No AVR plays video files from USB. It can only play audio files. It will be helpful if you share your purpose of AVR (music/movies)

You can go with Yamaha RX-V485BL, it's retailing around 36K. It not only supports USB (audio files) but online streaming Services like Spotify.

Thanks Siddharth. I will be using the AVR primarily for music, so yes I am looking for an AVR which can directly play songs (audio) from USB. Can you suggest one?

Look if you can get hold of a Marantz NR1509 at about 35k, decent for music and has preouts for front left and right speakers which will allow you to invest in a dedicated power amp in future if needed.

Hi OM, thanks for the suggestion. I have checked the model suggested by you, but nowhere it is mentioned about USB support.

You can download the manual and check out supported file formats via USB.

The NR1609 should play WMA, MP3, WAV, Mpeg4 AAC, FLAC, ALAC and DSD
