Surround Sound In A Small Room
After plugging in my Bluray, CD, MD, Roku, and the TV and placing the speakers, the last step was to "tune them to the room." My living room is small, and I feared the distance between the speakers would create trouble overlapping sounds. Following the online instruction and placing the tuning microphone, I played my first 5.1 DVD movie. What a theater experience I had. I could follow the sounds through my ears and track the voice as if they were in my small room.

One additional thought to add. This Yamaha receiver pairs well with the other components. On powering up, it automatically switches to the device I am using. Turning off my Sony TV or Blueray, the RX-V6A also switches OFF. Sweet.

My 1st Yamaha Receiver
Been using Onkyo receivers for the last 20 years. With how the last one died, I wanted something sturdy, dependable, high quality in every possible respect. Use mainly along with a Panasonic DP-UB820 and polk es50, es35, es20 speakers along with a Klipsch R121sw subwoofer. Musical taste is heavily progressive rock and jazz and classical. This receiver shines in every respect. And movies are unbelievable. Better experience than when I've been at the theater. Very clean sounding. This unit does it all effortlessly .

Excellent Improvement to home theater
Bought this to replace RX-A2010 because I wanted better connectivity. The A2010 performed flawlessly but was lacking in that regard. Was concerned that the RX-V6A was a step down in quality but have not noticed any drop off. Was convinced by many reviews of the product and so far completely agree this is an excellent home theater receiver.

I have always had a Yamaha receiver, but...
I have always loved the Yamaha receivers since the first analog one I bought. I use the receivers for everything from watching TV to movies to Playstation 2 thru 4 so far. I upgraded to this receiver about a year ago and have had troubles with the satellite TV. It flickers at times and takes a bit to get it to stop. I've tried different settings and can't get it to stop. I update regularly, but it still does it from time to time.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or have a fix for it?

Packed with features.
Love this feature rich AV receiver. Did a hw upgrade for the HDMI fix and since everything operates flawlessly. Frankly it packs a punch in feature set and will likely use a fraction of it but eager to explore. Great value too compared to comparably featured competitors.

This is a great Unit
My former YAMAHA Unit was great and 10 years old; it ran well until it started to die. So, I again chose a YAMAHA of equivalent capability. The Unit exceeds my old one in capability and versatility, but--VERY POOR Manual; VERY POOR MENU SYSTEM and hard to set up. One sentence per page manual; no index and sections do not relate. It is like a kid put it together and then translated to badly. Hard to ge my Logitec Universal remote to control it. It is very functional once you get past all the poor documentation--thankfully the YAMAGA HELP LINE was VERY GOOD. I would buy it again, but if you are not technically oriented, better have someone who can set it up!
