One of the best receiver values around
If I was putting together a home theater on a budget, theYamaha RX-V4A would be on my short list of options to power it. This sleek 5.1-channel receiver gives you excellent picture and sound, easy app control, and the ability to add wireless surround speakers — all at a great price.
Advanced video processing for movies and more
Yamaha made sure the RX-V4A is compatible with the latest video technology. Each of its fourHDMI 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.
Stream 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. You can also play high-resolution tracks fromaUSB thumb drive or networked computer.
As a bonus, the RX-V4A 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.
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.)
