Yamaha Web Editor Tour: Fully Configure your AV Receiver from your PC!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- Yamaha has a Web Editor app feature built in to EVERY AVENTAGE AV Receiver. The interface has been completely revamped for 2021 and it looks absolutely fabulous. This Web Editor app allows complete configuration control of every feature of your AVR from the comfort of your Laptop or PC plugged into the same network as your AV receiver. This is an incredibly important set up tool for those wanting to configure their receiver from a remote location (ie. installed in a room different from the speakers and display). In this video, I give you a tour of the web editor and brief explanations of all of the major configuration settings (ie. bass management, levels, PEQ, DSP, HDMI routing and more). This is a must watch for ALL Yamaha AVENTAGE owners wanting to get the most out of their AVR.

I like what gene from audioholics is doing and educating people on audio devices. Even though i can't afford what he reviews but its always fun to know and get information about audio gear. When i first bought an aiwa walkman cassete player in 90's the audio was so good that today even when i own a flagship samsung phone it doesn't produce that level of audio quality.
Wow I've had my RX-2010 for several years and used the Web interface for Main Control but had no idea it also had this level of granular control. Great video and well explained as always Gene. Thank you for even more awesomeness!
I was delighted to find this video, it's a huge help for configuring (re-configuring in my case) my RX-A880. You tend to set it and forget it, but changing up a few components is making me have to re-learn the Yamaha interface. Thanks so much for your time to make this and other vids to help!
Thank you so much for demoing this, much appreciated. Please continue to post these great videos on the new Aventage series!
Keep these great videos coming Gene, they have been very helpful dialing things in, this receiver is amazing and it’s only going to get better with future firmware updates. “Yes” to adding center spread 🤘
Pleeese Yamaha, bring back "center spread". Thank you!
I agree!
I own former flagship Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A3080 and I do have the center spread feature. Don't know why new ones wouldn't have it. I activate it with the remote control in the screen menu.
You can get around this by copying your speaker settings to the second configuration and deleting the centre speaker. Then assign this configuration to one of the scene buttons.
Until this video I was unaware of this feature! This is my first Aventage, having had Yamaha AV machines since the DSP-300 days. Thank you!
It's really nice to have access to all these settings with a clear interface... hours of tweaking pleasure
Gene, appreciate the detailed overview and, in particular, your explanation on how to go about setting up dual subwoofers. I have a second sub on the way and was unsure of what setting to select. Also your explanation on how to utilize Extra Bass for two channel music was very helpful and has resulted in a noticeable Improvement in the lower end.
It's such a cool feature!
I first bought an RX-A4A, but was so impressed with it (especially YPAO!) that I returned it and got the RX-A6A instead, for added channels:)
Thank you for this video! I knew about the basic web page for Yamaha receivers, but this is a hidden gem! Makes adjusting settings while I'm using REW to calibrate my speakers so much easier. I can't believe it took me this long to find this out, and I'm pleased to say it works with my older RX-V683BL. Again, thank you!
Thank you for this video! Breaking in my Yamaha, decided to buy after they came out with the HDMI fixes. Now I'm following through your video with the web editor open on my PC. I love the graphs they include. It appears I'll need to study to correct my Presence speakers
Excellent Presentation. This is a fantastic receiver, that drives my 7 Revels and 2 Svs subs. A thoughtful interface to have for any adjustments you may want to apply. Thumbs up to Yamaha, a beast of a receiver, and more importantly, a salute to Gene for providing is know how and expertise on the subject.
Very nice! Kudos to Yamaha for this. I have not accessed this on my A6A yet but, will definitely check it out. So far very pleased with A6A. Patiently waiting for full HDMI 2.1 features.. and hopefully Yamaha can fix the issue Gene has found in his preliminary testing. PEQ is very powerful and one of the main reasons I purchased a Yamaha, also love the new look of Aventage.
I bought the RX-A6A and the center spread was one of the best features I had with PL 2 Music in my 20 years old Kenwood Receiver. I hope it comes back!
