An intuitive guide makes it easy to walk through every step of the setup process—from connecting speakers, your TV, and external devices to selecting inputs. The on-screen Settings menu allows easy configuration of sound settings so you can get up and running with ease.

ROOM CORRECTION—PERFECT SOUND IN ANY ROOM

An included setup microphone measures your room’s acoustics and speaker characteristics, allowing the receiver to automatically optimize sound performance—so premium audio quality can be enjoyed at its best, regardless of room conditions or environment.

FLEXIBLE DOLBY ATMOS SPEAKER LAYOUTS

Experience Dolby Atmos sound designed for flexible home theater setups. This AV receiver supports multiple speaker layouts—from traditional surround sound enhanced with virtual height effects to layouts with either in-ceiling or up-firing height speakers—so you can tailor immersive audio to your space.

ENGINEERED FOR STABLE, RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

Reliability is essential in an AV receiver, especially when switching high-bandwidth HDMI signals. Yamaha quality standards and robust circuit engineering help ensure stable performance under demanding conditions. For example, the large heat sink above the HDMI circuitry efficiently controls heat, protecting sensitive DSP and HDMI components. This focused design supports long-term reliability and consistent sound and picture quality, so your entertainment performs exactly as it should.

GREAT SOUND, BY DESIGN

Great sound is crafted in the details you never see. The RX500A reflects a sound-first approach where component layout and signal paths are thoughtfully arranged. Because even subtle changes can reshape what you hear, the design includes layers of refinement—right down to physical layout and wiring routes—supported by listening-based evaluation. So, what reaches you is simply beautiful sound, which makes you stop thinking about sound quality altogether and start feeling the moment it creates.

VIBRATION SUPPRESSION FOR SOUND ACCURACY

A signature feature adopted from Yamaha high-end AV receivers, the Anti-Resonance Technology (A.R.T.) Wedge is a center-mounted fifth foot that works with the four outer feet to disperse vibrations and deliver stable, focused, and accurate sound.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE HDMI SWITCHING

Connect multiple HDMI devices—such as streaming players, game consoles, and Blu-ray Disc™ players—and switch between them seamlessly. Also, HDMI eARC delivers high-quality audio from your TV to the AV receiver over a single cable.

SOUND TO MATCH THE MOMENT

Select from a range of Sound Modes designed for different content, listening situations, and personal preferences. Pure Direct and Stereo modes are ideal for music purists, Movie mode delivers cinematic impact, and Night mode keeps sound balanced and unobtrusive after hours.

INSTANTLY SET THE SCENE

Create up to four custom presets using the Scene buttons. Each Scene can be tailored to a specific input with the sound settings you desire, then recalled instantly from the front panel or remote to play your content exactly as you’ve set it.
