Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

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 love Yamaha’s sound and the ability to control the unit with an app. Added value to get this on sale.

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

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.

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

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!

Unbelievable sound and appearance. YPAO is awesome for set up. My last Yamaha receiver HTR 5930 is 20 years old and still works great. Going with the RX V6A with the new smart TV which the HTR 5930 does not have. E-ARC connections is superior. Thanks Yamaha & Best Buy

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.

Every thing is great, i like the way is working strong and save power mode.

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.

I previously owned a Pioneer Elite, and this receiver is just as good as the previous one. Music is a 10/10, and movies are "excellent."

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!

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.

!st off, you need to get to know how to use a unit like this. Set up is not that hard. just takes a little time to do it right. The unit needs to be played for at least 2-3 hours before you really start to tweek the EQ, surround sounds, ect. Need to let it warm up and settle a little. After that I then began to set my sound the way I wanted it. It can be a little bright at first that is why you need to warm up and then set it like you want. I am running Thiel CS-2 for the front, B&W sub, JBL center, Older Radio Shack for the rear. Sound is clear from my Roku.(XM I Heart,ect). Films that have a lot of action boom and sizzle. Again it is how you set it up. Records? I run a Little Bear tube pre-amp and they sound plenty good. You really can't go wrong with this unit. It depends what you are looking for.

The price was a little high in my opinion for this receiver. I set it up correctly several issues one you have to put it in party mode to get stereo sound or a fuller sound . When I would turn the TV on the system would go on automatically for me. I enjoy that the problem was the receiver would go full volume. It would be screaming at you with whatever was going on TV did not like that at all. When the volume was set where I liked it, it was a crisp sound as long as it was in party mode I did not like having to always push buttons to make this thing work at $800. It should be a little bit more plug-in play I can get a wireless surround sound system sound bar for 300 that does a better job
