MusiCast on my Yamaha RX-6 AV Receiver (and audio HiFi amplifier) is the center of my home entertainment system. A patchwork of heritage audio and visual devices worked well for many years until it reached the limit of its abilities. My Yamaha Receiver brings all my home entertainment needs together, including net radio and other Wi-Fi based services.

Great App! Have been using this app for nearly 20 years as our yard/pool music system controller. Bluetooth's range is Great. Are able to crank full amp volume with Music Cast vs straight Bluetooth only link. Fun streaming the built-in would wide stations at times for something different. Usually streaming my Amazon Playlist or SiriusXM.

Ever since the latest firmware update to my RX-A6A (May 2026), I can no longer stream music from my Samsung Galaxy Amazon Music App to the receiver!! Extremely frustrating! Several times now I have cleared cache/data from this app & Amazon Music app....still did not work. Twice now I have deleted both apps & reinstalled them.....NOTHING IS WORKING!!!! The UI on the Music Cast app is horrendous, so I prefer using the Amazon app.
★☆☆☆☆Blake Wozniak· Jun 27, 2026
I use primarily with Amazon Music and the tuner for local stations. When attempting to select Amazon as my source, it often says "Please wait a moment." I've checked to ensure the latest receiver firmware and app updates are in place. If I'm able to get it to play, it regularly skips or will randomly stop playing. This occurs 60 to 70 percent of the time, and I'm tired of messing with it. App and receiver (Yamaha RX-V6A) don't work well together.

Problems problems problems....why does it always say processing login on SiriusXM now....dropping Alexa and Google support, Pandora takes forever to process login....was working great until about March since then all has gone to #$&*.
