Yamaha RX-V4ABL 5.2-channel 80W receiver with 8K HDMI, Wi-Fi and AirPlay 2

5.2-channel home cinema receiver

The Yamaha RX-V4ABL delivers 5.2-channel surround sound at 80W per channel into 6 ohms with 0.06% THD. It targets buyers who want a compact AV centre for movies, streaming music and casual gaming without separate amplifiers.

80W output and 17 DSP programmes

The 80W rating drives five speakers and two subwoofer outputs comfortably in small to medium rooms. Seventeen Cinema DSP programmes plus Virtual Presence Speaker and SILENT Cinema modes add spatial effects, while the 384 kHz / 32-bit PCM5101A converter handles high-resolution sources. Headroom diminishes in large spaces or with low-sensitivity speakers demanding higher continuous power.

Four HDMI inputs with eARC and wireless streaming

Four HDMI inputs and one output support 4K/60Hz, 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz pass-through via firmware update, plus eARC for lossless audio return. Dual-band Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth SBC/AAC and MusicCast multi-room let you stream from phones, tablets or network services. Analogue connections are limited to three stereo inputs, so users with multiple legacy sources need an external switcher.
