Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really wanted to love this receiver. The sad part is that I really do love it, but it just has some bug issues that Yamaha needs to smooth out ASAP. This receiver has a really poor input/source switching bug where if you switch from one source to another, the picture is just black. Meaning the source that you're wanting to switch to doesn't appear at all. You have to shut the receiver off and turn back on. Very annoying. A new thing that it just started to do this week is the sound is cutting in and out for no reason. Don't know how to fix this issue. Going to try and return it for a different receiver.

Powerful receiver, MusicCast works pretty well, hopefully updates will improve the interface.

I absolutely love this receiver. It has been almost 8 years since I have brought a new unit. My last receiver had a network and server option, but not like this unit with musiccast. Wow, you have so much control of how, where, and what you want to listen to. Alexa and Google home app voice controls even create another dimension. Added with Dolby Atmos, dual Sub outputs and my new Yamaha has had me smiling since purchase. The week I waited for it to arrive at my local store and some issues with Best Buy's inventory system have not mattered since getting home and hooking it up.

Amplifier is a Total Beast! Sure i Can Go On And On -- About How Rad This Device is But To Surmise: Drum Kit, Motorcycle And Audio/Video Manufacturer Titans!!!!!

Great value and drives my speakers very efficiently. I conectes and old pair of KEF iQ9 towers and I am using in stereo mode. I have a 13 speaker system in the basement in my theater room but my wife and I are primarily using the two channel system powered by the Yamaha. Very impressed with both music as well as movies.

Good modern update for our home theater system. Was easy to set up and while it now sounds great, there were a few things to work through in the setup: 1. I used the included microphone to automatically configure the audio settings and this didn't work well at all. Sounded terrible frankly- front channel was completely muffled, couldn't hear dialogue and the sides and rear channels had almost zero audio coming through them. 2. So I had to go in and manually adjust all of the audio settings to get the home theater sounding right.

I had the Greek Squad come hook up my new Yamaha RX-V6A and I can not stop listening to this stereo receiver because it sounds amazing. Its 12 midnight but I can not go to bed, I just loving the crystal clear sound of this system. I listen to jazz all my life and I had a Denon receiver and It just didn't sound right, not sure how I ended up a Denon receiver? But this Yamaha RX- V6A is Eating Up the sound and sending beautiful music to my Martin Logan Mosaic speakers divinely. This Receiver is Simply Amazing, Let the Greek Squad set it up because it all Pro Set-up!!

It’s been over 40+ years since I bought any stereo equipment. This Yamaha receiver is perfect for my needs. The Bluetooth is excellent. It’s easy to operate and definitely easier to connect my equipment. The HDMI inputs made that happen. I can operate different speakers in two rooms. I’m glad I bought it. Plus, the price is reasonable for a good piece of equipment.

Seems to be able to do the job without having any issues of shut off

I upgraded from a 17 year old Yamaha receiver to this one. Amazing, love all the features and benefits.

For the first year, it was a great receiver. It replaced a Yamaha that we have had for over a decade. Unfortunately, this one only lasted a year before we got the red light of death. We have now brought back in the ole trusty receiver in the interim. Luckily the new one is still under warranty so we will be sending it out to be repaired or replaced. The quality of products are not what they use to be. Hopefully this is not a yearly occurrence.

Nice receiver very powerful and sounds incredible also very easy to operate.

Really like the soind quality. Worth it to get a 7.1 since it supports dolby whereas getting a 5.1 on yamaha does not.

Phenomenal sound. More features than what I need. Not the easiest to setup but once you have everything dialed in, the sound is just WOW!

Great entry level amplifier! Good price range! Sound sometimes get disconnected when using eARC feature from TV to home theater system! I’m on the latest firmware update. I hope they fix this bug for eARC and make all the HDMI 2.1 features available!

Easy to use. Sounds great. Does everything I want. Controller takes some time to learn all the features.

I love the sound. It was difficult for me to set up. I have Samsung TV with mini-connect box. I got the sound working through the receiver but not video. I called geek squad they sent two Technincian over that hooked me up. They said I did it right I just needed to adjust some settings.

Sounds great and was bery easy to hook up and get working.

This receiver is great. Only issues we had is that it did not want to turn on once. I had to do a hard restart (unplugged it then replugged it) to get it to turn on. No other issues so far.

Beautiful design, great quality, easy to use! The amp looks great with the new tv and tv console. My living room has new life!
