Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really nice 5.1 receiver! This unit as all the 4K usability you'll want today, a fine amplifier section and easy setup. And very affordable!

Nice looking unit. I use it as a basic stereo setup. Sub with two fronts. Sounds great and I’m very happy with the purchase. Price was in my range as well as the power.

I'm using this Yamaha RX-V4A 5.2 channel to be the hub for my 82" 4K TV, Satellite TV, 4K-DVD player and a turntable. The sound is better than I expected. My only concern is that it will not broadcast its own SSID in order to use the MusicCast smartphone app. Without the MusicCast app connection you can not log into any of your streaming app like Pandora. I've done extensive troubleshooting and still no connection. I've also called Yamaha tech support four times and after waiting 45-minutes each time I'm always 35th in the queue. I finally gave up.

Works great. Not hard to hookup. Bluetooth works great.

Nice unit but the front speaker minimum impedance is 6 ohms. Plus if you want to bi-amps your front speakers, again the minimum impedance it can handle is 6 ohms. However, with my SONY Bravia TV, and unlike both Denon and Okyo units (apparently both owned by the same company), the receiver does not always turn on when you turn on the TV. That feature can drive you nuts!!!

I love my Yamaha receiver and pushed out amazing sound the Bluetooth works great.

Very easy to set up. Love the Music Cast app and features. Great sound and easy to operate. Connected to my TV using the ARC connection making it controllable through my TV remote

It worked well. It was a plug and play without needing and other attachments.

Having owned this received for a little over 2 weeks, I have mixed reviews. I have owned a previous Yamaha receiver; I am very familiar with the brand. The set-up process was relatively easy. It’s very minimalist. Most of the functions need to be done using the remote. The screen display is very small. No possibility to adjust the bass and treble from the receiver. Other than that, I am still getting familiar with the different features. I wish there was a YouTube video, to make it more user friendly. Now I would suggest purchasing the receiver from a different vender than Best Buy. They only have 15 days to return, which I wasn’t aware of. This receiver is a replacement to a similar one. The power wouldn’t turn on, so I had to return it. If I decided to go with a different receiver, Best buy would’ve charged a restocking fee. No a great way to keep customers happy.

This receiver was so easy to setup. It recognized my other connections with-out any extra steps. Also, the sound selections are great. Would recommend this receiver to anyone in need of an upgrade.

Good features and overall sound quality. Good price point and fairly easy to use.

I set up a 5.2 channel system with this home theater receiver. Main drivers are R- 51Ms, so definitely nothing too power hungry. I never have any background hum and thats really all I ask for. The filters are kinda gimmicky, some just add massive reverb, some feel muffled so i just keep it on 2 channel stereo for music, or all channel surround for movies. But generally speaking if all you need is a modest 5 channel system, this will certainly get the job done. Also, it seems to have a pass through feature when using HDMI from a device like an Xbox, if the amp is off it will pass over the audio to the TV. Surprisingly useful feature if you've got sleeping roommates.

Audio files, love Yamaha for receivers. I’m not that and I was concerned that this receiver with only 80 W per channel would be enough power for my Klipsch speakers but it’s amazing that I can’t even turn the sound all the way up to zero DB because it’s too loud. And the music cast app works great and is exactly what I was looking for in a competitor to Sonos.