Great vid! Had no idea it could be so easy to configure my a4a. On screen setup is now a thing of the past. Thanks!
Appreciate your comments and expertise. I purchased the A6A replacing (relocating) a Sony ES sound processor with 2400 watts (yep) of separates in December 2022. The web app is sensational! I let the YPAO do it's routine, then tweaked a few things to my ears. Also am using a separate main channels 200+ RMS per channel and obviously an amp for the massive subwoofer all driving a 9.1 arrangement. 100% Klipsch except the house shaking sub. The YPAO flawlessly figures out each speaker location and what is driving it. As for center speaker spread, that would be a excellent addition for fine tuning a particular situation. The Yamaha RX A6A is sound perfection and excellent AVR for my home theater.
Gene, you asked “Who uses a tuner anymore?” I do! Quite a bit as a matter of fact. I even bought an HD tuner for one of my receivers because receivers don’t come with HD anymore. Don’t know why they don’t because it doesn’t cost hardly anything to add it.
For DSP, I’m like you. I can do without most of them. I usually don’t listen to music in a German bathtub.
Glad to see Yamaha has really stepped it up on their latest receivers. Still want Auro 3D for music though.
Thanks for the video. Informative.
Having a web portal to do fine tuning and configuration like this is wonderful! So glad to see web-portal configurations come to home A/V receivers. Hopefully ALL companies will be doing this exact same thing with their products as well. (Now that Yamaha has made this move, they really kind of have to if they want to stay competitive)
agree! See my very similar comment on API/integration and maybe even an open protocol to interact with for new GUIs, better integration with smart homes etc. Onkyo, Pioneer Elite and Integra's new line of avr has web GUIs with basic and very CI type setup interfaces. Exciting times, if only the logistic situation could be resolved...
Yes Gene help bring the center spread back very much needed
I have an RX-A3070 AV receiver which has the older clunky web interface. Once I got it tuned for MY ears, I haven't really tweaked anything recently. Great video.
just bought an RX-A6A. This video really helped me understand what I can do!
Thanks, Gene, for this fantastic video!...Looking to purchase the Yamaha RX- A6A Aventage A/V Receiver and your video convinced me for remote control, this receiver will accomplish such that after running CAT-6 ethernet cable throughout house...
“That damn impedance switch” love it. Also yes to Center Spread. 1000x yes
Just got the A8A. Loved the old DSP-A1000 back in the day. Yes for sure Gene, centre spread pls pls pls. Will now dive in on the web interface. Thx so much.
I have been using a Yamaha HTR-5890 receiver with Amber LED lights for a while now. I like it.
I know I need a NEW receiver for Dolby Atmos support but they are in short supply right now.
As for now this old Yamaha receiver keeps on working just fine.
A4A owner here. Would love the Center spread option! Great video on the web gui, Gene!
Thanks gene for another great video. Can’t wait to get my a8a… whenever the ship gets here
I used the web interface this evening. Nice job on the tutorial. This is the first day of use on an A4A. The first one worked fine for a few days, then all video output via HDMI suddenly stopped. Could not get it back, so had to get a replacement. I hope my luck is better with replacement unit.
Excellent video, thx for you time and research.
Yes please bring back the center spread. Thank you.
He Gene. I have all speakers populated, and yeah, the height speakers makes all the diff. The DSP fields I love are Jazz Cellar for jazz. Hall is good for simple music or classical quartets, trios, or solo instruments when reverb works. Church is good for organ music like Handel or some symphonic music...but hall is good for that as well. But by and far I listen to Jazz Cellar most of of time... It fills the entire wall with realistic sound and lifts the soundstage as if the group is on a two foot stage.
