There is no USB-B connection for computer replay.Īlso within is Yamaha’s MusicCast streaming and multiroom platform, offering both control and many streaming delights. The only USB-A slot is also on the front, somewhat inconvenient if you want to permanently connect a hard drive of music files, say, but handy for plugging in a quick stick. In addition to Ethernet, trigger and IR connections, there’s a DAB+/FM antenna connection (and tuners within, of course), while on the front is a headphone socket. In addition, there are five audio-only inputs – one optical digital, one for either optical or RCA analogue, one for either coaxial digital or RCA analogue, a pair of balanced XLR inputs (there are also XLR preouts for front left and right output channels), and finally a phono input for a turntable, with earthing post. The RX-A8A has a main HDMI output with eARC to play audio from a connected TV, a second HDMI output which has no ARC or HDMI control, and that third HDMI output mentioned earlier for an additional zone.
STEREO MIX PLUS PLUS
For these you have available seven HDMI inputs, all 4K 40Gbps capable, plus ‘legacy’ video inputs that are converted to HDMI output: one component video with a choice of RCA analogue or coaxial digital audio, and two composite video inputs, one with a choice of analogue or optical audio in, the other just analogue.
