    This AVR has been fantastic. No HDMI issues, sound is great and the setup and adjustments are plentiful. Power is enough for my 5.1 system using 8ohm speakers, paired with 4 KEF Q150s and a center channel definite tech along with a cheap 120 watt sub from dayton.

    Easy to set up. Lots of features. The app works great. The whole reason we chose this was for Spotify connect (Sony does not have) but I may now turn into a Yamaha fan.

    Always satisfied with yamaha's products. This receiver definitely outperforms in every way. It has phenomenal Atmos surround sound and great HDMI control. The remote is a little lacking but I end up using control remotes or the TV remote anyways.

    The Yamaha RX V6A is an excellent, powerful receiver. It produces clear tone as well as balanced sound. I do miss the more self-explanatory dials on the face of the unit. This is a superb receiver for a fair price!

    Super easy to set up and get running. Excellent sound quality, especially for the cost. Does not have any composite or component video inputs, so dot plan on connecting older equipment (I was able to find a Wii adapter to HDMI for connection). You will need the remote for some functionality.

    I needed a new receiver and I have been very happy with Yamaha receivers for many years. I was not disappointed. The receiver works like my washer, dryer and microwave with a knob to make the selection and push to select. The receiver makes the sound, the microwave makes the popcorn. Being a Yamaha, the menus were very similar and that made it easy to set up and use.

    I am very pleased with this receiver. Sound quality is exceptional. The setup was easy and the microphone used to balance my speakers worked perfectly. This is my third Yamaha receiver. Each one has given me many hours of pleasure watching movies and streaming videos.

    This product is great! I arrived at the Best Buy at the Southpoint location area. Just looking. I was in the market at that time for a receiver, however wasn't looking to do it before Christmas. The salesperson was very knowledgeable and helpful. He didn't speak to me like he was selling to an inexperienced female shopper. He gave me all the respect. I purchase from that location because it was user friendly clean and respectful. I even opened a credit card. Excellent experience. I will be visiting again soon.

    Nice sound, easy to connect to our pc & phones. Liked the preamp outs on the fronts because I might get a high end amp for the fronts later on; that was one particular feature I was looking for and you usually only find on more expensive receivers. Only thing I might complain about is the setup menu has kind of a crude / clunky interface, they could have done better with that.

    Great sound + great value + future proofing

    Decided to replace my Sony STR-DN1040 and I initially started with the Denon AVR-S750H per Wirecutter’s lofty view of Denon. Everything about it - from the look, to the interface, to the menu system, to the sound - underwhelmed. Noticed a local Best Buy had an open-box Yamaha for a hard to pass on price and I returned the Denon and picked up the Yamaha within less than 24 hours. So far I really like the Yamaha. Looks GREAT!, sounds good, and the future proofing with the 8k compatible HDMIs is icing on the cake. I have not experienced the HDMI issues that a lot of people have described. However, I noticed that on occasion when using a Logitech harmony (remote and/or app) to switch from an HDMI input to live tv (TCL Series 8, eARC connection) I’ll get video but no sound. Turning off the receiver and turning it back on fixes the issue. Not sure if this a Yamaha issue or a TCL issue so I didn’t dock any stars from Yamaha. In all fairness it should be a 4.5 but since it’s not available I went with a 5.

    I was expecting to pay a certain amount for a new receiver, but it had been a long time since I purchased one. I was very happy with the man who spent about 45 minutes with me explaining the newest features. I ended up paying a bit more, but wow what a system I have now. I'll be back to buy home speakers for my living room, as I love music. Very impressive employees.