BTW, the Yamaha Web Control has been available since the Yamaha Advantage RXA-840, 1040, 2040, 3040 models and beyond (RXA-x050, x060, x070 & x080). This newer GFI (graphical user interface) looks slightly more user friendly … with those slider controls … but as far as I can see all the same features are available. It’s one of the reasons all my AVR’s in my house are Yamaha’s, besides Yamaha’s known rock-solid reliability. Yamaha’s YPAO PEQ may not be accurate as Denon’s/Marantz’s/Anthem’s Audyssey … or so I’ve been told … but with the Web Control I can fine tune it to a cats whisker, after the first 5 or 6 sweeps, and listen to the changes I've made in real time, till I’m happy with the changes/results I’ve made. Great job as usual Gene.
Excellent video. I have A6A, is my second AVR and the first Yamaha. I am impressed with the features. I use only the app, which is excellent I left the command behind.
I use A6A for music, streaming Spotify, the interface is simple and effective is simply wonderful. I have 2 SVS SB3000 and Kenwood Subwoofers with + 25 years of 50 W but YPAO wonders I do not find any difference in the two and the color they brought to music was extraordinary
For video I only use the Surrond Ai which is fantastic.
I am very pleased with A6a. Well there is the question of the power that the Gene has very well put when there are several channels in use. But it must be for this question that the multichannel amplifiers enter. Thank you Gene.
On my Yamaha receiver I normally use tsp just for the Jazz Halls I like the effects of some of the Jazz Hall DSP settings particularly when I'm listening to jazz music give me a little bit more Ambience of a small Jazz Hall
Just bought this AVR...setting up this weekend.
Thank you so much for the info and deep dives into Yamaha receivers. Appreciate all the efforts.
Would you also please make a video on how to do manual PEQ, and Gain settings in YPAO Manual mode for a straight curve in REW? There isn’t much info on that here.
Love your work!
Works on RX amps too. Previous xx8x models had the config thru a Yamaha Windows app over network.
This is an incredible tool, and the best thing about it is that it updates the second you change it. This means I can leave REW open and run a sweep, quickly change something like sub distance or crossover points and run another sweep to compare. This is soooo much faster than using the remote in the settings, plus when the settings are open on screen it blocks my view and makes it hard to use REW. One thing it is lacking is a real time readout of exactly what signal you are getting. You can access it with the on screen menu but when you are using ARC or EARC you cant see the onscreen menu. The info tab should be able to show Video and Audio inputs in real time. Sampling rate, bitrate, ect would be really helpful. I use the phone app to see if the receiver is receiving DTS HD, Dolby TrueHD ect, or the on device screen, just wish it was build into the web interface.
Yes, center spread option please! Thanks.
Bring back the center spread feature. I recently purchased the A6A. It’s so powerful!
This Center Spread option worked wonders on RX-3080, so Yamaha, please include this!
yes to adding center spread!
This is an absolute game changer. It's just a shame I had to find out about this option through this video (which I am very grateful for). One thing missing though is that yamaha could include more information in the interface. For instance, what is the difference between overhead speakers and dolby enabled speakers in a 5.1.2 config? Also... Some of their naming conventions could do with some explanation as well.
Center spread please! Make it happen gene! I believe in you!!
Great video and thanks for the efforts, Gene. One question: is it possible to set different speaker distances and speaker levels for separate scenes? My goal would be to have one setting for the MLP and one for a multi seat scenario.
Gene, the wait to see the measured performance of this amplifier is agony! I understand that you are waiting to see if Yamaha can make improvements, however, this is taking too long. Please consider releasing measurements showing the performance with the current firmware and by all means update this information if/when Yamaha are able to improve matters. Many potential customers are delaying purchase until measurements (and hdmi 2.1 firmware) are available.
This receiver has many very interesting features such as the ip control, but it seems to me that the main USP is the xlr input and output for the front stereo pair. Performace of this will therefore be especially important.
Center spread yes!
