I’ve paid enough for a working app

I’ve given you close to $6k between two receivers and a sound bar. I deserve SO MUCH BETTER. Not useable. Doesn’t connect. Doesn’t let me adjust settings (that’s my favorite, waiting 5 seconds for my settings to go back to where they were). About to take a hammer to my soundbar. Thanks Yamaha!

Non funziona

Pessimo non funziona

Design discutibile

Secondo me necessiterebbe di un design rinnovato e più intuitivo, oltre che qualche possibilità di configurazione in più

Excellent Soundbar

Yamaha SR-X50A & WSX1A (Carbon Grey) is excellent but I wish the app was modernised and given a fresh look and more intuitive to match the soundbar I use. Big fan of Yamaha, always have been… keep up the work ✊🏼

App and soundbar are intuitive and easy to use. Very good spatial audio and sound!
