    If it is likely to affect your use case, xbox series if i'm not mistaken, it would be better to wait for correct unit rather than trust that a patch will release

      At least they have a physical store you can go to instead of shipping it back for warranty.

    If people want another retail store option and dont want to deal with Harvey Norman, I picked mine up for $1099 yesterday from Bing Lee with 24 months interest free.

    • Mechz on 07/04/2021 - 12:06

      So ~$100 interest then?

      • nedski on 07/04/2021 - 12:15

        Just giving people the option.

  • earth worm jim on 07/04/2021 - 09:48

    This reciever has really bad reviews. People claim listening fatigue etc. No deal.

    • strangeloops66 on 07/04/2021 - 11:37

      This reciever has really bad reviews

      You mean some really bad reviews amongst the mainly good review?

      Bestbuy 139 reviews, 4.2/5
      Crutchfield 40 reviews, 4.0/5

      Professional reviews?
      Ty Pendlebury from CNET gives it 4/5 and Dennis Burger from Hometheatrereview.com gives it 4.8/5

      1. This is not a high-end receiver.

      2. The listening experience is a complex mix of receiver, proper calibration, speakers and speaker placement and a myriad of other, idiosyncratic factors.

      • earth worm jim on 07/04/2021 - 12:12

        I saw this review which has it listed as pretty mediocre with sound performance thats close to low tier recievers. But yes it seems to have very polarised reviews elsewhere.

        https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/y…

        Most good reviews consider it good as a entry level reciever. The question is then should you be paying 1k for an entry level reciever.

        • tonyjzx on 08/04/2021 - 00:16

          $1,000 in aud is a low performance receiver sorry to say.

          Its about usd$600 and as low as $400 at us costco.

          Australia is a country that "hi-fI" is an expensive hobby and really, $1,000 aud buys you shit.

          This is from someone who has a "$1k" Onkyo and boy does it sound like something that costs $400 usd in the 'real world'.

          I think that unless you're willing to blow $3k on a receiver that is rapidly depreciating then you wont get "good" audio performance.

          Or go integrated amp or pre/power and forget this nonsense.

  • Foxtail on 07/04/2021 - 12:08

    Purchased my Yamaha and speakers from CHT good price delivered quickly.

  • loropy9 on 07/04/2021 - 16:49

    An off topic question. Is it simple to connect a wireless mic (the receiver unit) to this amplifier? Or is it a matter of finding whether the mic unit has the appropriate audio out to match the audio in for the mic on the amplifier?

    • strangeloops66 on 07/04/2021 - 20:27

      If your base unit has RCA red and white out, you just need an RCA to RCA cable. The RX-V6A does not have a 3.5mm input, so if your base unit does have a 3.5mm jack, you will need an adapter or a 3.5mm to RCA cable. What does the rear of your base unit look like? What's the model number?

      • loropy9 on 08/04/2021 - 00:27

        I haven’t bought the mic yet. The old one is Shure - it broke, and I’m looking to replace it together with the old pa amplifier. The old one has xlr on the base unit and on the pa amp.

  • syngen on 09/05/2021 - 15:16

    I currently have an Onkyo TX-NR545 with ATMOS 5.1.2, problem is that it doesn’t support Dolby Vision/HDR+

    I’m after something that can do 4K, HDR+, Dolby Vision and move up to ATMOS with a 7.1.2 configuration.

    Would the Yamaha RX-V6A fit the bill? Would it be considered an upgrade to my current Onkyo, or should I increase my budget and get something else?
    (I don’t really require 8K at this juncture, as I foresee keeping my faux 4K projector and fiber 4K HDMI cables for a few more years).
