A:AnswerIt has little bit more to offer and the advantage series is a good one it has lots of power and more there's a lot of receivers even the top of the line ones but this one I won't trade for anything it does it's job
A:AnswerThere only needs to be a single HDMI cable from Receiver to TV. All other sources can go to the Receiver. If your TV HDMI input is ARC capable (Audio Return Channel) then the TV's built in apps such as streaming will play audio back to the Receiver over the HDMI cable
A:AnswerYou can use bare speaker wire. The terminals unscrew and the wire can be through a hole and then tightened. I personally put banana plugs on all of my speaker wires which make it so much easier to connect to a receiver
A:AnswerYes it does and the app can control many of the features not just volume. Look for "Yamaha Av Control" app on Google or the apple app store , they have images of what it looks like.
A:AnswerThis receiver can 'pass through' 4k video information only. If you want 8k, you'll have to go from cable box straight to tv with hdmi. I dont think there's any 8k content available yet anyway (6/2020).
A:AnswerI have a set of Klipsch Theater speakers on mine. Works perfect. Although your sub-woofers need to be powered. Wouldn't try Bose. Good speakers, but Proprietary.
A:Answeryes u can do that. the second zone has its own source. so u can even b watching a movie in 5.1 surround on the inside and listening to music off your phone on the outside.
A:AnswerIt has a radio tuner and comes with an antenna. WHen playing a stereo signal like music from a CD or even Bluetooth you can change the "Scene" to 2-channel stereo and save different scenes with per-loaded settings for your need. My amp switches to 2-channel stereo listening when i play music over Bluetooth from my phone and when i switch to my living room computer that's hooked up to it switches to virtual surround.
A:AnswerI am unhappy with the sound of the speakers and it’s like no one will actually help you adjust or do anything with the speakers so I’m on satisfied at this point I don’t know what to tell you to do continue to try to contact The store
