The $400 RX300A is a direct replacement for the RX-V385, and adds a number of features, including Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X, 4K/120Hz Compatibility, dual subwoofer outputs and Bluetooth Multipoint.
The company says the RX300A 5.2-channel receiver features improved build quality — including a center-mounted fifth foot and a distinctive boxy design — and an updated on-screen display. Unusually, Yamaha says the receiver can be configured as a 3.2.2 channel system, but this is supposed to consist of only front speakers plus two subwoofers. Based on my testing with Dozens of AV receiversa 5.2 arrangement with two backgrounds might seem better — there aren’t as many elevation effects in a typical movie as there are surround effects.
The $700 Yamaha YHT-4970 system includes an RX300A and a 5.1-channel speaker array.
The company also offers the YHT‑4970U system, which combines the RX300A AV receiver with a matching 5.1-channel speaker system. Meanwhile, Yamaha says existing Yamaha RX-V6A He will remain in the lineup
The 7.2-channel RX500A adds DTS:X and Zone 2 support and built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, enabling music streaming via Spotify ConnectAirPlay 2, Google Cast, and more.
Yamaha last It updated its receivers in 2020but its competitors have also been slow to update their ranges, although Denon has just announced its new range AVR-S980H last month.
All three systems will be available starting in June.
