Fully immersive sound
With multi-channel Dolby and DTS sound, the Yamaha RX-V4A delivers an enveloping sound that soundbars simply can’t match. Taking this further, Yamaha’s unique Cinema DSP 3D system offers 17 DSP programmes for a huge variety of soundscapes. From concert halls to music clubs around the world, Cinema DSP recreates unique acoustics for that feeling of ‘being there’.
Powerful precision
For precise, dynamic sound, the Yamaha RX-V4A uses a high slew rate amplifier. Ideal for HiRes music and home cinema, the amp powers your music or soundtracks with gusto – keeping you on the edge of your seat during action movies or gaming, and totally bewitched by your favourite music. This design of amplifier can be tricky to optimise, but Yamaha’s unique design achieves dynamic scale while also maintaining a stable signal transmission.
Surround sound, untied
For an easy way to reduce cabling, the RX-V4A offers the option of wireless rear speakers. Combine this receiver with the Yamaha MusicCast 20 or MusicCast 50 speakers and you can leave aside speaker cable connections. Perfect if you have a solid floor and struggle to hide speaker cable or if you simply want a cleaner style, wireless surround speakers cut down on the clutter.
Compatible with the next generation of high resolution – 8K*
Featuring a dedicated, 8K compliant HDMI input and matching output, this Yamaha AVR is ready for the next generation of TV. If you’ve not yet made the jump to 8K TV, the socket also handles up to 4K/120Hz signals, for the highest quality pass through. Upscaling to UHD 4K is also standard. *via firmware update.
Supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+*
Using a 4/1 (in/out) HDMI interface, the RX-V4A supports your full system. It also supports a wide range of High Dynamic Range video formats. These include Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It also supports HDR10+, which enhances picture realism by sending dynamic Meta data to your TV. *via firmware update.
Game on*
The latest HDMI support also marks a big improvement in gaming. 4K/120Hz and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support maximise resolution and clarity. Quick Frame Transport (QFT) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) help eliminate lag and frame tearing, giving you a smoother, more responsive gaming experience. *via firmware update.
MusicCast for music all around your home
The Yamaha RX-V4A is part of Yamaha's hugely impressive network audio system, MusicCast. With MusicCast you control all your compatible Yamaha MusicCast products via your smartphone or even Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant by voice*. Play the same music on all the components or split the sound into different zones for different moods in each room; the choice is yours. The MusicCast CONTROLLER app lets you operate the system around your home and change settings quickly and easily. *requires third party Alexa or Google device.
Stream the best music services
Compatible with Amazon Music, Spotify Premium, Pandora, Napster, Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz, the RXV4A is fully equipped for your favourite music streaming service. With Tidal and Qobuz already offering higher resolution playback, it’s now possible to find a streaming service that at least matches the quality of CD and, in some cases, even improves upon it.
Advanced networking including Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth
As well as MusicCast, the RX-V4A is also compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, letting you stream music from your Apple iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad or other compatible Apple device, wirelessly, around your home. Just ask Siri where you want the music to play. For a quick and easy connection with your smartphone, use the Bluetooth connection for easy music streaming.
Sleek new style
If you’re used to AV receivers being all bulk and buttons, the RX-V4A will come as a pleasant surprise. Rounded edges give a softer, less imposing style. Yamaha has also kept the button count to a minimum, giving this AVR a much cleaner and fresher aesthetic.
For the best in cinema-style entertainment, stay at home with the Yamaha RX-V4A.

Amazing Service
I recently i bought a Sony AV Receiver, but it didn't work as expected. Thankfully the service provided by Watford Richer Sounder was second to none - especially Nigel who was able to source a Yamaha alternative from another branch and deal with the exchange very efficiently. I will always recommend making a purchase from Richer Sounds !

Quality Product with fine sound
I bought this recently. Although the basic setup is not that difficult the range of options means that there are still unexplored possibilities. I am presently running it in stereo mode but I fully intend to explore surround sound. I am running it with KEF speakers and the sound is stunning in that it is revealing, powerful and relaxed. Still exploring but very impressed. I wish it came with a printed manual which would make it easier to find out all the possibilities.

Excellent for the price
I have now had this set up for a week now, it has bought the sound from my tv to a new level, a much more enjoyable experience, the room is full of sounds especially when watching the blue ray version of the new Top Gun movie with planes going from left to right and front to back

Great Sound
I purchased this to replace an broken pioneer only because of pioneer supply issues. I was worried about the unit having never had any Yamaha equipment before. I shouldn’t have worried, it is an excellent piece of kit. Great sound with a good punch!

Great spread of features for TV, gaming and music.
I've had this for almost 2 years, used as a 2.1 home theatre, music listening, streaming, radio, TV etc. It's a great bit of kit, but the app whilst functional isn't intuitive. It doesn't help that the app has changed with updates. Sound quality seems good, but hard to judge as I have LS50 wireless in another room and you can only compare with similar speakers in the same room!
Strenghts of the Yamaha RXV4A:7
Very easy setup.
Very flexible and reliable.
Compatible with 120Hz passthrough.
Plenty powerful enough.
Could better:
- App consistency
- The new price!

Does it all very well.
I bought this receiver as an upgrade on a 20 year old receiver. Although this is entry level it is more than adequate for my ears. Does all that I need with great sound. Very easy to set up, simple connections and the MusicCast app is easy to use. The only thing I haven’t done with this yet is set up my turntable. Although there is no phono stage a pre amp should suffice. The online instructions are also easy to follow. I particularly like the dab tuner and net radio (I’m easily pleased). Very happy indeed.

The amp of the future
Brought this to replacing my ageing 12 year Pioneer amp which did not support modern features such as 4k and HDR. This beauty does everything and looks good doing it. Even further proofed as you can send the amp back to Yamaha for a free 8k board upgrade. Now that's service! Looks brilliant sitting next to my Yamaha sub

solid kit
Despite costing 3x what i paid for my sony 540 av amp 7 years ago it wasn't a quantum leap in sound quality but it is better - that's just a function of how the price of stuff has gone up in that time I suppose. It's well built and the arc seems to work with my samsung tv, unlike the sony which never did, meaning i had to wire it with an optical cable for sound and connect the set top box directly to the tv - so it's nice to have proper functionality. The settings are pretty broad - you can adjust everything - though it isn't at all difficult to set up. Music sounds very good with DPLII Music. My speakers are definitely being driven harder - that i would say is the big difference. There is more punch to the bass and the amp doesn't seem to be even trying to throw out sofa shaking deep rumbles that I never got from my sony and separation is better and cleaner - dialogue is much brighter. All in all, very happy, great amp.
