Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased this receiver to replace an old yamaha receiver for the 4k capabilities. Overall, the receiver does its job and has a excellent price for its featureset. The implementation with their connected features such as spotify could be a bit less confusing to set up. Other than that the receiver is great and sounds great hooked up to my q90t television. I would recommend thos for those hooking this up via an e-arc connection to utilize it as it works well and in many tvs it gets you down to a single remote. In addition, the ypao setup is great for initial configuration and will help you get the best you can out of this receiver.

When I upgraded my 10(ish) year old LED TV to a newer OLEDevo one, I realized my old Yamaha receiver wouldn't handle the newer 4K or 8K HDMI standards. So, I ended up also upgrading the audio. I was so happy with my old Yamaha, I wanted to stick with the brand and bought this unit. LOVE it! Audio quality is every bit as good as it was, and it handles 8K video just fine. The network connectivity is also great, so I can run network streamed radio and such during the non-TV hours. Overall, a great upgrade to my home entertainment system.

Good AV Receiver overall. Sound quality is very good, easy to setup and use with the MusicCast app, but the manual is seriously lacking in content. There is a serious delay with Bluetooth transmission and TV lip sync, and nowhere to fine-tune the delay, other than the "Audio Delay > Lip Sync" general setting for the receiver in the MusicCast app. Also, I purchased the receiver in the hope of setting up a 5.1 surround sound environment using Yamaha's MusicCast 20 wireless speakers, but no luck finding any in stock anywhere to date since October.

Love the theater sound well balances range even the center is just right. However unhappy w oversized manual u have to print. But power n quality definitely nice bang for buck

I purchased this receiver to add to my man cave. I have been impressed with the performance of this device. I had an issue With setting up music cast. Despite what many said online I found that if the antennas are block you can’t connect music cast. After making sure that the antennas were clear the system works great. I’m very happy with the sound quality and easy of use. Setting up my speakers and other devices were a breeze! I’m giving the ease of use only three stars due to the antenna issue.

Recently purchased a new OLED TV and replaced a 30 yr old Yamaha receiver that lacked the necessary inputs. The Yamaha RX-V6 is a great receiver so far. Setup was easy, taking less than 45 minutes including the firmware update. Picture and sound quality are excellent. Lots of settings available, but requires some time to navigate through them the first time. Good value for the price. Hope it has the same lifetime as the last receiver.

I bought this guy used/open box. And Boy was it open. The thing came bare in a damaged cardboard box. No padding, no styrofoam nothing. It has a bit of cosmetic damage (very likely due to the shipping) but all the parts were included and it seems to work alright. Currently I have it wired up in a 5.1ch paradigm studio setup. It sounds great! The input switching is a little slow and it likes to hop to a different input on start from time to time. I tried out the bluetooth and the network streaming for grins and giggles and those seem to work but it feels a bit gimmicky. I'm not sure why someone would want to buy this for a home theater setup only to connect it to a phone's bluetooth. I use a google home/cast to cast enabled speakers instead. Pay attention to which HDMI port you use if you're looking for top quality since they're not all the same. So far so good.

I bought the Yamaha Rx-v6a on a open box sale. I loved how my music sounded and was happy with watching movies. I put on Top gun with atmos and every time the jets flew overhead the ceiling speakers would crack and no sound would come out of any speakers. I googled the problem and there were alot of complaints on this issue with the Rx-v6a. I returned the reciever and purchased the Sony Str an1000. I did not like the sound from the Sony compared to the Yamaha. The bass was over powering and you could tell it was coming from the subwoofer ( not matched with the speakers). Thanks to Best buy's return policy, I returned the Sony and upgraded to the Onkyo RZ50. I now have no buyers remorse and am happy with the sound. I also can now upgrade to 5.2.4 and have the option of 7.2.4 If you are looking for a Receiver to mostly play music thia is a great choice.

