Our take on the Yamaha RX-V4A 5.2-Channel AV Receiver with MusicCast

The Yamaha RX-V4A is a 5.2-channel AV receiver built around HDMI 2.1: four inputs and one output pass 4K120 and 8K60, with HDCP 2.3 and eARC. It covers the basics of a modern home theater with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and Hybrid-Log Gamma passthrough, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding, and YPAO automatic room calibration. MusicCast, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and Alexa or Google Assistant voice control make it a capable music streamer as well as a movie hub. It sits at the entry level of Yamaha's HDMI 2.1 line, so it trades channel count and power against the step-up RX-V6A, which adds a second HDMI output and more amplification.

Pros
  • Four HDMI 2.1 inputs pass 4K120 and 8K60 for consoles and PCs
  • eARC sends uncompressed audio back from the TV on one cable
  • YPAO room calibration smooths speaker response in real rooms
  • MusicCast, AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect cover streaming from phones and services
  • Dolby Vision and HDR10 passthrough keep picture modes intact
Cons
  • Five channels and modest power per channel limit bigger rooms
  • Only one HDMI output, so no second-zone video

  • Early HDMI 2.1 boards needed a firmware update for full 4K120 and 8K support
  • On-screen setup menus are basic compared with pricier receivers

Questions and answers

Does the RX-V4A support 4K120 and 8K?
Yes. Its HDMI 2.1 inputs and output pass 4K120 and 8K60, with HDCP 2.3 and eARC. Early units needed a firmware update to enable the full bandwidth, so check the firmware version.
Is it worth it over the RX-V6A?
The RX-V6A adds a second HDMI output, more power and a seventh channel. If you need two displays, a 7-channel layout or more headroom, the step-up is the better fit; for a 5.1 or 5.2 room the RX-V4A covers the basics.
Does it decode Dolby Atmos?
No. It handles Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital and DTS-HD Master Audio, but not Atmos or DTS:X. For object-based audio you need a higher model.
Can I stream music to it?
Yes. MusicCast, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and services including TIDAL, Deezer, Qobuz and Amazon Music HD are built in, and Alexa or Google Assistant can control playback.
What speakers can it drive?
It is a 5.2-channel receiver with modest per-channel power, so it suits efficient bookshelf and floorstanding speakers in small to medium rooms. Very demanding speakers will expose its limits.
What is in the box?
The receiver, a remote, a calibration microphone for YPAO, an FM antenna and a power cord. Speaker wire and HDMI cables are not included.
