🔊 Enhance Your Audio Experience with YAMAHA RX-V4A 5.2-Channel AV Receiver and MusicCast Integration Review

Ignore Other Reviews! Firmware just updated, this receiver supports Full HDR10+ and 4K passthrough over HDMI!

Could be more compact and the UI needs improvement to make better use of the graphical elements that could be added to things like the speaker configuration. There is still no 4k120 firmware and no reason why they can't add support for Dolby Atmos in v4a like v6a.

It was reported that the wrong chip was installed. HDMI 2.1 does not get through even with a firmware update. PS5, XBOX Series X and Series 30 cards send an uncompressed signal. These AVRs do not transmit an uncompressed signal because the hardware does not support it. don't be like me Wait for the update when it is confirmed to work correctly with the next generation.

I was looking for something that would allow simultaneous streaming alongside other devices I own. This isolates itself from the rest of the real world products working together in a connected home. This technique is rubbish. The system is a good receiver, but not worth the additional price of a connected system. To update:. Now the sound cuts out every 30-60 seconds. Crazy at least.

Many people want a $2,000 unit from a low to mid range receiver. You want audiophile quality? Throw a zero at the end of the prize. We bought this to replace our (still running) 20 year old Panasonic receiver. We needed an HDMI hub, we wanted a better connection, a better connection to our subwoofer and it would be nice to add a few new features. And we are delighted with the quality. It's pure and clear. The configuration options are huge and really let you customize the sound you want…

Receiver paired with Sony X900H via Zeskit 8k cable, works with PS5 (direct to A/V via port 3 eArc) and Xbox Series X (port 4 HDMI 2.1) eArc A: The functionality is broken and hopefully can be fixed in a firmware update. In some TV applications, the sound is interrupted between 1 second and 30 seconds (can be an interval of 15 minutes or an hour or more). Audio dropouts are said to work at 4k 60hz. Switching to the TV's speakers confirms that the audio doesn't drop out, and that only happens…

I'm improving it but so far I'm very impressed. Be sure to download and use the MusicCast app for ease of use and customization. It took me several attempts to connect. The MusicCast app makes it easy to set everything up. Each input has a number of settings that you can adjust. My new X900H found the receiver automatically and guided me through the integration process. I can easily play music on my iPad via Bluetooth on the receiver. The device itself is much larger than my V373 and is glossy…

First of all, I would like to say that I am not a music lover. I'm not interested in post-processing effects, sound zones or the support of various streaming services. I have a decent 5.1 speaker setup and just want all of my other devices including the PS4, Nintendo Switch, gaming PC and Blu-ray player to play surround sound properly. Before purchasing I had a rats nest of splitters and switches wired together to toggle between them all but it never worked the way I wanted it to so I decided…
