Yamaha claims this is more 2.1 ports than any other brand, and the inputs offer such goodies as auto low latency mode and quick media switching.
#YAMAHA SERIAL NUMBER DECODER FOR RECEIVERS PC#
It includes seven HDMI inputs, three of which are 8K-compatible HDMI 2.1 ports ports designed to support the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and PC graphics cards such as the Nvidia RTX 3090. This receiver couldn't be "the future" without a thoroughly up to date spec sheet and the RX-V6A doesn't skimp.
I prefer the LED readouts found on competitors. It's off-centered so if you're sitting off to the left it's more difficult to read, even at maximum brightness. The front houses a centered volume control and high-res LCD display that looks smart but isn't all that bright. The edges are curved in a way I've never seen before, but it doesn't look ostentatious. The Yamaha RX-V6A's rounded, glass-like fascia is a real departure from the black shoe boxes of Sony, Denon and Onkyo. I'm hopeful that the RX-V6A is the spark that ignites a rethink on AV receivers and helps bring the category back into the mainstream. It's got some more quirks - the speaker outputs are arranged in an unusual order and that LCD display is harder to read than an LED - but overall this Yamaha is simply more fun than its competitors. I have tested both the upgraded and existing receivers and can advise that the new version is 4K/120Hz compatible. If users want to check compatibility on their own unit they can do so via this online tool. Yamaha says the models on sale should now be compatible, and the company will be replacing the HDMI boards for older versions in early 2022. This midpriced receiver RX-V6A offers Dolby Atmos playback and plenty of music replay options too, making it as comfortable with an episode of Hawkeye as it is with an impromptu dance party.īefore I get into the review proper, I do need to mention that late '20/early '21 versions of the Yamaha RX-V6A had a bug preventing them from playing 4K/120Hz material.
Looks aren't anything without the performance to back them up, and the RX-V6A served up great sound quality in my listening test.
