Streaming Spotify from Helix to a Yamaha RX-V4A

It sounds like you're trying to play Spotify through your Yamaha RX-V4A without using a TV. Unfortunately, the Helix TV box isn’t designed to act as a Spotify "forwarding" device. Instead, the Yamaha RX-V4A already supports Spotify Connect, which lets you stream directly from the Spotify app on your phone or tablet. Make sure your receiver and phone are on the same WiFi network, open Spotify, and look for your receiver under “Devices Available” in the app. It’s straightforward and bypasses the need for the Helix box. If you haven’t already, consider installing Spotify X for enhanced compatibility and features tailored for advanced devices like your Yamaha.
