A sleek receiver that’s loaded with fun

My very first home theater receiver was a Yamaha, and I had an absolute blastwatching moviesand playing video games with it. If I was starting a new system today, I’d take a good look at theAVENTAGE RX-A2A.

This sleek, vibration-damped receiver has everything you need for fun, riveting home entertainment. It’s alsosimple to operate, thanks to Yamaha’s superb control app for your phone or tablet.

Ideal for a Dolby Atmos system

The seven-channel RX-A2Ais ideal for poweringa5.1.2 Dolby Atmosor DTS:X™ system —that’s the traditional five speakers and subwoofer configuration, plus a pair of upward-firing or in-ceiling speakers for overhead effects.

Advanced video processing for movies and more

Yamaha made sure the RX-A2A is compatible with the latest video technology. All seven of itsHDMI inputs support 4K content at 60 frames per second— perfect for high-quality sources like a 4K Bluray player or Apple TV.

A free future firmware update will also enable support for 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz content.

Surround sound made simple

Yamaha has a solution for rooms that don’t easily support running wire to surround speakers, and it’s awesome.Use their MusicCast 50 or MusicCast 20 wireless speakers as your surround channels, and skip running speaker wire across your room.(You’ll still need to connect the speakers to AC power.)

Enjoy music from a variety of sources

You get plenty of options for playing music, too.Stream tunes from your phone or tablet through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or AppleAirPlay 2. Or, use thebuilt-in phono input to connect your turntable.You can even play high-resolution tracks fromaUSB thumb drive or networked computer.

As a bonus, the RX-A2A also supports wireless multi-room music playback when paired with additional musicCast componments.
