User questions & answers

Question:	Does this unit come with a and b speakers? in other words. i want to put a second set of speakers outside on my patio
Answer:	You need a tv or monitor that is capable of hdmi to use the on screen setup. U can setup music without a tv using the demon AVR app
Question:	can this take a output of 1440p at 60hz from a pc and pass through to the tv
Answer:	Thanks very much for your question. The connections are preamp outputs which are intended for use with a powered sub. A passive sub will not run off this receiver. World Wide Stereo is 38 years old and a proud, authorized Denon dealer.
Question:	Can I watch tv through this unit while listening to radio or playing an album
Answer:	don’t use the headphone jack for your wireless speakers. Connecting anything to headphones Jack or aux Jack usually will remove sound from going to your hooked up speakers. If the speakers are wireless, are they Bluetooth or WiFi? See if you can use that feature on the Denon receiver to pair the wireless speakers.
Question:	Whats the difference between the v685 and the v685bl
Answer:	Hey Ike, This unit has 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Thanks, Denon North America

RX-V685

Yamaha RX-V685 7.2-Channel 4K Ultra HD AV Receiver with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and MusicCast. Works with Alexa.

What's more, you get stunningly realistic sound with a clean, clutter-free setup. Easily turn your current living room into an entertainment environment where you can fully enjoy movies, music and games.

4K Ultra HD HDMI Support

Providing complete compatibility with the latest HDMI standards, this AV receiver delivers transmission of 4K video at 60 frames/second pass-through. It also supports HDR (high dynamic range) Video including Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma which provides incredible contrast, smooth tone and rich, bright colors—giving you full, high-definition enjoyment with an exceptionally realistic and natural picture quality.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and AirPlay Compatible

Built-in Wi-Fi allows for a connection with your wireless router, greatly simplifying system connections for music streaming or enjoying networked audio (PC/NAS). Bluetooth connectivity is also included to stream into your receiver or out from the receiver to another Bluetooth device such as a pair of headphones.

YPAO - R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) Sound Optimization

This technology analyzes room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound. It employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound. It also provides DSP Effect Normalization, which varies the Cinema DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds.

Dolby Atmos/DTS:X

Compatibility with these amazing sound technologies creates an extraordinary experience. They deliver breathtakingly rich and realistic surround sound, positioning and moving individual sounds to any virtual point in your room, including objects moving overhead. Experience the overwhelming realistic movement and immersion in videos — right in your home.

Two HDMI Outputs

Since the RX-V685 has two HDMI outputs, simultaneous connection to a TV and video projector is possible. Or you can add an additional TV in a common area like a kitchen or patio to watch the same content in two different rooms. HDMI Out 2 will carry an HDMI audio signal to the second TV to provide sound.

Zone 2

This feature, also known as Intelligent Amp Assign, allows users to enjoy stereo sound in a second room. When Zone 2 is turned on, the two surround back channels in a 7.1-channel system will be redirected to the two speakers in Zone 2, while giving the Main Zone 5.1 channels of power.

User questions & answers

Question:	Even though there is no subwoofer output, can one be connected anyway
Answer:	NO!! There are line out jacks but they are fixed, not variable. This means when you turn the volume knob up and down, the volume to the subwoofer stays the same level. See page 10 of the manual here: https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/2/794512/web_ZU46020_R-S202_om_UA_En.pdf
Question:	What is the Bluetooth range
Answer:	There are 3 classes of BT devices. The ranges are under 10m (Class3); 10m (Class2) and 100m (Class3). The range you get between two devices will be the range of the least powerful device. If that's a cell phone streaming music, expect less than ten meters. If it is a computer with a Class2 BT radio, expect a solid ten meters. But the only way you will get more than ten meters (30 feet) reliably, is if both devices are Class 3. And portable devices rarely are.
Question:	can i hook up my turmtable as well
Answer:	I have a question more than answer. My turntable is the rather cheap, ION LP mp3 converter, it has a built in preamp, has a pair of red white RCA output. BUT, WHEN I PLUG IT INTO THE #3 RCA PORT, AS INDICATED ON THE PRODUCT PAGE FOR TURNTABLE, the speakers have no sound. Now, my "speaker" is a Yamaha HS5 monitor, it's hooked to the OUT RCA port via a 1/4" jack at the back of the monitor. I suppose I'll have to use proper hi-fi speakers connected via the loose wire ports?
Question:	So can this fit a total of 4 100watt speakers at once OR 4 25watt speakers at most
Answer:	100 "X" multiplied by 4 = 400 watts max, and multiple speakers can be connected to single channels if you have a full understanding of OHM's and how the wattage changes with different connections, but a single speaker on each channel that matches up closely at least in OHM's and watts will sound best, but multiple 25watt speakers would be fine on a 100watt channel, and with 4-100watt channels that can be repeated if desired, but if that's done with high power low ohm speakers, they will over draw power and burn up the reciever/amplifier and all this information is found via browser search, or just go basic and match printed numbers and sound great and dont worry about it burning up because of something you did.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use 8 ohm speakers with this receiver
Answer:	I had the same problem.. but squeezing it in the cabinet without ventilation will not be a good idea. I had to modify my cabinet. I have about an inch clearance on top the feet stayed and so air can flow. Both the sides have enough space. But if you still want to remove the feet I’m guessing it should be easy. My other receivers have screws that’s can easily be removed. This particular model since I can’t pull it out all the way, I put my finger and feel the bottom an can say it’s the same as the others. Maybe you should look for photos or someone can answer your question specifically. I hope it helps..
Question:	Can i hook my record player to this
Answer:	Amazons q&a section list any questions that are grouped together with that product. If you can select another model with the drop down box. It will combine all the q&a together even if it is for a different model than the item you are viewing.
Question:	Does this equipment have multi voltage? Can I use it with 220 volts
Answer:	Hey Dennis, No, a TV is not needed you can press the BACK button on your remote to exit the setup assistant. This unit also has a PHONO input for your turntable. Thanks, Denon North America
Question:	This says it has Atmos above but it's not listed as a feature anywhere. True
Answer:	The Denon itself ( set up screen) shows only 2 zones, main and zone 2. You can run preamp out to an external amplifier though