Newbie here, thank you Gene, I Liked this critical important video for Yamaha. (why doesn't Yamaha make such for their customers?) ,this gives me a great understanding of tweaking the sys and very helpful to get the sound ideal .. New owner of the A6A, still tweaking my 9.2 setup on KEFs 950Q series not quite happy with set up yet, hopefully I get it slick. I. previously owned the latest Pioneer Elite SC-LX704 also has individual speaker EQ, which is in a bar graph form, bit easier visually to see, but you have to cancel out of the entire system and then reenter to program mode, (not a web editor) which makes it tedious to adjust. (the Pioneer shut down after 7 hours of heavy use in audio, beautiful sound but returned it... now trying the Yamaha if its better for me>?), I hope the Yamaha web editor can be accessed while listening to adjust, havent done this yet so I don't know yet... for me it would be better to adjust with graphic bars ,or even better; like a true graphic tools with adjustable digital pins displaying actual frequency visually, ( just like the interface of a profesional digital soundcraft mixer board for each channel), that would really be next level pro set up.
I have a 3080 with Beringer EQ for mains. Have PEQ set to flat on AVR for the mains
Don’t know if you’ll see this comment, but can you still get this Yamaha web interface after the new update 1.93? I can’t get these screens on my laptop or iPad since the update 🙏🏻
Really ice overview, I'm looking to upgrade to the A6A. PEQ is looking more capable compared to my RX-A1060. Would love to see a few mew bands and more frequency increments in the drop down, to enable 'fine' tuning. Now Yamaha have powerful FPGA onboard, I'm sure they could make this happen in a firmware update.
I wanted the PEQ to be infinitely adjustable as well but, I found the increments on my A6A to be quite reasonable. I did not suffer from not getting the adjustment where I wanted it.
I would like a rotary volume again like on the old load remote I also liked having the different the different dsp features
I’ve just got the 8 and am learning
Center Spread please. I have it on my current Yamaha av reciever and I want it on my next Yamaha.
Thanks!
Why aren't the scenes available to all channels? Every input sounds so much better on all channels (surround)
Very good video. Anyway: Just fired up a new Advantage and was eager to test this web interface. But I was a little disappointed to se that DAB+ is totally left out from the interface. This Advantage is a Euro version, and DAB is quite common.
Any hint is appreciated.
Rx A2070 here. I never knew about this! Will try tonight
I have the same avr, did it work with you? Thanks
@@kemarislimane It did, sort of. I Think it is the older application, as it doesn't quite look like Genes which he said is the newer look. The settings are a bit tricky to find, but they are all there. It is useful for changing some things and renaming things using your keyboard. For example, I programed all the local radio station pre-sets as my wife still uses the radio from time to time (mostly to win concert tickets). Other settings I prefer to change on screen. This may be useful when i start doing my room eq. Got a mic on the way.
I wish Yamaha was able to update firmware with a better OS. I always kinda hated how everything looks like its from 1994. Just being able to change the (piano) wallpaper would be a big step. Seems like it would make sense for a $2k-$3k product.
@@kemarislimane Also, I found if you go to just the IP address it gives you A remote control like interface that looks ok. and some general settings. I just don't see the deep settings for speakers and other parameters
We need the centre spread feature, I’ve just purchased this exact amp for my home theatre, so I’m not sure if this feature has been included yet, I hope it has because i can understand how helpful it would be, please Yamaha 🙏
Hi - I have just purchased an rx-a4a, have it configured, and would like to back up the config. In my web interface, on the “other” tab, there is no backup option. Do you know if the backup feature is available anywhere else? Thanks for all your videos on these units. They have helped me understand a lot.
Can also be used for the v series of recievers
I love the PEQ feature but I wish it had more bands available and a separate GUI. It's much easier to adjust Q when you can see it. I can have 9 active band of GEQ on my Onkyo but they're all fixed and factory set frequencies which totally sucks! All I can do is adjust the gain but not the width or the frequency and it really really sucks! Having a web based GUI sure would be nice since I run my whole system from a PC, everything audio and video starts at my PC, but, I also run video at 120Hz. Can this Yamaha do that? I know HDMI 2.1 is rated for it, but can it actually do it? I'll explain.
