Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the sound quality, ease of use, and the numerous HDMI inputs of the AVENTAGE RX-A2A receiver. Many also appreciate the powerful performance and relatively easy setup process. However, some users found the online manual difficult to navigate and the remote control less than ideal. The MusicCast feature and other advanced options were also highlighted as positive aspects.

    Great Reciever

    Got this as an Excellent Open Box quality item. Saved ~$100 and has the same factory warranty. Works great and sounds perfect. Wasn't missing any accessories. Spent a lot of time looking between Yamaha and Denons. A bonus to the Yamaha over the Denons is the ability to use Zone2 for another room or outdoor speakers. I use it as 7.1 + Zone2 in my shop/shipping area with a Crown 1502 running my subs with no issues. Zone2 can be used to power a set of outdoor speakers or another reciever if wanted. YPAO works well too. Plenty of power and I love the MAX volume setting. I have it set to -10db myself to prevent someone overdriving speakers accidentally. Dead quiet with no hiss or hums at all. The bluetooth connects automatically when you enable it and the remote can even control the media and skip, pause etc so if your streaming from a phone you don't have to keep unlocking it. Little tip. If you use a pro amp with it, make sure its plugged into the same strip as your reciever and TV to prevent any ground loop hum. If you do get any humming then unplug the HDMI and see if it goes away. Most likely coming from the connection to the cable box/TV. It should be dead silent. Most of the time the cable companies don't ground the coax cables right.

    Crisper clearer sound paired with Klipsch

    Probably should give 4.5 stars. Except for a sorry install manual that has you searching several hundred pages and multiple places to solve or correctly program one function it would be a true 5 stars. Plenty of power for a mid level all Klipsch ATMOS setup. Use the auto set up microphone to get speaker distance and crossover calibration and fine tune to your preferences. The dialog lift settings put the voice dead center of the TV.

    Bought this to replace a Denon 2112ci that had one channel go out. I decided to buy based on reviews and the warranty which is 3 years plus an additional 2 years through a Yamaha special offer on its website. Spent an inordinate amount of time setting it up in my home theater due to the very poor 350+ page on line manual. Easy to use once set up. OWhen I first connected my cable box to the hdmi 2 input some tv channels were scrambled. Switching to another hdmi input resolved that issue. Some options in the Scene set up menu have no explanation. The remote is well designed except not backlit. IMO the sound is not as warm as what came out of my Denon but I'm already getting used to it. After the ypao set up I felt like significant surround sound speaker adjustments were necessary. It has lots of power.

    My second Yamaha receiver. Works very well for surround sound system, and separate audio in remote room. Gives plenty of power for sub and 5 channels of the system. Was available and would allow Sirius/XM to be pulled from the Internet (with subscription). Less expensive than some other choices.

    Outstanding mid-range AV receiver! Setup was easy to convert in our media room. Sound calibration and channel tests were a 1st time success. Powerful!

    This appears to be a very powerful unit. I would give it 5 stars if it included a detailed manual on all of its uses. If you’re a novice then I’d probably not recommend this as you’ll be spending a lot of time on the internet researching “how to’s.”

    Yamaha RX A2A receiver has enough power to work all my home theatre speakers and towers plus the OLED TV. Design is sleek and remote control is easy to use. Interfaces well with Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney +. Price was a bit high but not as expensive as other Yamaha models.
