Feel Your Walls Melt Away. The A4A delivers realistic sound and video that transports you out of your home and into your favorite movie. Whether you~re watching, listening or gaming, you~ll feel completely immersed. Works with Sonos! Unite your Yamaha home theater with a Sonos system using a Sonos Port, sold separately. After a quick setup, the Sonos app can seamlessly power on the receiver, select a designated input and control the volume.

Great amp with a bit of a learning curve.
By CapnFantasy
This replaced my roughly 20 year old Yamaha RX-V630, which was state of the art at the time for having Dolby Pro Logic II...! Of course this RX-A4A sounds better in every conceivable way using roughly the same speaker set up. I've had a few issues with Atmos not working here and there, and passthrough audio from the Xbox can be a bit buggy at times. Yamaha support has been helpful, and were able to recreate a recurring issue with HBOMax audio dropping out for mysterious reasons which, to be fair, is more the app's fault than the receiver's. However, a 'dumber' amp wouldn't/didn't have this problem.
Pros:
- Exceptional sound
- No video issues whatsoever
- Little discernible difference between the Surround AI 'upgrading' the signal to Atmos and an actual Atmos signal
- Oodles of inputs
- YPAO is a good starting point and is oddly satisfying to sit through
- Sharp unit, if not big at 35 lbs
- Loads of options that are quality of life stuff, like starting volume level, separate zones + "party mode", being able to turn off inputs so you don't cycle through a bunch you don't use, renaming inputs, etc.
- Music Cast + Enhancer ON = Streaming music not sounding like hot garbage through your home theater
- The various music scenes are actually cool, particularly the Bottom Line
- Passthrough mode enables you to route the video signal through the receiver while it's in standby. Useful for playing a game late at night with headphones through your controller; no need for the amp to be on and muted, or have headphones through the amp.
- Yamaha support actually cares
Cons
- Can't seem to find a (cheap) universal remote or way to actually turn the receiver on other than the included remote or the unit itself. Turning off and volume = no problem with just about anything
- The options menu sometimes won't appear
- Initial HDCP delays with Google CCwGTV,
- Depending on the input, going into the receiver's settings can essentially kick you out of the program
- Can take a few seconds for the audio signal to adjust and actually play (ymmv but I still haven't gotten used to this)
- You'll refer to this quite often when setting up: https://manual.yamaha.com/av/20/rxa4a/en-US/

Finally works great after firmware updates....

I bet it works less buggy after the recent firmware updates. Make sure to get them from the website if your AVR didn't update automatically. I know it fixed all my Dolby Vision/Atmos issues

Get clean, accurate audio with this Memphis Audio car speaker. The PEI dome tweeter and multidirection pivot tweeter system produce impressively detailed audio, and the polyurethane surround helps reduce distortion. This Memphis Audio car speaker is easy to install in most cars and delivers up to 80W of high-fidelity sound.Geek Squad~ Installation RecommendedVisit your local Best Buy store for more information.
 

what is the surround made of? Is it rubber, foam or fabric?

Take your workout to the next level with Powerbeats~ Wireless earphones, featuring up to 12 hours of battery life to last through multiple workouts and secure-fit earhooks to maximize comfort and stability. With Fast Fuel, a 5-minute charge gives you 1 hour of playback. Sweat and water resistance provides trusted durability and dual-driver acoustics deliver dynamic sound to power your workout.
 

How comfortable are these ? A lot of earbuds hurt my ears.

At first I thought they were very uncomfortable. but then after doing some research and finding out that I missed something in the manual that says they are adjustable they are now very comfortable.

If you find that they hurt your ear and have too much pressure when you put them on first you can grab the base of the rubber ear hook it is stiff but malleable. You can twist and adjust until you get just the right comfort and fit it's perfect!.

I thought I was going to have to return them and I am very glad that I found a post on Reddit that explained it. I feel stupid for not reading the manual.
