Usually, Yamaha AV receivers have a fairly simple and understandable "name". The first letters are the receiver series. The number next is the model number. The following figures are the year of release (individually for each series).

Consider an example:


1. RX-V receiver with volume sound;

2. 6th place of the model in the series;

3. 87 — Year of manufacture (87 — 2019, 85 — 2018, 83 — 2017, 81 — 2016, 79 — 2015).
