How to Update a MusicCast AV Receiver’s Firmware

Our newest network AV receivers* support MusicCast - a wireless multiroom audio technology that allows you to play a song in multiple rooms or different songs in separate rooms controlled through an app. (To learn more about MusicCast, click here: usa.yamaha.com/...)
Watch a video to learn how to quickly update a networked AV receiver’s firmware so that it can take advantage of MusicCast. The quickest way to see if you have a MusicCast AV receiver is to look along the top of the front panel for the logo. Make sure your AV receiver is connected to a network and then follow the simple directions.
Once you’ve updated your AV receiver, download the MusicCast app on Apple® App Store or Google Play. You’re now ready to connect your AV receiver with a MusicCast compatible product and be able to enjoy the freedom of wireless multiroom audio.
*AV receivers that support MusicCast include: RX-V479, RX-V579, RX-V679, RX-V779, RX-A550, RX-A750, RX-A850, RX-A1050, RX-A2050, RX-A3050, CX-A5100, RX-S601 and TSR-7790.

Thanks so much. I own 3 receivers and not good on technology. This was successful😀

[@tajjz0161]

I think my receiver might be gay..I cant find the straight button 😢

[@AgGoNy]

I'm also getting the "not found", but he receiver still tells me there is a firmware update

[@slipperyjim1497]

Highly recommended you do NOT use the Multicast app to upgrade the firmware. Use a USB stick instead and manually do it. Multicast told me there was a firmware update available (it turns out there wasn't a newer one). I had a failure updating (for some unknown reason) and it has left my firmware with an error. Now I have to send it in for servicing to clear the error. I can't restore the old firmware or flash over the existing now. I did everything right using the Multicast software and it still failed. The receiver still works thankfully but there is no way to clear the error with the firmware version reporting.

Thx you❤

[@DJHeinzman]

Thank U! Danke für die Info!

The update worked perfectly on my RX-S600 NETWORK receiver. It would have been nice if Yamaha included the written procedure here, but that is another thread. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like my receiver supports MusicCast since the Android App requests pushing the "Connect" button and this receiver doesn't have one. Oh, and neither does the RX-S601 which is supposed to support MusicCast. Is there a way to get this receiver to work?

+Howard Honig Hi. Thank you for your post and support. We did not post the written instructions here as we wanted to let the video speak for itself. If you are interested in written instructions related to the RX-S600 or any other Yamaha AV product, please refer to the product’s manual which can be downloaded by going to Yamaha.com/av and searching for the product. On the product’s page, there is a “Support” tab which will allow you to download the owner’s manual. As you have noted, the RX-S600 does not support MusicCast. However, the RX-S601 does support MusicCast. The “CONNECT” button is the same as the “STRAIGHT” button.

+Howard Honig Did you have any success with S600 and MusicCast? Too bad Yamaha don't provide this update for S600, then I would buy other Yamaha MusicCast products. Now I will probably switch to Sonos instead...

[@juandaviddelgado3725]

After I did this, mine stayed on “Verifying” on the display

[@devasconcellos4225]

[@FLIGHTCOMPANY]

Yo, did you get the narrator from Modern Marvels on the History Channel?

[@averagemellowguy]

I keep getting "not found" after waiting about 30 seconds. Trying so see if receiver has the latest firmware.

[@wolfgangderigo1652]

i ve got the same problem, please help me...

[@a4gen2]

+averagemellowguy Go the Yamaha website and download the latest firmware to a USB jump drive. Perform the update from the USB rather than the network. You should then be all set.

[@Ealhaya]

Hi, the update worked fine on my RX A 660 but since then I have no video output. the HDMI cable is plugged in, I just tested it on a computer and it is not faulty nor is the TV. I have a red "HDMI" on the AVR screen when I select an HDMI input (maybe this is normal but I don't remember). I mean no output at all. No output of my inputs and also no display of AVR options, music relevant info, etc. I'm a bit annoyed...

[@YamahaMusicUSA]

Ciao, volevo sapere se quando ascolto radio, oppure TV normale, o qualche altra periferica che non sia un film in HDMI, se suonano tutte le casse più il subwoofer, oppure solo il destro e sinistro anteriore ??