I use HDMI 2.0 from a Nvidia RTX 2070 graphics card and I run at 120Hz. However, I can only do this if I run from my graphics card direct to my TV, my Onkyo receiver will not pass though a 120Hz signal apparently or it's not capable of doing it, one or the other. That's why I ask, can this Yamaha actually do it? If it really can, I think I'd be tempted enough to switch brands.
Cheers 🍻.
If a person was to buy the Yamaha rx a2a in 2022 do you think the firmware would be done on the newer units?
I have a Aventage RX A880. The web interface via IP is very limited. No deep diving. Any advice?
We need the center spread option back!
Silly question, can/did they update older (a2070) to work with new interface? Like you said PEQ bands need to be way more accurate. I do have a MiniDsp on the way..
to answer your question at the end, have been using this interface, makes it much faster to enter in settings tuning with REW
Great Vid, do you have recommendations for an all in one remote to control this set up? I have an A4A and was surprised that it didn't have any learning capability on the remote. I just want to be able to turn on the tv and maybe add a few cd player commands. I really dont want to have to spend $600 plus for a Remote master set up, when I know the TV and a few other components will be upgraded soon.
Center spread is normally hidden on Yamaha receivers, unless you're using one of the "analog" surround codecs, like PLII Music, then you can use the "options" button on the remote to locate the option to tweak it. The setting is not global, it's stored for each codec separately.
Sadly this model doesn't have it. I'm trying to get Yamaha to get it back via firmware update.
Can you use the yamaha web editor when your receiver is on and speakers are playing ?
Nice, looks like I can unplug my HDMI monitor from my RX-A6A and use the web interface instead. No more HDMI handshake issues.
Does this Web editor app work on say the last Yamaha series like a2080 etc?
Just upgraded from a Yamaha RX-A1080, and overall I am very happy with A6A - however I found out the center spread is missing from my new receiver. Please help us bring back the center spread feature :)
It not only for Aventage series.
I have V6A, Low level have same features.
Center spread for the 🏆
Yamaha, please bring back CENTRE STAGE!! I have the A8A. Could you also please release Auro 3D update as well as the 4K 120!! Speaker pattern on the A8A is 4.
Can I power on/off the reciver from this web interface? Is it also possible to change inputs from the web interface? Basically I want to switch from Audio IN 1 to Audio In 2 etc. from them web. My use case is that the receiver will be out of sight hidden in a cooled compartment so switching inputs using the remote will not be possible.
One feature I would love that I've never seen is a Centre Channel Mono. I watch everything on my HTPC that goes through my RX-A3050 and then to the TV. On a night when the kids are asleep I would love to be able to just listen to the centre speaker and make it act kind of like a soundbar.
Hi Wayne, are you using both speaker patterns on your 3050? If not, you can just create your own 'mono soundbar' with pattern 2: select 3.0 configuration (all other speakers disabled), increase centre level to +10 and decreas left and right to -10, finally select DSP programm 'mono movie'. Of course fronts are still playing, but you will mainly hear the centre
@@rolandw181 Only just seen this reply. I will try this tonight. Do you know if there is a quick way to jump from Pattern 1 to Pattern 2 without going through the whole menu system?
@@waynemackie3113 scenes are your friend
hello, i have a question for you: i have an ust projector whose fan makes a background noise, and i wanted to know if it's annoying to calibrate or not? thank you in advance for your help, i love the content of your expert videos.
Hello, I have an A4A that I have yet to set up because I’m waiting for a shelf to be built above my tv for my center. Can anyone tell me if I can access the web editor via iPad or iPhone or do I need a PC/laptop to use it? Thanks.
I support bring back center spread feature please. A RX A3080 owner! Thanks
Interesting. It’s been 3 years since I purchased a new avr and just now finding this.
Thank you for this very interesting presentation. However, I think that "front & rear" for subwoofer is not a stupid feature. It allows me to connect my subwoofer to the front and my buttkicker to the rear (under my sofa). Thanks to this feature, when I listening to stereo with music, my buttkicker remains inactive. On the contrary, in multichannel mode, in cinema, it is active and transcribes all the impacts of LFE mode.
