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!

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

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.

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 got this product in Black Friday for my brother in law. I installed it and it worked but when using it with the Apple TV app it shuts down when it comes to watching certain movies that use a specific format. I wish this already had the most current firmware update but I have to download it and install it. It also didn’t come with the remote since it was an open box product.

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.

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.

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.

connection was a breeze and use is easy. Our old AV receiver stopped powering some of our surround speakers and this one was bought to fix that issue. Works perfectly!

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.

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.
