Overview
Six HDMI ports headline the Yamaha RX-V679BL, an AV receiver rated at 150 watts with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi built in. That HDMI count gives it room to connect a full stack of source devices to one TV.
Six HDMI inputs is a generous count, useful for a setup running a game console, disc player, streaming box and cable box through one receiver without a separate switch. At 26 lb, it has the heft typical of a full-size AV receiver rather than a compact soundbar alternative.
- 150W power output
- 6 HDMI ports
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity
- 26 lb, black finish
Who it's for
Home theater owners connecting several HDMI source devices who want them routed through one receiver. Overkill for a simple TV plus soundbar setup with only one or two sources.
