Q: QuestionDo you think it's good? I am choosing between RX-1080 and RX-V6A, can you give me your opinion?

Asked 5 years ago by Hien.

• A:Answer Have had this unit for 4 days. It cranks up pretty good with a 5.2 speaker group and two powered subs. It's already received two firmware updates and while these receivers still look dated it's better then most and the remote well isn't the greatest but none of them are. Wish irhe remote had seperate bass/sub/treble adjustments but all and all very happy with the unit. I like bone crushing loud music and this gets it done with sports / movies / whatever.

Q: QuestionIs this the 2020 Model with all HDMI 2.1 Inputs?

Asked 5 years ago by Tree.

• A:Answer Yes, though none of the 2.1 features (4K/120, VRR, ALLM, eARC, Dolby Height Virtualization, etc) will be active at this time. Yamaha’s site says these will be activated via firmware update, but there is no specific date for this firmware release.

Q: QuestionGiven all the talk about this & other receivers being unable to pass through 4K 120 hz until after some upgrade is included in the chipset... does this unit, bought today (March 2022) actually pass through 4K at 120 hz? thx.

Asked 4 years ago by RG1200.

Q: QuestionCan an external power amp be connected to this unit so that I can separately power the left, Right, Center speakers?

Asked 5 years ago by menell.

• A:Answer You can hook up the amp with the front preamp out for the front LR speakers. I'm not sure if you can do the center though. You might be able to use a line level converter (like the ones used to hook a cars factory radio to an amp) hooked to the center channel output then feed that into your amp

Q: QuestionMy theater is 6.1 I have a single surround back speaker. I don't see a way to select a single back surround. Is there a way to make it use a single rear surround like my Onkyo did?

Asked 5 years ago by David.

• A:Answer I have the same setup. My suggestion is to use surround center middle speaker as a center channel. Having 2 center channels greatly enhances the dialogue. It works well.
