  • Key Specs
    • Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 110 watts x 7 channels @ 8 ohms
    • Number of Channels: 7.2 (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.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 2 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
    • Audio Only Inputs: 4 x Analog audio, 2 x 3.5mm audio, 1 x Phono
    • Network Connector(s): 1 x LAN
    • Video Pass-through: HDR, 2160 (4K), 3D (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.)
    • Maximum Supported Resolution (Video Passthrough): 2160p (4K) (The highest video resolution supported by the device for passing through video to another device.)
    • Audio/Video Outputs: 1 x HDMI (The number and type of HDMI outputs the product has.)
    • Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)

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.)
    • High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. 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.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 2 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
    • Number of Audio Zone Source Outputs: 2 (Multiple source outputs from the receiver mean different speakers are able to receive different sound sources from the receiver or preamp/processor. For every output, a different sound source can be accessed simultaneously in different zones. For example, two source outputs could be a streaming media player in one room and a Blu-ray player in another.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: DTS 96/24, DTS Neo:6, DTS:X, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby TrueHD (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.)
    • Supported File Formats: WAV, WMA, AAC, AIFF, MP3, FLAC, ALAC
    • DSP Modes: 17 (Available sound modes that alter how the audio is processed and played back. A common example is a mode that allows stereo audio to be played on all available surround sound speakers, creating a simulated surround sound effect.)
    • Equalizer: true (Allows for the control of different frequencies within an audio signal, such as adjusting treble and bass levels.)
  • Inputs
    • Audio Only Inputs: 4 x Analog audio, 2 x 3.5mm audio, 1 x Phono

Product Manuals

Q: How many watts RMS per channel?

A: 110 rms 7.2 very very clear & loud just like my last yamaha receiver which was 110 rms as well but this new receiver is a little bit stronger

Q: I'd like to know the big difference between the Yamaha RX A780 and the RX V685 other than power. I'm trying to decide between the two.

A: It has little bit more to offer and the advantage series is a good one it has lots of power and more there's a lot of receivers even the top of the line ones but this one I won't trade for anything it does it's job

Q: Do I need to go to TV, or can I go directly to AV?

A: There only needs to be a single HDMI cable from Receiver to TV. All other sources can go to the Receiver. If your TV HDMI input is ARC capable (Audio Return Channel) then the TV's built in apps such as streaming will play audio back to the Receiver over the HDMI cable

Q: Can you set a volume control, so the speakers will only get so loud?

A: You can set a maximum volume 'loudness' control and set a volume level the receiver will power up at.

Q: Are there no bare wire connections with this receiver, and if not what do I do with the bare wires that are in place?

A: You can use bare speaker wire. The terminals unscrew and the wire can be through a hole and then tightened. I personally put banana plugs on all of my speaker wires which make it so much easier to connect to a receiver

Q: What speakers do you recommend for this receiver?

A: Klipsch work great on my receiver

Q: Does receiver have an app to use on your phone to control sound and such?

A: Yes it does and the app can control many of the features not just volume. Look for "Yamaha Av Control" app on Google or the apple app store , they have images of what it looks like.

Q: I have a 8k q900 tv. Can I use this reciever with it and will it affect the quality of the picture if I'm running my cable box through it.

A: This receiver can 'pass through' 4k video information only. If you want 8k, you'll have to go from cable box straight to tv with hdmi. I dont think there's any 8k content available yet anyway (6/2020).
