The 683 does not appear to have that, only HDMI out. **Q: What's the difference between this and the 679? all inputs hdmi 2.0?** A: Biggest differences are the phono input and support of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Additionally, the 681 includes HDMI version 2.0a chipset versus 2.0 chipset in the 679. In theory, you may keep up with future firmware updates for longer.Download the phone app to control these units or buy a programmable remote. The included remote is not so great. **Q: Will this unit play the same output on zone 1 & 2?** A: Same output but NO tone control. Sounds flat. **Q: are the subwoofer crossovers individual for each channel or global (one setting for all channels)?** A: With one subwoofer plugged in, SubWoofer Trim (on Options submenu) is + or - 6 dB in half dB increments, so I would assume one or two connected SWs would be trimmed together by this control. The amount of deep bass comfortable to the listener's hearing is what is apparently affected by this control. (each.5 dB change is quite noticeable with my one 12" SW in the medium sized room where I listen.) (The one SW is more bass than I need, especially at low volumes, so I'm glad for the trim adjustment so I don't have to crawl behind equipment to adjust SW bass for smooth jazz, baroque, action movie bass offerings.) ( mine is a "bright" room, (an 8" SW is enough.)) (the dual 8" woofers in my mains are actually enough bass for 95% of what I listen to.) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT reciever...but read the manual first so you know what to expect and how to use this product. *by K***C on March 17, 2018* I love Yamaha receivers. They have a VAST array of settings to adjust, including a built in 7 band eq for each speaker as well as volume control for all speakers. The system also includes an automatic speaker set up system, which works pretty dang well. The system also includes a wonderful mode that increases dialog volume specifically for your center speaker, which has been a common issue in watching 5.1 and 7.1 movies late at night when people are sleeping. With newer blu ray movies, they aim to make the loud stuff LOUD and the quiet stuff quiet, which made dialog too low to hear clearly when listening at low volume. This system has several modes to balance that sound out for low volume enjoyment. Some of the low reviews for this product have said the system starts shutting off on its own and then eventually will not turn back on. If this happens to you, it is not because the system is malfunctioning. The system is sensitive to two things...Power surges and shorts in the wiring system. Either of these events will trigger the system to shut off. And if the problem persists, the system will enter a mode called protect mode, which will disable it from powering on or responding to commands. Correcting this issue is as simple as exiting protect mode by pushing and holding the tone button + the Power on button. So, if you buy this receiver, don't dog it for doing what is designed to protect your product. READ the manual so you are not using this product ignorantly. It is a complex system...but is delightful to anyone who is a stickler for great sound. They have added so many features to this receiver to try and make it adjustable for many different soundscapes and preferences. I highly recommend this system, but only if you are willing to invest time in reading the 150 page manual and know what the heck you are doing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Receiver! Loving it so far! App controller is well done, however, setup, sound modes, and remote seem a little confusing. *by M***H on November 29, 2017* I have only had this receiver set up for a few days, and I will update as needed. I will write a "quick" review for the 1st paragraph, and go into some detail in the 2nd. :)I am upgrading from an older Sony "All in One" surround sound/DVD system, which might explain my pro and con things a little bit. Overall, this is a very nice receiver, and I absolutely love it. It does everything i need, and then some. I recommend it if its in the price range your looking for. Yamaha doesn't usually disappoint.*Quick: There are some amazing features, such as 4k support, Multicast, AirPlay, WiFi/Network & Bluetooth connectivity, YPAO (which is the Mic Calibration program) as well as a pretty awesome app that controls the system. I am using the App on an iPad, and love it. The receiver has a "quality" feel overall, with tons of connections, including and extra HDMI and USB on the front. The picture and sound quality is great. I do feel that the setup process was a little complicated. There are just SOOOO many types of "Sound Modes". The remote is also a little nutty, tons and tons of buttons. But once you get this setup, you can leave it alone, which does make it worth it in my opinion.*Little more: If you have been following the Surround Sound Scene, and stayed educated to the old and new formats over the years, you will be fine using this system. If your like me, and have some general knowledge, you might get a little overwhelmed with what you can pick from for sound modes, and what they will do, and Yamaha doesn't go into great detail, because its not their technology (meaning they don't develop Dolby or DTS), they just support it in their systems. So finding out exactly which Sound Mode does what is hard to find through Yamaha. You'd have to go to Dolby, or DTS's websites to learn more about it, or do what I did, and just start switching the modes around until its what you like... I know, real technical, right? lol. However, I will "complain" about the ease of use, which is why i knocked off 1 star. I would definitely say this is not an "Out of the box ready", user friendly type system. You will definitely need to set some time aside to set up everything. I would absolutely recommend using the Yamaha A/V Controller app, which I'm using on an iPad, and it makes it much easier to control. I will say that this is a perfect system for someone who has the knowledge of all the different types of Surround Sound Formats, or for a "secondary" surround sound system set up, again, because you would have the knowledge. however, don't be afraid to learn something about these technologies, because this receiver is a great way to have a nice home theater.I consider myself to be and "Advanced Amateur" Audiophile. I've been working with audio equipment for 20+ years. Just never dove full into it. I would gladly get a 2nd one of these if i needed it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent surround sound receiver. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal sound *by W***S on November 5, 2017* The manual is a pdf file on a CD. Read that first. Once I got past the Japanese setup screens (the language is the icon with "ABC" on it), it was pretty simple. However, the sound was like an echo chamber on everything but stereo. Once I set up the WiFi, it downloaded a firmware update (it took 20 minutes) and all of that went away. The sound is superb and smooth across all the speakers in my 7.1 setup. Of all the possible sound settings, 7-channel stereo seems the best on everything but Blu-ray, where "Surround" allows for true 5.1 and 7.1 sound. That's to be expected since the source is typically stereo. The sound on movies like "Master and Commander" is startlingly accurate and realistic, and also for movies over WiFi, which likewise transmit 5.1. The remote is not a universal remote, although many of the functions for a CD or Blu-ray player can be handled with it. The TV button is not for the TV. I think it actually means "video out" and that's where some eccentricities show up. If you turn off the TV, it turns off the amp. That's normally a good thing; but not if you want to continue to listen to a CD and only had the TV on to change a setting. And if you turn on the amp first, and then turn on the TV, the TV will not play through the amp until you turn the amp off and back on. Cute. But I do have an older TV that requires me to use audio out (RCA plugs) linked to Audio1 on the amp. It's probably not a problem on newer TVs where the HDMI handles it. The amp produces the upper frequencies beautifully and cleanly, and the timber of the violins and cellos is exquisite. The bass is deep, rich, and smooth. I had an Onkyo which I thought handled those things really well until I heard this Yamaha. It noticeably outperforms it. I am VERY happy with it.11/15 - I resolved the TV vs. amp issues (sound, power off). On the amp, choose setup, HDMI, and turn off HDMI control. Then they operate independently of each other, and the amp sound will auto-adjust to whatever the input is. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/26826747-yamaha-rx-v681-7-2-channel-network-a-v-receiver](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/26826747-yamaha-rx-v681-7-2-channel-network-a-v-receiver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
