Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Price was a bit more than I wanted to spend but it is worth every penny, hooked up to some Klipsch speakers and it sounds like a dream.

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.

Yamaha - RX-V6A 7.2-channel AV Receiver with 8K HDMI and MusicCast . Fantastic Receiver. This receiver greatly improved my picture on my big screen and sound to my surround sound. Very easy to set up. Customer representative at store in Northridge did a great job listening to my needs and making a great recommendation

I bought this to replace my 12 year old Yamaha receiver, i wanted to upgrade to a devoce with WiFi support. The setup was super easy, has many hdmi orts ans works and sounds terrefic! Very happy!

This is a great receiver...easy to setup...and plenty of ports for speakers. We have paired it with a Samsung Frame TV and some Bose Accustimass surround sound speakers. Wow....I hid my head under a pillow for some of the scenes in "Bourne". We still need to get the MusicCast app working...I've just started to set it up. Another remaining task is to tie it in with our Amazon Echo. All that stuff is great....but it is the sound quality that makes this receiver Excellent!

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

Good looks. Great sound. Easy to set up and switch between sources. GUI could be a bit better. Don't worry about a small display; between that and the TV screen, you can see all you need to see. I bought this after my Onkyo TX-NR686 stopped working, and this sounds better to me. If you don't want to spend $1,500 or more for a good sounding AVR, can't go wrong here.

My previous avr was a pioneer elite. I was worried that this wouldn't live up to my previous experience. But this thing is awesome. Several months in and I've had zero issues with it. I think I found a unit that will bring me years of use while maintaining high quality

This A/V receiver could be the market's best value-for-money pick, offering excellent sound quality and robust power. However, it's not without flaws. The user interface feels outdated, and it's not the most intuitive—this could be a letdown for users expecting a modern touch. Additionally, the HDMI bandwidth is limited to 24 Gbps, which may concern those wanting to connect more advanced gaming systems like a PS5 or a PC with an RTX4090. This limitation could be a significant compromise for enthusiasts seeking to push their equipment to the limits. Despite these issues, for those prioritizing sound quality and power on a budget, this receiver remains a strong contender.

If you want this receiver to take advantage of everything hdmi 2.1 can do. Just keep moving along. In fairness Yamaha has said they will take care of the faulty hdmi 2.1 issue. But I don’t want to keep this product waiting for them to fix it. Hence why I gave it 3 stars. The receiver looks great and is easy to set up. I couldn’t even get a Xbox series x to display properly with the settings at 4k 60 and switch inputs properly. If this worked it would have been a great value and everything I needed. I was optimistic but it just didn’t deliver.

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

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!

Bought this open box on sale, works pretty well and it sounds great, Yamaha has some issues with these receivers but so far none with mine. It could use more power but that's to be expected in this price range.

I bought this reciever because of it's 4k@120hz option that will come in a future upgrade. Since my LG C1 TV is 4k@120 hz I figured I'd future proof my purchase. The features are easy to use and the sound quality is AMAZING! This reciever is made in Malaysia. I've learned over the years that this is the country you want to buy electronics from. Japan's quality is inferior. This reciever is very hard to find in stock at Bestbuy. If you can get your hands on one DO IT you wont regret it!

I've owned a couple of Yamahas over the years and this one holds true. I have always liked Yamaha and the newer models with Music Cast app. Once I logged in to Pandora with the App the receiver played all my channels and it worked great. This unit was very easy to set up with the included microphone. You can label the inputs as you want them to read and the display is easy to read. I'm pleased with this piece.

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.

Works great. Easy to setup. The sound is fantastic. I would recommend spending the money on good speakers.

Definitely highly recommended Yamaha 7.2 channel Home theater Receiver unit. The best sounds. I have used a few others, but this one is by far the BEST BUY yet.:) Go ahead and get it, you will not regret it...this is actually my THIRD unit, same make and model.

This unit replaced a much higher priced high end Marantz home theatre receiver and, suprizingly, out performs it in every way. Surround sound is best described as 3D like and the bass is defintely more robust and refined. Highly recommended as a top buy.