I thought the video was very informative. Will the Yamaha web editor work with the RX-A3080? Thanks . Mike C .
Please get the center spread for the yamaha A6A
Great video. I had no idea the power (or complexity) of this receiver. Question: On my A6A, if I run spotify through a sonos Port into the receiver it shuts off after 20ish minutes. But if I run spotify through Musicast it'll run forever without any shutoff problems. Has anybody else experienced this? Also, is there any way to access Zone 2/3/etc controls through the musicast app? Since running into problems with Sonos I was trying different zones, but it's a real pain to have to go into the server room and adjust volumes on the different zones throughout the house. Sonos has this nailed for non-audiophile people like me (and definitely like my wife).
Is it normal on an RX-A2A that I have no playback control via the web console? I can get the setup page shown here but putting in the IP Address by itself only gives me some basic setting option. No playback controls at all?
Hey Gene, I have a RX-A3080 and just switched to Focal in-wall speakers for my LCR and I'm having major issues with the sound being muddy, but I have no idea what I'm doing with PEQ... Is there any way I could hire you to remote into my PC and help me try and fix the sound in my room?
Would be very interested in an all channel stereo config video.
Will do once I get a chance to test with speakers.
I own the RX-A8A, and I would like to have the Center Spread feature! Also, Gene, please ask Yahama when they will enable the 4K/120 and 8K/60 updates? One other issue that I have with the A8A is the delay in sound when playing movies. It doesn't matter if I switch out the HDMI cords or devices; I get a sound delay of 5 sec while playing content. Also, ask them about the IMAX Enhanced DTS feature. I have the IMAX Enhanced DTS on my Denon 4500H, but I find it interesting that Yamaha doesn't have it.
I had the same problem with Netflix . Plus it shut off on me. So I return it back to BestBuy for a refund. Bestbuy said they have a lot of returns on the Yamaha . I had the A6A...
@@sg1ds919 On my A8A, I haven't had that issue where the A8A would shut off. The audio delay is very annoying, where I have to rewind my content to hear what I missed constantly.
Have you had a resolution to this yet?
I had that a technician came to set it up.
I have a firestick 4k program to Scene 1 and a Rolu Ultra program to Scene 2.
When I turn on the Roku it will turn the tv, and A6A Scene 2 without problems but when I turn on the Firestick it will turn on the tv and the A6A to Scene 2 not to Scene 1. 😕
Any answers ? Thanks
I don't have one but working on getting one
I have the RX-A1080, how do I get the nice editor GUI represented in this video? I only see the ultra-basic light yellow version of it when I log in to my receivers IP.
I had a question about about the 4K/120hz update that was promised in February 2022… it’s March now and there hasn’t been an update… do you or anyone else on this feed know when Yamaha is going to actually going to release the update?

Hello, hope you can help, I own the Yamaha RX-a6a. My question is, I cannot hear my subwoofers at all, not sure what could be, their brand new Klipsch rfp 1200. Can you help?
Be cool to see this for Anthem products
"Center spread" please and I don't mean Playboy, although that would be a nice feature.
Gene great video Thanks. I only get Straight mode when playing a DSD disc through my oppo 105 and Yamaha told me it doesn't decode DSD but yet it shows it in theA6A spec sheet. Maybe you could ask Yamaha about that.
I've got the A6A.
Unfortunate power surge took out my 3070 a couple weeks ago. Only lucky thing that day was a 25% off Yamaha AVR sale on Amazon. Loving this new A6A. Was initially a bit worried about stepping down in the model tree a notch , but to me, my system sounds better than it ever has, and all of my game systems hook up now with full capability.
Tell Yamaha they have a winner, but they need to bring back the center spread.
My RX V6 can do this also.
I’m saving your Yamaha videos in case the RX-A6A ever becomes available.
