A:AnswerIt has a CD input and three line inputs plus a tuner input. None of the inputs are phono but if your turntable has a built in preamp it will work. You can also buy a phono preamp to use with it if the turntable doesn’t have it built in. It does have a built in Bluetooth feature.
A:AnswerIf you are using the two speakers and not the 5.1 Dolby set, yes the will sound great. This Yamaha amp is two channel. I only use Polk in every one of my systems.
A:Answerif you have speakers attached, a source like a cd player selected, press play on the player and turn up the big dial on the right to your desired level of sound. other inputs can be selected if you have other sources, like a computer playing like,,,,youtube. press the line 1 or whatever line in you plugged into and again the big dial on the right. enjoy.
A:Answerif you can connect your phone via bluetooth, the receiver will play whatever the source (your phone) is playing, whether that's pandora, spotify, apple music, youtube, etc. The only catch is that if your phone is too far away from the receiver, it might night be able to hold the bluetooth connection. For reference, i have exterior speakers connected as well, and i use my phone to control them, but the distance is not far.
A:AnswerMost 'smart' TVs have inputs/jacks for HDMI, optical out, and coaxial out. This receiver ONLY has analog (RCA-type) jacks, so you will need a simple digital-to-analog converter, plus either a coaxial cable or optical (Toslink) cable. These devices are readily available from multiple sources.
NOTE: The audio output from this Yamaha receiver will be stereo only, not surround sound.
There are other ways to connect your TV to this receiver, but this is one of the easiest and simpler solutions.
A:AnswerLeave it on. It is only in standby which is a type of sleep mode. Leaving it on with volume down will keep it out of standby.When you click the power button it will go to standby. If your power in your house goes out or surges slightly up or down then the receivers safety feature will put it into standby.
A:AnswerNot a receiver issue. It is a phone issue.Receiver does NOT access your phone. It receives whatever your phone sends it via blutooth it sends nothing to your phone itself.
A:AnswerI am running four. Two front and two rear. The hundred watts a channel is pushing them nicely. They are big old three way with woof putting out plenty of bass.
A:AnswerYou will need to purchase a blutooth send unit. Best buys sells them. I have one for my sub and a second one for my active rear channel speakers I use for outdoors by the pool.
A:AnswerYes you can connect your turn table to the amp, however you will need to buy an inexpensive preamplifier to the phono output and then into one of the inputs on the Receiver.
A:AnswerNo, not directly. You will need an outboard RIAA Phono Preamplifier between the turntable and one of the LINE 1 through LINE 3 RCA Input Jacks unless your turntable is the type that already has a preamp built in.