Great buy. This was a deviation from past/older components where everything was adjustable on the face. This unit has a clean sleek look with minor adjustments on the face. Everything is done via my I-phone from Yamaha MusicCast or Yamaha AV setup aps or the remote. The adjustment process is a little intimidating as is the online "firmware updating" for an old school audiophile. Adjustments seem endless and some are several layers deep. Everyday is an another opportunity to tweek the settings. There is plenty of power @ 100w into a full 7.2 channel setup with 0.06% THD. I have read other reviews where there were a myriad of setting/download/functional issues but I have had none of these.

This is my first receiver. Was able to set it up myself without too much hassle but I did tons of research before buying. Would very highly recommend looking up any receiver you are planning to buy on Crutchfield to get a more accurate power rating. I have mine paired with a home theater in a box from Klipsch that included everything I needed for a 5.1 surround setup minus the receiver. With that being said the receiver works flawlessly. Sounds awesome paired with the Klipsch setup. The only thing I can point out as a negative is that when I first start it up to play audio after it being off for the night is that the subwoofer doesn't play audio for about the first 5 seconds. After that It's fine though.

Larger display on front panel would have been nice. Otherwise great sound quality and ease and flexibility of setup

An upgrade from my last Yamaha receiver after 11 years. Nothing else changed in my home theater configuration other than a tv as well (all speakers and wiring remained consistent) and wow what an upgrade on the sound experience. Easy to set up, the MusicCast app is a nice bonus to have. This is my 3rd Yamaha received in 30 years and I couldn’t think of considering any other brand.

Open Box Buy Good overall sound for Music and Videos It has the Musicast application for various streaming services in addition to its own, with Bluetooth. Good overall power for the size of my room

This would had been a 5-Star but until we get the 8K over the air update it would be a 4-Star. And yes, we can download the update or use a usb. So far, I have been using this receiver for the past 2 months and I really like it. The sound its amazing using Dolby Atmos. Its simple, has 7 Hdmi inputs and 1 Hdmi output. The menu is a bit slow but not to worry, It can be access thru its IP address and its much easier to configure if needed. Looks futuristic as far design goes. I have no complains so far. Yamaha did it this time.

Power it does like power on the top end. Lots of cool features Great connectivity has all been necessary plugs for hooking up devices. Good for a starter system but not a high-end system

I bought this receiver to replace an older Yamaha that I had for 10 Years. Right out of the box, this receiver sounded great. Clear, crisp detailed sound especially from games and movies. Unfortunately, after a couple of weeks I started having HDMI issues and had to return it

I am really liking this receiver. It replaced my Yamaha 675, time for an upgrade like with all electronics. My 675 had separate buttons for HDMI source options, this control doesn’t. It also had picture icons for set-up and management, which was fun and easier for me to understand. I still love it. I can bi-amp my Klipsch speakers and play with Dolby Atmos. Oh boy.

So far so good! It sounds really good and is plenty loud enough to blast out some great music and watch some cinematic movies. For the price it is a good buy compared to other A/V receivers.

I generally have stuck with Yamaha Models and got this for far less than the listed price. Most Receivers are over priced these days as they offer fewer features and cost more. This has all the features but should probably run about 200 less than it's currently listed for. I don't like the look on the front and lacks physical buttons for things and hence the 4 star review Performs great though, Yamaha's lower end models are missing things like this has. Banana plugs for all speaker outputs (this should be standard ) It has plenty of HDMI ports and does 4k at 120hz for gaming setups Per their spec page 7.2-channel 100 Watt surround sound with Zone 2 4K120AB and 8K60B HDMI with HDCP 2.3 and eARC (7 in/1 out) Dolby Vision™, Hybrid Log-Gamma and BT.2020 Supports enhanced media and gaming – ALLM and VRR Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X™ and Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization Wi-Fi®, AirPlay 2®, Spotify Connect and Voice Control MusicCast App control Pandora®, Spotify, Amazon Music, SiriusXM, TIDAL, Deezer and more YPAO automatic room calibration with R.S.C. and multipoint Phono input

Wow! This is an incredibly powerful receiver with the beautiful, warm tones for which Yamaha is known. Easy to setup and, having bought this as an "open item," a great value!