Cinema DSP transforms the dynamics of the listening environment, with acoustic reproduction of famous venues such as the Bottom Line, Roxy Theater, and European cathedrals-letting you experience their ambience right in your room.

Easy Sound Optimization with YPAO

YPAO (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer) analyzes the room acoustics and your system, then precisely adjusts various audio parameters to provide the best sound for your room. By placing the supplied microphone at your listening position and switching YPAO on, the system is automatically tuned for optimum performance in your home.

Virtual Cinema Front

Even when it is impossible to install surround speakers behind the listening position, you can enjoy virtual 5-channel surround sound with all of the speakers placed in the front of the room.

Rich Bass Reproduction

This exclusive low-range enhancement technology delivers richer bass than you would expect from smaller-sized speakers while maintaining good localization and sound balance, even with compact front speakers.

AV Setup Guide

Use this special app and get expert assistance with cable connections between the AV receiver and source devices. It even guides you through various other settings such as speaker connections, TV and source device connections and power amplifier assignments.

Bi-amp Connection

The RX-V385 offers the ability to bi-amp the front speakers (L, R), which drives the treble and bass ranges with independent amplifiers. In addition to providing greater power, it also prevents interference between the high and low sounds, further improving the sound of the front speakers.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you provide a description of the DAC built into this unit
Answer:	From a product description elsewhere: Burr-Brown 192 kHz/24-bit DAC.
Question:	How many individual speakers can i connect to the back of the receiver? Is it
Answer:	Can I connect 4 wireless speakers and 2 wired speakers
Question:	how do i hook up to tv with no rca connections
Answer:	Thanks very much for your question. This is a stereo receiver, and is not an Audio/Video receiver (or AVR for short). You could attach audio only (no video connection is possible) from your TV to this using a Toslink Optical cable, if necessary. World Wide Stereo is 38 years old and a proud, authorized Yamaha dealer.
Question:	Need a network cable for my receiver. Where can buy one
Answer:	MicroCenter is good, or Frye's electronics

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use my existing surround back speakers, keep them there, and plug them into front presence terminals in the receiver
Answer:	Hi, our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. Please try to check the connection if it is properly and securely connected to the port at the back. Press the input button depends on the device that you want to use. You may also check the specs of the speaker that you're using. The unit can handle up to 100 watts 4 to 8 ohms. If the troubleshooting didn't work kindly call our Technical Support Department at 718 535 1800 Press 2 then 1 from Monday to Friday 9 AM to 5 PM EST. Thank you.
Question:	Does the phono input have a built in amplifier or does the phono player have to have one
Answer:	I contacted the manufacture and they told me it was Dolby Digital. One would assume the they were talking about surround sound . I too did not see a Dolby logo. It was my understanding that anyone using Dolby of any kind , stereo, surround, noise reduction etc. must have the Dolby logo on the item. So I have my suspension as to if this is really Dolby Surround or Dolby of anykind.
Question:	Does this support dolby vision
Answer:	I bought it for my garage. Run 2 old Pioneer and 3 Infinity bookshelves off it with a small powered sub. Had an old Denon receiver that took up to much space. Bluetooth syncs auto every time and has plenty of power to fill my 2 stall garage easy. For the price I’ve been very happy. Brother in law bought one too and is also happy.
Question:	Can anyone confirm this reciever actually works with a PS5 for 4K/120hz pass through
Answer:	Very deceptive marketing. It does not have Dolby digital decoding with discrete 5.1 channels. It has two channel stereo, which it can mix to five identical output channels for its definition of surround sound. You can control the volume of each channel, but they are not discrete or different like Dolby 5.1.
