There are not enough words to describe this Beauty, It has just about everything anyone could want or need and produces impressive room filling audio to boot. 5 Star Rated from every tester. Was originally $1250 plus tax and worth every dollar. One owner and seldom used and is in like new condition. ** It offers sound quality that can coax refreshing levels of detail and punch out of your home theater speakers. Plus, there is no shortage of outstanding features: built-in Wi-Fi, fully network capable online and digital music options, 4K video upscaling, app and web browser control, and multi-room audio and video capability. ** What's the best way to control this receiver's many features? Download the free Yamaha AV Controller app to your smartphone or tablet. Available for Apple or Android™, the app offers easy touchscreen control of the receiver's most critical functions — from switching sources and controlling the volume, to multi-zone playback control and selecting an Internet radio station. You can also use your tablet or PC's web browser to control the player and change settings. ** If you've never connected a receiver to your wireless home network, you may not realize how much music you're missing out on. Built-in Wi-Fi makes the RX-A1040 a snap to integrate with your network. Once you're connected, you can listen to free Pandora® Internet radio as well as free radio streams from hundreds of stations around the world. If you're a subscriber to Spotify®, SiriusXM, or Rhapsody, you can enjoy their seemingly endless music choices. Got a computer or networked hard drive loaded with music? DLNA compatibility allows this receiver to tap into your collection wirelessly, so you never have to touch another CD again. Finally, if you're an Apple® user, AirPlay lets you listen wirelessly from your iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch®, or a computer running iTunes®. ** One of the benefits of the 'A1040's seven-channel amplifier is powering speakers in multiple rooms. There are a total of nine speaker outputs on this receiver. That means you can connect a 7.2-channel system in your home theater and still have two more speaker outputs left over. The receiver can automatically reassign the back surround channels to Zone 2 speakers. The family can enjoy a movie in 5.1-channel surround sound in the home theater while you listen to your digital music library out on the deck. Plus, the second HDMI output can be independently selected for watching a different movie or show in two rooms simultaneously. This is perfect for adding a TV to a bedroom without having to rent another cable box or buy a second Blu-ray player. ** Excellent sound quality is the guiding principle behind Yamaha's AVENTAGE receivers. Low-jitter PLL circuitry reduces timing jitter from digital sources, for accurate playback and precise stereo imaging. The symmetrical power amp layout isolates the circuitry for the left and right channels, for a high signal-to-noise ratio and a wide soundstage for stereo music listening. The aluminum front panel, rigid chassis, and extra center foot on the receiver's base help to further eliminate unwanted resonance and distortion. And the audiophile-quality ESS Sabre digital-to-analog converters decode the latest audio formats while revealing more detail in music and movies soundtracks ** Video upconversion can take analog or HDMI-connected sources as high as 4K for display on Ultra HD TVs. If you haven't yet taken the 4K plunge, you can also choose upscaling to 1080p HD to make old DVDs glisten with new life on your TV. There's also an extra HDMI input on the front panel. Connect a camera or camcorder, or a smartphone or tablet with Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) compatibility. This allows you to share music, videos, or photos through your home theater with stunning picture quality and rich, full sound. * Design ~ AVENTAGE 7.2-channel Wi-Fi Built-In AV Receiver with high-grade audio design including ESS DAC and Symmetrical Power Amp Design with Rigid Chassis * Phono Input ~ Plug in your favorite magnetic cartridge turntable to listen to your vinyl collection * Power Output ~ 110 watts RMS per channel with full 20-20kHz audio with an 8ohm loading using stereo mode * Power Output ~ 150 watts RMS per channel with full 20-20kHz audio with a 4ohm speaker load in stereo mode * Power Output ~ 85 watts RMS per channel with full 20-20kHz audio using 8ohm speaker loading full 9 channels output * Damping Factor ~ Greater than 150, this number describes an amplifiers ability to control speaker cone movement at near or full output power .... 50 is average, 100 is a sign of a good amplifier, 150 and higher is a well designed and built unit capable of what sounds like a whole lot more output power. * Weight ~ 33lbs * I do have a yamaha setup microphone i can loan(with deposit of $75 to ensure return to me )to anyone who needs it long enough to use the one button surround setup if required. The original mic and all the manuals and wires are stored in a box somewhere and I have not come across them yet * It can be packed safely for shipping just about anywhere as i have shipped gear as far away as BC in Canada and down as far as Florida and across as far as Ohio in the states. * I have been servicing other peoples speakers and equipment for over 25yrs, I inspect and test all my own equipment and drivers before listing them, If they need service work I try to ensure everything is working the way it is supposed to before it is sold to anyone. * If I replace surrounds, I warranty them for 36months - where else can you get warranty on repairs? * If the crossovers need new Capacitors, I replace them. * (1) - If the ad is not marked SOLD it is still available. If you click the generic buttons to ask if it is still available I will send you here. Ask your questions and I will answer them as promptly as possible. * (2) - Messages come to a computer and not cel-phone, so extend a bit of patience if I don't respond right away. * (3). - I don't hold things for people who say they are coming to get it based on their word, so, don't get all bent out of shape when I sell something that YOU claim you are coming for, but, are not willing to send me a small deposit to show me you are serious. There are too many 'Kijijites' out there who make offers and claim they are coming 'Right Out' ,then climb back into the woodwork and disappear. Put your money where your mouth is. If you are serious about something and want me to hold it for you for a week or less then send me a deposit. If it is not like I claim it to be when you come to see it then I will refund your deposit. * (4). - Please remember that some brand new or seldom used older gear that has been sitting may work for years without troubles, or, it also may develop small troubles simply from lack of use. There is no warranty that comes with my gear no matter the condition unless I state it clearly in the ad. That being said if a piece of gear develops some troubles, give me a call and let me see if I can help you out. I like to think that I am a reasonable person within reason. * (5).- There is no cure for misuse and abuse or just plainly being a 'Dumbass'. If you are unsure about how something wires up or works Ask Questions!! There is nothing more frustrating that talking with someone who was too proud to ask for assistance, but, instead wires up something wrong, burns or blows it up then attempts to blame their own mistakes on someone else.
