Yamaha Audio Japan have just announced a program to offer free board replacements for the RX-V4A, RX-V6A, and RX-A2A, where a customer requires 4K / 120Hz compatibility.
Hopefully this will be rolled out to other territories and also its good news for the RX-A4A, RX-A6A & RX-A8A and 4K / 120Hz compatibility. i.e. its fixable via a firmware update.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued patronage of Yamaha products.
Regarding the AV receivers "RX-V4A", "RX-V6A", and "RX-A2A" released in 2020 and 2021, support for 4K / 120Hz input / output, which is the latest HDMI 2.1 function, in future updates. ... is my plans. However, in the 4K / 120Hz signal from the next-generation game machine Xbox Series X and the graphic board NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series, the problem that video and audio are not output when inputting to the AV receiver became clear, and in order to deal with these It turns out that the hardware needs to be replaced.
Customers who do not use the Xbox Series X or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series for 4K / 120Hz video signals do not need to replace the board. The AV receiver targeted this time currently supports 4K / 60Hz HDR signals, so it can be used as usual on many game devices. In addition, the target AV receiver is compatible with eARC. You can enjoy 4K / 120Hz video by directly connecting the TV and the source device and outputting the audio signal to the AV receiver with eARC.
In addition, the AV receivers "RX-A4A", "RX-A6A", and "RX-A8A" announced on May 13, 2021 do not have this problem, so there is no need to replace the board and future firmware updates. You can enjoy HDMI 2.1 standard video only.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused to customers using this target device and combination, and we appreciate your understanding.
