  • Key Specs
    • Number of Channels: 5.1 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • Video Pass-through: 2160 (4K) (Devices with this feature allow video signals to travel from their source to a target device without alteration. For example, a receiver with 4K pass-through would allow 4K video signal from a Blu-ray player to pass to a target TV with surround sound; without the pass-through ability, the receiver would not allow both 4K video and surround sound to be transmitted simultaneously.)
    • Works With: Amazon Alexa (Compatible with or able to be connected to other smart devices or applications.)

The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: DTS:X, Dolby Atmos (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
    • Maximum Sampling Rate Supported: 5.6 MHz (DSD 128) (Generally, the higher the sampling rate, the greater the quality of audio and/or video.)
    • Speaker A/B Switching: false (Allows a user to select between one of two sets of primary speakers.)
    • Supported File Formats: AIFF, ALAC, Apple Lossless, DSD, FLAC, MP4, WAV, WMA

Q: My multi-zone Harman Kardon currently supports my 5.1 as my main home theatre, and a pair of speakers hardwired on my deck as zone 2. One of the zone 2 channels has gone out and I want to know if this Yamaha will support this set up?

A: Yes, you can do zone 2 configuration with the 5.1, I have mine set that way. Also with the MusicCast, or control app, you can control the volume, etc from your phone for both channels and up to 9 additional channels using remote MusicCast speakers or amps.

Q: I have a Sony receiver currently and have extremely hard time understanding the dialogues in movies. I have fine tuned everything but nothing has helped. How is this receiver for watching movies especially understanding the dialogues?

A: Answering my own question after finally purchasing the receiver. It DID fix the dialogues issue and now all the movies sound crystal clear. Totally recommend this receiver to anyone struggling to hear the movies properly.

Q: I guess my question is more general, because the last answer was not helpful at all. Can a Receiver with "minimum impedance at 8 Ohms" safely use 6 Ohm speakers? Or, must all speakers used on a "minimum 8 Ohm impedance" be 8 Ohm rated speakers?

A: Think of ohms as resistance; higher the number the more resistance, so the answer is you can use the amp but be careful because the lower the ohms the more power the speaker will receive therefore with that being said it would be easy to cook your speakers. if you disconnect your 8 ohm speakers from your amplifier and connect 4 ohm speakers, then the resistance goes down. Less resistance lets more current flow and so the amplifier will have deliver more power to the speakers

Q: Does this support Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma yet, or is it still waiting on a firmware update?

A: Yes it is compatible with Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log. It is already been release on their recent firmware release.

Q: Can I listen to two different inputs in separate zones?

A: Yes you can but limited to a set number. I would download the manual that shows which ones for Zone 2 to double check your application. In general it can't play HDMI unless you match Zone 1. Zone 1 can play anything.
