Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the RX-V6A a few weeks ago to upgrade my system and replace my old Yamaha RX-V620. I want it to work the same way as before: with five speakers in Zone 1 (the main room) and two speakers in Zone 2 that I can turn on when I turn off Zone 1. I paid for the service to hook the receiver up. The Best Buy sent me two different technicians to set up the receiver. Neither of them could do it. Contrary to Best Buy's information, the last technicians told me the receiver was not made for that. I am not sure what to do. Please, help.

Receiver has great functionality and performance. Set up/Operation is a bit complex (seems to be the case for all new audio-visual equipment). Primary purpose for the purchase was to upgrade my current receiver to pass through 4K content, and this is working without an issue.

I love it! Sounds great depending on your speakers. I use Klipsch. Movies in surround sound seem like you are in the theater.

Love the raw, clean power and some of the DSP I've figured out but for someone who is more of a listener than a techi, this thing is impossibly complex.

Works perfectly, all components worked on first try and sounds amazing

Excellent reciever with lots of power to power all of your speakers and plenty of other nice features as well. I love the auto calibration feature.

Very easy to connect and use. Love it and recommend it

Best home theater for the price clear sound and Power

Excellent receiver. I shopped around and had picked out another brand. But I am pleased with my purchase.

Easy set and great sound!! Love that it’s Wi-Fi now

Paired with Klipsch Reference Cinema System 5.1.4 with Dolby Atmos. Sound is outstanding!

This receiver makes my room become alive. The surround sound going through it is off the chart. Highly recommended!

We had the same issue as other reviewers with failure soon after putting it into service for HDMI. That said, for our surround sound in 2 zones this worked great. 2 weeks after getting a new Samsung 4K QLED to match up with this new receiver, HDMI out suddenly stops working. Audio functionality is great, but will pass no video at all. Tested HDMI cables and TV, which eliminated issues with source, cable or TV... tried hard reset of AVR, network updates, nothing worked. Guessing that it has a bad HDMI board. My other complaint is that MusicCast pairing was unstable, dropped connections three times in so many weeks requiring re-connecting—which wasn’t consistent and required many tries. This is very difficult compared to our other Yamaha receiver which paired well on the first try and hasn’t been an issue since. Too bad, new stuff from Yamaha is just not ready for the market. First time BestBuy has sold me a lemon. It was otherwise good while it lasted.

Incredible audio quality and power.Abundant amount of HDMI inputs for all my devices/Firestick,PlayStation,Nintendo,etc.Extremely happy with this purchase!

I did my research and decided on this receiver because it has all the input hookups I need. Out of coincidence, I talked to my nephew and he has the exact receiver and he loves it. It has a lot of features for the money. I’m replacing an Onkyo receiver,which is over 20 years old. My old receiver didn’t have hdmi inputs or outputs and has been acting up. Sorry I can’t tell you how it sounds yet because I’m rearranging living room and audio and video.

Love this receiver! Bluetooth is flawless!! Highly recommend this Yamaha receiver!!

Love it great sound loud and clean sound I'd recommend it

bought this for Christmas for my dad with two tower speakers, speakers work great! AV Receiver is complete trash! worked for about two weeks then returned it for an exchange of the same unit because the EARC stopped working. I tried numerous different troubleshooting scenarios spent hours on this before I returned it,. like different HDMI cord that was brand new and higher quality didn't work also tried just an optical cord it didn't work either. when I exchanged it for a new unit it was even worse hooked up all my speakers it got no sound out of the box with both optical and HDMI hook ups again spent hours messing with all the settings even plugging it into a different TV and other possible scenarios to ultimately decided tonight that I will be returning this unit and going with a different brand of Receiver with hopes of not encountering the same problem. usually I'm impressed with yamaha, but they must have cut a lot of corners on this unit! Best Buy I highly recommend you stop selling this unit with hopes of saving other people the same headache !

Excellent av receiver got 5.1 chanel hooked up sounds good and works perfect hooking up ps5 with pass through had no problems at all

Easy to control. Buttons and overall feel seems a little cheap.
