Yamaha helps bring movies and more to life
The level of creative detail in today's blockbuster movies and award-winning TV series is incredible. A high-performance home theater receiver like Yamaha's AVENTAGE RX-A6A can help bring those vibrant images and immersive sound effects to life in your room.
The RX-A6A offers advanced A/V processing, robust amplification, and exceptional room calibration. It's also simple to operate, thanks to Yamaha's superb control app for your phone or tablet.
An "H-shaped" cross frame design adds additional stability to the chassis while reducing vibrations.
Ideal for a Dolby Atmos system
The nine-channel RX-A6A is ideal for powering a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos or DTS:X™ system — that's the traditional five speakers and subwoofer configuration, plus two pairs of upward-firing or in-ceiling speakers for overhead sound effects.
Advanced video processing for movies and more
Yamaha made sure the RX-A6A is compatible with the latest video technology. All seven of its HDMI inputs support 4K/60Hz content — perfect for high-quality sources like a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player or an Apple TV.
Enjoy 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 Apple AirPlay 2. Or, use the built-in phono input to connect your turntable. You can even play high-resolution tracks from a USB thumb drive or networked computer.
As a bonus, the RX-A6A also supports wireless multi-room music playback when paired with additional MusicCast components.
