Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really disappointed. I own several Yamaha receivers the last purchase was a RX v385. I thought I was upgrading when I purchased the RX-V4A. When I set it up the remote was faulty. When new batteries were inserted the remote it did not respond to the selection made and kept changing the source in a circle. Even more disappointed with the response of Best Buy the staff offered a generic remote or wanted me to contact Yamaha direct to have remote replaced.

It won’t turn on and we’ve had it only 3 weeks. Also when researching how to reset it there’s no information on a RX-V4A receiver. The display doesn’t come on.

The Yamaha RX-V4A has a HDMI 2.1 bug that makes watching interferes with 4k and you have to run all of your HDMI through your TV rather than this unit. Yamaha is aware of the bug but has no time line to fix the bug.

Although it claims to offer two zones, it doesn't work.

No remote. Dealt with best buy 2 weeks and they were supposed to send me another with a remote. Then they sent me the exact same one with no remote. Terrible experience.

The is a nice receiver for home theater system. Was running great

Buy a 7.1 version at Costco. You won't regret it. Its cheaper then this one.

Stopped working after a firmware update was downloaded

This product was defective - returned it for a different brand - hoping this new one will work better instead of turning off every few minutes (sleep timer was off !).

It’s a piece of crap! Sells rep recommended it. It set in box for weeks until basement was ready when finally opened and set up. It’s a waste of money. It’s not what I needed or wanted now passed return date

The unit doesn’t work. Red light just blinks when I tried to turn it on. Says it’s because speaker wire shorted more than 3 times but they were never hooked up. My son bought it for me for Christmas and doesn’t have receipt

the receiver keeps cutting off randomly. All connections are secure and new.

I had this receiver for less than 30 days and the HDMI output failed. Too long to return and get a refund.

It was an open box, but I returned it. I couldn't get the app to connect to my phone. The dials felt very cheap, even for a discounted $500 receiver.

Didn’t work out of the box. I plugged it in, it smelled hot a went intro endless protection mode. Best Buy was great though. Took it back with no questions asked!

Had it for like maybe 3 months...now its a massive brick andddd obvi have to go through the manufacturer warranty process...

Bought this to replace an ancient Sony 5 DVD receiver/amp. We have built-in 4.1 speakers in our family room and this may be the first time we've had sound out of the rear speakers. Very easy to set up and optimize the sound profile. If you have Yamaha amps, I can't emphasize using the MusicCast app enough. Super easy to change from cable to SiriusXM or other inputs and you don't have to use the verkakta remote. Everything can be done in the app. This purchase only happened because I received a gift card and needed something to spend it on. Honestly couldn't be happier that I used it for this.

Hard to set up. Didnt do what it said. App did not work. Returned for a Sony.

Quit working after 2 week took it back got a refund

I love it. It has all the features I needed including bluetooth. Lots of Inputs. My favorite feature is the ability to change the volume from a db setting to a 1-100 display. Also the ability to adjust auto off so it doesnt stay on all night if I g forget to turn off. Lots of power, All the inputs I need, even FM radio. 5 starts Yahama.
