Q: Question“I understand this unit will allow me to bi-amp my main speakers. Can I also use zone 2 for patio speakers?

Asked 5 years ago by cm.

• A:Answer I said "yes" earlier but found out, by trying it myself (and spending on an extra set of speaker cables), that you cannot bi-amp the main speaker AND use zone 2. Although the receiver has enough connections to wire both, in the "Power Amp Assign" menu you can only select one or the other. If you select "Bi-Amp" here, the zone 2 speakers are silent. If you bi-amp the speakers and use the "7.1 + 1 Zone" or the "5.1.2 + 1 Zone" setting, you get your zone 2 speakers but your main speakers get different signals for the tweeter and the woofer when you play 7.1 or 5.1.2 audio which is not what you want. For passive bi-amping, both terminals on the speaker should get the same audio signal delivered through two wires. So the short answer is, no, this feature is NOT supported. Unfortunately, the manual does not tell you this explicitly.

Q: QuestionDoes this receiver have the same HDMI 2.1 Issue that both the RX-V6A and RX-V4A have with the Xbox Series X and PS5? From my understanding it’s the chipset that isn’t compatible.

Asked 5 years ago by FROD.

• A:Answer My understanding is it does. The good news perhaps, (Yamaha) has yet to respond, but Sound United who owns Denon and Marantz responded on 12/9 that "Sound United completed additional testing and is pleased to report that 4K/120Hz passthrough works without issue on Nvidia and PS5 devices. Outside of what was originally reported regarding Xbox at 4K/120Hz output setting, we have had no further HDMI 2.1 device interoperability issues reported as of this writing. " This is good news as the chipset is the same as Yamaha, so it may not be a hardware issue with the chipset that was first reported across the three brands. There is not further details on the Yamaha site for a firmware update, but hopefully that means they will follow the same fate. In the same response Sound United indicated they have made good progress on the Xbox issue as well. I know this is an exact answer for Yamaha, but good news given the updates from Sound United.

Asked 5 years ago by DonCarlos.

• A:Answer Unless Yamaha sells a model rated for 220 volts the current US model is 120 volts only. Purchase a small 120 volt to 220 volt transformer. Just make sure transformers output has sufficient wattage to power receiver and any other components that need power.

Q: QuestionIs the November 27th Pickup day accurate? I tried looking for a release date on this model and haven't found a confirmed date.

Asked 5 years ago by hamachiko.

• A:Answer Update on my earlier answer: I got my unit today, two days after the scheduled date. The delay affected other unrelated items as well (like the new game consoles) that were scheduled to be available on Black Friday, so it appears it was simply a delivery issue.
