Usually its decoding issue with source and not avr. Its can be reading speed issue of source.

Hi folks, I am back after a while. Looking to purchase Yamaha V6a or A2A. I checked with Profx, they dont deal with Yamaha anymore. Can you all please share the dealer or contact where I can buy the receiver from?

Checked with HTstore and the dealers listed in the link - none seem to have it. Wonder if it is even worth looking for Yamaha? Need an AVR and have Yamaha A2A and Pioneer LX305 in my sight - hoping they both should cost mostly the same. (may be +/- 10k)

I’m not sure where to get either of them - but I’d been doing some comparisons between the same two models and found the LX-305 far ahead. It has 9 channels vs 7, and the A2A doesn’t support 40GBPS 8K, only 24GBPS. The LX-305 supports 40GBPS on 3 inputs. The LX-305 also has 2 zones video with the possibility of an independent zone 2. But what looks like the most exciting feature based on reviews is Dirac Live.
I don’t think the 305 has come to India yet, didn’t see it at the What HiFi show. A2A seems available on Ooberpad

Setup - I am using Dali zensor 1 BS speaker pair as front L/R (only 2 speakers for now). The speakers are being driven by Yamaha RX-V4A (80 Watt per channel in stereo). Setup is in a small bedroom (10.5 feet x 13.5 feet). Listening distance is ~9 feet. AVR is connected with Sony 55X7500H 4K android tv. Content is being played on apps like YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hotstar.
Query - I have to upp the AVR volume to between 22.5dB - 30dB for music as well as movies to have good sound level for movies and music. Is this expected from the setup or am I doing something wrong?

I have been using v6A for 2 years. I never had to go higher than -15 DB. Mostly it is set to between -22 and -25 DB. So i think there may be an issue. Could you check if the speaker cables are proper?

No issue as '0' is reference level.
Usually -20 is enough for loud sound. Again it depends on speaker impedance and sensitivity.

I am new to AVR and HiFi speakers (but know basic household wiring).
Currently the wiring looks ok. Not using banana plugs as of now. Can share pictures if needed.
I recently connected the speakers to the AVR using this wire.
Observations at different volume levels when I sit at a distance of ~8 feet (bedroom size 10.5 feet x 13.5 feet):
Mute - hear nothing
-80dB - hear nothing
-70dB - hear nothing
-60dB - start hearing something at very low volume (can't figure out what is playing)
-50dB - hear song at low volume
-40dB - hear song at low volume (greater than -50dB but still low)
-30dB - hear song at good volume (start enjoying stereo effect and bass)
-21.5dB - hear sound at loud volume
I have not gone above -21.5dB volume level even for testing thinking it may damage AVR or speakers.

Up to -10 , no issue unless speakers are playing too loud. You can set limit in volume setting say -10, so it won't cross that level.
Your AVR is fine. I have the same observation as yours. I have set my Yamaha AVR to automatically set the volume at -25dB when I switch on. IIRC some setting known as 'Initial Volume'
Hi, This is expected and I do listen in similar volume range ( -30db to -20db ).Nothing wrong in the setup.

Hey guys,
My 1 year old Yamaha RXV 6A, wouldn't start yesterday, the red led on front was blinking continously,
luckily found a video online to hard reset and it started for a few minutes and then again wouldnt start
It display flashed " DC PRT 029" &" A101 I protect"
Has anybody faced this issue on their yamaha AVR?
Now it wont start at all, the reset is also not working
What could be the reason for this, I had just updated it last week over wifi.
Also my speakers make a popping sound everytime I start the AVR, dont know if its related
TIA

Reset will not solve this issue. You have DC output in one of the channels. Because of this the protection circuit has kicked in to protect your speakers from getting fried. One of the output transistors has gone bad. Try to locate the service manual and you will find what exactly DC PRT 029 means.

Thanks for the reply
Was looking for the service manual online earlier, but was unable to find it, any pointers?
Also, the reciever is barely a year old, could it be a manufacturing issue?
will take it to the service centre and get their opinion
Then it will be under warranty. Get it fixed under warrantyThanks for the reply
