Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far so good, HDMI 2.1 and eARC enables the receiver to stream 'losssless' FLAC audio. This can't do Dolby Atmos or simulated Atmos, but I don't care. Setup was pretty easy. I bought this as an open-box unit, and the remote control was missing, but the BB sales rep set me up with a new one, and made it worth my while.

Penomenal AV receiver and sounds very good. Reviews saying it is hard to set up are confusing to me. I disconnected an older Yamaha AV receiver, labelled my wires, and easily connected. I recommend capitalizing upon all of the features by using HDMI connections. The balance for sound is very pleasing, when watching TV, movies, etc. I have a fussy year - am a trained musician and apreciate good steroe systems. This is a very good receiver - I am loooking next int Music Cast Speakers for other roms tofuly capitalize on the network features.

Swapped out a Denon AVR-S750H for this and could not be happier. Set up is easy. Plug your speakers in and it will work! No clunky set up screens. The Yamaha sounds better, looks better, and is easy to set up and use. Highly recommend!

Great sounds. Easy to hook up. MusicCast works great.

The RX-V4A provides superb sound, a modern interface and all networking, WiFi, Bluetooth and Airplay capabilities. My receiver is driving 2 Klipsch RP-600M front speakers and a RP-600C center speaker connected to a Samsung 4K TV, Apple TV, iMac and wired ethernet. Outstanding classical music, vocals and jazz!

I am not an audiophile but I could hear an improvement over my decades old inherited receiver immediately. I have this hooked up to a 2.1 setup and to a BenQ 2050a, it has worked great for the past year. If you are looking for an entry level upgrade and have realistic expectations this is a good one, or at least it was for me.

Bought this because it has a second zone to power my outdoor speakers. The MusicCast feature and app works great. Can stream to tons of services directly from the receiver so you dont need to keep your phone connected to it. The MusicCast app controls it, but nothing is streaming from your phone.

The Yamaha - RX-V4A 5.2-channel AV Receiver with 8K HDMI and MusicCast is a high-quality Receiver that replaced an old non-functional receiver. Overall rating* Excellent

Sounds great, set up was very easy. Wireless connections were easy to establish. I put time into reseaech and it paid off... id definitely recommend this unit to anyone looking to beef up their home theater sound

One of the best receivers I’ve purchased in a long time. I purchased this product for my garage and it has not disappointed. This is my second Yamaha receiver and the sound quality has improved over the years. I purchased my first Yamaha 22 years and it is still rocking my family room.

This replaced a 12-year old Onkyo receiver. This unit was easy to set up and had inputs for everything I needed. The sound is good to me. Spotify through MusicCast is super easy. For this price I'm just missing a 2nd zone.

this was my first time purchasing in this price range. I was very pleased with the operation of everything on eARC. pretty seamless. i returned this because i wanted to try the Atmos features of my speakers. this does not support that function, that i could find anyway. It’s still a great starting point.

Love the sound of this unit. Setup is a pain as the manual is not very good. But is sounds great when setup. Its driving my Polk audio speakers with a velodyne subwoofer. Very clear sound and surprising about of power for the price. Loses a star for the setup/manual.

this 5.2 channel av receiver with 8k hdmi and musiccast is perfect for the beginner in home theater.my son loves watching movies with this and can not go back to a sound bar.thumbs up for us!!

I had some issues initially getting video pass through from my Apple TV 4K but once I turned off HDR on the Apple TV, everything worked fine. It seems to be a common problem.

This unit is very stream lined easy to use and setup. Sound is Great. Now the Bad.... The GUI. is not so good , it has no color and is very plain and lacks options. The Multi-Room Selection on the remote does'nt work very either. It runs hot an constantly shuts down! So I had to return it. I was using only 2 Front Speakers Save your money and time and go for the Rx-v6.

Very nice and sounds very very good and have a very nice picture on my TV.

I am using this receiver with a TV set in the master BR and it works very well. It was slightly tricky to set up but it all came together and ended up having great sound, and easy to operate.

I have had Yamaha receivers for many years and needed a relatively inexpensive one for a bedroom. This one fit the bill. As I was a previous Yamaha user setup and operations were a snap. It was a great purchase. It works like my microwave with a selector job and push to confirm. The receiver makes sound, the microwave makes the popcorn.

Got this specifically to run XBox Series X through because it is notorious for audio delay. It will run 4k 120 HDR to your tv with no noticeable lag and eliminates the audio delay nonsene with gaming consoles and especially Blu Ray discs. Great if your TV only has one HDMI 2.1 input as it has 4 inputs. Perfect for multiple gaming consoles.
