    I love almost everything about this AVR. The only problem I'm having, and it pretty much makes this impossible to use, is the sound through ARC cuts out and back on. Sometimes it happens for a fraction of as second, sometimes for 10 seconds. Just to make sure it wasn't my specific model, I have also tried the V6A and 700 (some insides) and all of them had this problem. It is for sure this AVR that is at fault. I've tried a Denon and an older Yamaha and neither has a this problem. Maybe Yamaha can fix this through firmware, but I'm not willing to take a gamble on that, especially at this price point.

    Not sure if it's the receiver or how it was hooked up, but this receiver is really hit and miss with working correctly.

    Unfortunate Choice

    Unfortunately, this unit caused major problems for me. I was delighted with the online descriptions and limited reviews for this new product from Yamaha, but the unit delivered was clearly defective. Installation was attempted by the Geek Squad team, who spend several hours dealing with connectivity issues (audio not functioning on one or more devices, no clear way to perform factory reset, etc.) Ultimately, I selected a comparable Denon unit, which was installed without any problems and works perfectly.

    I bought this Yamaha RX-A2A RECEIVER on AUGUST 12,2021 for $849. It was installed September 5, 2021 It stopped working on September 22, 2021. The HDMI out stopped working. I called BEST BUY. They said they wouldn’t help since 15 days passed. The replacement digital board was out of stock. Anticipated restocking date was January 5, 2022. Beware when you buy from Best Buy. I buy all of my electronics at Best Buy. No more. They have the worst return policy. 30 days after buying this Yamaha the price went from $849 to $899.

    Replacement of earlier Toshiba that quit working (no help forthcoming from Toshiba). New unit really doesn't do a very good job. Added to that, the set up isn't user friendly. Wish i had not purchased the new unit.

    Set-up was a bit more complicated then it needed to be. The auto function rarely picks up the digital processing needed. Would appreciate more power per speaker. Good, but I will be exchanging.

    ARC works 2/3's of the time

    Had very high hopes for this receiver. After two weeks of dealing the HDMI/ARC showing video with no audio, I am done. About 1/3 of the time you use the TV/HDMI ARC input there is no audio. It doesn't matter how many different combos of turning the unit on and off it only comes back randomly. So disappointing.
