Yamaha RX-V6A 7.2-Channel 8K AV Receiver

At number two in this guide, the Yamaha RX-V6A is a 7.2-channel AV receiver listed at £599.00 and rated 4.3 from 69 ratings. Its wattage is the part of the fiche that holds together: "Output Power", "Wattage" and "Output Wattage" all say 160 W, where the RX-V4A further down this guide gives two different figures inside one table. The HDMI count is single-sourced as well — "Total HDMI Port: 7" — and the channel count of 7 matches the 7.2 surround configuration.

The number that does not hold together is the review count. The listing states 69 ratings; the star histogram beside it lists 72 five-star, 11 four-star, 4 three-star, 4 two-star and 9 one-star votes, which totals 100 — and it is that 100 that produces the 4.3 shown. Nine of those votes are one-star, and the 69 in the header cannot account for them. The spec table also carries no row for any of the headline video claims in the bullet — 8K/60, 4K/120, QMS, ALLM, VRR, QFT — and includes "Control Method: Touch" and "Cinemanow" among supported internet services, which is what the feed says rather than what a receiver does. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing of our own.
