PLZ CONFIRM RELEASE DATE. I AM INTERESTED THIS PRODUCT…

For entry-level, this is really a great unit. It almost seamless switches between four HDMI sources. It has a fair amount of future-ready features (namely for the new XBox and PS5). It has a ton of source and music streaming capability. But just know that most music streaming features are driven by either the Yamaha AV Controller app or the yamaha Musiccast app (both essentially the same, both for iOS or Android). So this unit doesn’t have native Deezer, Tidal, Spotify or Qobuz streaming built-in. It’s all driven by a phone app. That’s fine, quality-wise. But know that going in. You can’t just pick up the remote and switch to Tidal, unless you recently used Tidal on your Yamaha app. But with the remote you can set up favorite Internet radio stations. Other than that, this is a unit that will satisfy most people with a small lroom and a 2, 2.1, or 5.1 channel setup. It turns on when a source is powered on. It shuts off when the current source or TV is switched off. Features that used to be found in units costing $600 or more are now in a unit costing less than $400. It’s a great choice.

I bought the Yamaha RX-V4A 5.2 Channel as an addition my home surround system. Amazing equipment, quality, and overall performance.

This is an excellent AVR for the money. Excellent sound quality and adequate power for a medium sized room – unless you are a crazy enthusiastic gamer…. The Yamaha-styled software support may not be to everyone’s liking or as universally user friendly as some others. Also, this unit does not appear to be controllable with the Yamaha AV controller app, so that if you I wish it had a signal out feature to support biamping.

I have been a past customer, when my receiver bit the dust. Technology had passed me by, and I needed advice on something that would work with some of my older components that had new technology such as Bluetooth. Israel was great. I was able to share what I had and what my budget was and he helped me find The perfect product. It was easy to hook up, and with the app and chat room I was able to make it all work. Can’t wait for my husband to leave the house so that I can actually blast it.
