A fresh front-panel design with intuitive controls

Like many of our customers, I've spent this past year maximizing my at-home entertainment experience. If a new A/V receiver is on your list of home theater upgrades, check out Yamaha's RX-V6A. Itoffers a fresh design, easy app control, and enticing features for movie lovers, gamers, and music enthusiasts alike.

Ideal for a Dolby Atmos system

The seven-channel RX-V6Ais ideal for poweringa5.1.2 Dolby Atmosor DTS:X™ system —that's the traditional five speakers and subwoofer configuration, plus a pair of upward-firing or in-ceiling speakers for overhead effects.

Advanced video processing for movies and more

Yamaha made sure the RX-V6A is compatible with the latest video technology. Each of its seven HDMI inputs support 4K content at 60 frames per second— perfect for high-quality sources like a 4K Bluray Player or an Apple TV.

A free future firmware update will also enable support for 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz content.

Surround sound made simple

Yamaha has a solution for rooms that don't easily support running wire to surround speakers, and it's awesome.

Use their MusicCast 20 or MusicCast 50 wireless speakers as your surround channels, and skip running speaker wire across your room.(You'll still need to connect the speakers to AC power.)

Enjoy music from a variety of sources

You get plenty of options for playing music, too.Stream tunes from your phone or tablet through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or AppleAirPlay 2. Or, use thebuilt-in phono input to connect your turntable.You can even play high-resolution tracks fromaUSB thumb drive or networked computer.

As a bonus, the RX-V6A supports wireless multi-room music playback when paired with additional musicCast components.It's alsosimple to operate, thanks to Yamaha's superb control app for your phone or tablet.
