feature filled and an excellent performer the Yamaha rxv for 8 1 receiver keeps the company's place at the top the affordable home theater pile this features a 5.1 channel output and four HDMI inputs sadly this is down from last year's 6 though they are now completely compatible with 4k and HDR video looking to other connectivity this has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi streaming via the company's music cast system you can use this to stream Spotify and Pandora or networked music to the 481 and other Yamaha products in your house another feature that the company doesn't advertise but does make a big difference is the ability to stream to a pair of bluetooth headphones we found it works without lag and it's great for listening at night user interface is an improvement on last year's and it's pretty easy to navigate we also like the simple and friendly remote control
