics. I would say that itโ€™s not easy to learn how to use the devices with eARC. If you only want to improve the TV sound, I'm guessing that's it's a lot simpler to use a sound bar. In my case, I've had large and expensive 4 ohm front speakers that I wanted to continue to use, so a sound bar was not an option for me. ... show more

  • Users Guide
The users guide must be obtained by computer, at best its illustrations on called out subjects is poor to not existent. You get a pamphlet showing basic assembly of antennas and how to install speakers. Why cant this manual be included with the unit? It sure would be nice to figure out how to do some of these things without having to go back and forth to a computer if you have one. Seems to me it would not be too costly to you considering the cost of this unit and omitting the tennis shoe run to your computer. Otherwise the unit received appeared to have no damage. Otherwise sill trying to figure out its total operation. Tennis shoes beginning to show wear. Due to the lack of instructions and illustrations I would not recommend this unit to anyone, wish I would have known all this prior to ordering. ... show more
