NEXT-GEN YAMAHA AVRS

Yamaha, which is a world leader in the audio-video receiver category, has released two new RX-V receivers that support the new era of 8K, HDMI 2.1 and HDR10+ dynamic display technologies.

The two new models are the 5.1-channel, 80-watt per channel RX-V4A and the 7.1-channel 100-watt per channel RX-V6A. “No other AV receiver on the market offers as many 8K HDMI inputs as Yamaha as of today, with three on the RX-V6A (seven inputs in total) and all four inputs on the RX-V4A,” said Boyd Gill of Yamaha Music Australia. “So you get stunning visuals along with the authentic True Sound that Yamaha is uniquely positioned to understand and re-create, to put you in the centre of the action, be it an immersive movie, a live concert or an ultimate gaming experience.”

Yamaha says that its advances to the RX-V line-up in 2020 are the most significant to date and include a simplified, modern, bold exterior design with a new, high-resolution LCD display and a jog dial with touch-sensitive buttons. HDMI 2.1 provides faster, smoother and uninterrupted entertainment and gameplay with auto low latency mode (ALLM), variable refresh rates (VRR), quick frame transport (QFT) and quick media switching (QMS).

Both models offer the entire suite of MusicCast capabilities and app control including Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, built-in music streaming services TIDAL and Deezer, multi-room audio and voice control via Alexa, Google and Siri-enabled devices. Wireless MusicCast 20 and MusicCast 50 can optionally be paired and used as surrounds in a 5.1-channel setup.

All inputs on the RX-V4A and RX-V6A support Dolby Vision, with the RX-V6A adding DTS-X, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation. Available now, the Yamaha RX-V4A sells for $899 (RRP) and the Yamaha RX-V6A for $1,299 (RRP).
