If a new A/V receiver is on your list of home theater upgrades, check out Yamaha's RX-V6A. It offers a fresh design, easy app control, and enticing features for movie lovers, gamers, and music enthusiasts alike. Use the RX-V6A as part of a high-performance home theater system. Ideal for a Dolby Atmos system The seven-channel RX-V6A is ideal for powering a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos or DTS:X™ system — that's the traditional five speakers and subwoofer configuration, plus a pair of upward-firing or in-ceiling speakers for overhead effects. Advanced video processing for movies and more Yamaha made sure the RX-V6A is compatible with the latest video technology. Three of its HDMI inputs support 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz content — perfect for high-quality sources like a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, a next-gen gaming system, or an Apple TV. (The other four inputs support 4K/60 content.) Enjoy music from a variety of sources You get plenty of options for playing music, too.

You can even play high-resolution tracks from a USB thumb drive or networked computer. As a bonus, the RX-V6A supports wireless multi-room music playback when paired with additional MusicCast components.
