Key Features
Product Ref: 314995
"All that technology is backed up by an impressive sonic performance with sparklingly precise transients, crisp dialogue and a spacious, well-balanced soundstage. The A6A is one of the most responsive, clean and dynamic-sounding AVRs we’ve heard at this price."
Gaming with the RX-A6A at the heart of your setup is seamless. By downloading the latest firmware update, you can tap into the benefits of auto-low-latency-mode (ALLM), variable-refresh-rate (VRR), quick frame transport (QFT), and quick media switching (QMS). Such features contribute to game responsiveness, load speeds, and smooth transitions.
On your marks, get set up, go! An easy-to-follow AV setup guide app can lead you through the installation of your new Yamaha RX-A6A and resolve any confusion about cables and connectivity. The app can help you configure your AVR’s built-in settings and have you enjoying its many benefits in no time. A thorough user manual is also available to access and read online as an alternative source of information and guidance.
The RX-A6A features Yamaha’s own room calibration system, known as YPAO™—an abbreviation of Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimiser. While different levels of YPAO™ exist across Yamaha product models, the RX-A6A features a comprehensive package of features including 3D, reflective sound control (RSC), multi-point measurement, and 64-bit high precision EQ. Each of these contributes to a natural-sounding and thoroughly calibrated sound environment.
Play music in multiple rooms simultaneously, across an array of speakers, with all the controls in one place. That one place is the MusicCast app! The MusicCast app lets you customise the controls of different rooms of your home with personal photos so you can easily recognise and jump into the controls you need.
If you prefer to call out and command smart devices across your home, Yamaha’s RX-A6A is compatible with popular third-party AI devices such as Amazon’s Alexa or Google Assistant. Wirelessly pair your smart devices to get started with hands-free control.
Film and TV come to life with the latest HDMI 2.1 technology supporting 8K and 4K screen resolutions. Even if your screen isn’t 8K ready, your AVR will be ready to support it whenever you are. With 8K at 60 Hz, and 4K at 120 Hz refresh rate, motion transitions smoothly. HDR10+ enhances image contrast for a more realistic visual journey.
