If a Wi-Fi router is not available, the unique Wireless Direct feature not only allows you to stream music directly from your smartphone or tablet via the AV Controller App, AirPlay etc., but also allows for control of the AV receiver as well.

MusicCast

MusicCast makes it easy to bring music to every room in your home wirelessly with playback controlled by a simple app. Start with a MusicCast capable AV receiver in your main entertainment room for the ultimate home theater experience, then add MusicCast speakers, sound bars or Hi-Fi components in other rooms wirelessly.


4K Ultra HD with HDCP 2.2 and HDR Support Enjoy 4K video at 60 frames per second (pass-through and video upscaling) with HDCP 2.2 that fully complies with the latest copyright protection, a standard for 4K video transmission. It also supports HDR* video which provides enhanced picture quality by simultaneously enabling greater detail for both the dark and bright parts of an image. *A future firmware update will be required to enable HDR.	High-resolution Audio This AV receiver is compatible with many audio formats such as Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio. It is also compatible with high-resolution audio codecs such as DSD / AIFF / FLAC / WAV / Apple Lossless. You will enjoy the excellent sound quality of these various high-resolution audio codecs from the USB input on the front panel or from network connected devices.	High-resolution Music Enhancer When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. The Compressed Music Enhancer in this model has the capability to process and restore compressed music (up to 96 kHz / 24-bit) further heightening the musicality of the original content.	Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Enter a new world of sound with Dolby Atmos. It transports you from an ordinary moment into an extraordinary experience with captivating, multidimensional sound that fills your room and flows all around you to move your mind, body, and soul. Additionally, enjoy DTS:X for the next generation object-based, multi-dimensional audio technology from DTS.


ESS Technology By incorporating the SABRE Premier Audio DAC from ESS Technology, an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio is achieved with up to 120 dB of dynamic range.	Symmetrical Amp Layout This is just one of the many design details that all combine to create a superior receiver. The interior of the unit has been precisely planned, circuit-routed and built so that the left and right channels are physically and electrically isolated. This naturally maximizes channel separation but also greatly improves signal to noise ratio and also helps to achieve a wide open sound stage.	Advanced HDMI Zone Switching While standard HDMI zone switching can only send HD video programs to the main and second zones, advanced HDMI zone switching from Yamaha adds the capability to choose from all audio and video sources for playback in either zone. An on-screen graphical user interface makes it easy to browse and select content to enjoy from the second zone no matter what is being played in the Main Zone.	YPAO - R.S.C. with Multipoint Measurement YPAO - Reflected Sound Control analyzes room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound in the listening area. It employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound.

Great AVR! Thank You Yamaha!

My Onkyo TX-NR818 was defective after only 2 years of use. They had a known issue with the HDMI circuit and customer service was poor to say the least. I decided to go with Yamaha after much experience with their products within the live music industry, and reading about the tech and engineering that was put into the AVENTAGE units. I also had Parasound 2100 and Emotiva XDA-2 preamps in my audio rack for 2ch listening. After installing the RX-A1050 connected to Emotiva XPA-2 and XPA-5 power amps I no longer need the Parasound 2100 and Emotiva XDA-2 preamps. I'm basically using this unit as a Pre-Pro. The sound of this unit is superior. The "Natural Sound" is legitimate and not just a gimmick. I've tried it with digital sources like CDs, movies and streaming music, as well as analog sources such as phono and tape. It all sounds really smooth and balanced. My Polk Audio LSI15s have never sounded better. This unit was easy to setup and use, and the AV Controller app is a very cool perk. Please note that I have acoustically treated my home theater room. It is very hard to judge any piece of audio equipment if the room pollutes the sound.

Happy with the product, so far.

Verified Purchase

I bought the RX-A1050 initially from Amazon and after installation, found out that the center and both front chanels did not have any signal, so I returned the product and requested for reimbursement instead of replacement because I found it in Bestbuy (Magnolia) for $100 less.
I thank Amazon for making the return of the product a hassle free experience.
After installing the 2nd unit, it worked great. Very good sound with a bunch of options.

No FF or REW for Audio Track Playback

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

Rich and rounded sound, and a myriad of configuration options, however, there's a showstopping UI issue that has me undecided on whether to keep it or return it.

When playing audio files from streaming media or an external device, for example, the USB interface, you can't rewind or fast forward through any particular track, you're limited to going back to the previous, or forward to the next track.

I discussed this with Yamaha customer support, and, they don't care about this engineering oversight. Pioneer, Denon, Marantz, Sony, and virtually every other manufacturer of A/V receivers build the ability to fast forward and rewind within a particular track with their UI's, but Yamaha does not, and is unapologetic about it, and does not plan to address this issue via a firmware upgrade, either.

So...I'm still debating. There might be a Roku workaround, but, at this price point, why should I have to?

BEWARE! I have had two of these Yamaha receivers ...

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

BEWARE! I have had two of these Yamaha receivers and both have had the same problem. The first one worked for about a month and Amazon replaced it when it quit. The second one worked for about six months. Specifically the Pandora and other streaming radio functions quit working after a short time. Considering the $1,200 cost for these units, the flaw is unacceptable and anyone who buys one will eventually have the same problem. This is junk and Yamaha should recall them all and replace them with units that work. But of course they will not do that and in fact do not even answer their customer service phone. So you have been warned. Buyer beware!!!!

Do you really get ATMOS?

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2016

I tell you.. The unit is packed with features. Setup is pretty straight forward. I does what it says it will do but here's where I have some issues:
1) Atmos enablement requires you to not use Zone 2 speakers which one of the reasons I bought the unit
2) Virtual ATMOS isn't allowed when using 5.1 configuration.
3) So when using Zone 2 there is no ATMOS which Sucks and almost kills the unit for me. I could purchase another AMP to power zone 2 but that defeats the purpose again. I'm really disappointed on this. Maybe when they provide reasonably priced Stereo MusiCast floor speakers this becomes a moot point, but right now I'm not going to recommend this unit. In fact the more I write about this the more I want to give it a 1 (one) star because of the price point. I can understand for a system that cost $500.00 to $800.0 but this is over a thousand dollars.
4) For this price point there should be some flexibility regarding Zone 2 and ATMOS configurability. You shouldn't have to choose between the two otherwise stop claiming you have ATMOS and Zone 2. You have one OR the other. Unless I'm missing something here.
5) HDMI with Playstation 3 does not decode Dolby when Dolby content is being played. (yes I made sure PS3 is setup correctly)

A Very Good A/V Receiver with All the Needed Features for Todays Home Theater

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

a little difficult to get their odd UI sorted out but I should have known owning a Yamaha BD player that it was designed with your mind in mind, and the 170-page manual is almost useless, it doesn't communicate that there is tied relationship between functions. but after getting it set up it is the best sounding A/V receiver, the automatic HDMI sense and ARC feature are great. the NET radio works great, the manual speaker setup is easy and accurate. for example all the "ENHANCER" settings have to be on to get 4K UHD video through the HDMI and the firmware update is needed and available for 10 bit 4K UHD to work with HDMI 2.
the automatic speaker EQ setup didn't work in my large room with center seating, but didn't need it, same problem with my old Pioneer Elite which over compensated for the room. the best feature is that it sounds like an accurate high end piece of HiFi gear, a little more power would have been nice, maybe 200 Watts per channel. if Yamaha made this unit as a unit less the amplifiers I could then buy more powerful power amplifiers.
