  • QuestionCan this item be used with an RCA turntable.

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer No, 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.

  • QuestionHi, I have this Yamaha receiver and I want to buy a sony Bluetooth speakers WH CH700, but I don't know if they pair right away or if I need to use a Bluetooth transmitter?! thanks!!

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer The manufacturer description says that it has Bluetooth functions, but I don't know for sure as I have not yet hooked mine up as it is for my winter home. The following is a three star review of the item & Bluetooth function off Amazon: 3.0 out of 5 stars Buy an aftermarket Bluetooth adapter June 2, 2017 Style: R-S202BL | Verified Purchase The receiver is easy to setup, with great functionality. It allows you the option to turn on and off each channel which is a great feature. It also comes with a separate AM/FM antenna's. The sound quality is great. The only problem with it is its onboard Bluetooth adapter. When using the onboard Bluetooth adapter you lose bass response, gain and sound quality. Fortunately for me I had an aftermarket Logitech Bluetooth adapter that connected to the audio in left and right ports and now the Bluetooth quality is up to par with the receivers great audio quality. Otherwise I would give it a 5 star rating.

  • QuestionWhen I turn the receiver on it turns off real quick.. I can do this about two or three times than I have unplug it to come back on..what could be the problem.

    Asked by Steve.

    • Answer Check both ends of all your speaker wire connections. Seems the circuit protection system is being activated. This usually occurs when an improper speaker install is made. Also, make sure your impedance settings on the receiver is set to the proper position 6 or 8 ohm. Trying to power a 6 ohm speaker with the amp set at 8 ohm may also activate the circuit protection system. ~ peace

  • QuestionHow to connect to Yamaha NS-SP1800BL SPEAKERS and to connect to TV

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Not a good match as this receiver is not a 5.1 surround sound receiver. Keep looking for another receiver. TV hookup is okay with optical digital cable.

  • Questionwhat speakers do you recommend to pair with this ampli for a small apartment? (40 m2).

    Asked by cris.

    • Answer I have some Klipsch R-15M speakers that I'm running on a different stereo. That unit is a 100 watt/channel Sony that is similar in features (no Bluetooth) to the Yamaha. I like these speakers and they are pretty close sound wise to the speakers on the Yamaha, some New Advents (no longer made). I can highly recommend the Klipsch speakers. At $250/pair they may or may not be in your budget. BB usually has these is stock and you may be able to go into the store and give them a listen with some music you are familiar with. I've seen them on sale from time to time and maybe BB can price match them if you can find them someplace else, cheaper. Otherwise you could look at some other speakers that are in line with what you can spend. Good Luck!

  • Questionwhat are the dimensions of this receiver?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Measuring mine, I get: Width: 17-1/8" (this is the faceplate dimension, which is 1/8" total wider than the main metal case of 17" width) Height: 5-1/2" (includes bottom feet and faceplate overhang over the top of the metal case) Depth: 11-3/8" from front face to rear face. Add another 13/16" for the volume knob, if you're trying to clear a front cabinet door. I didn't measure the protrusion of the rear RCA and 75 ohm FM antenna connectors, figuring there are cable connections which will vary the usable dimensions. Let me know if you need any other specific dimensions. I hope this helps!

  • QuestionCan i hook this receiver up to the audio technica lp120 turntable that has preamp with the micca mb42x speakers

    Asked by Darkfate.

    • Answer Yes if your turntable already has a built in RIAA Phono Preamplifier, then yes you would then connect the turntable's RCA cable to any one of the LINE 1 through LINE 3 input jacks on the receiver. As far as the speakers are concerned, this receive has the potential of delivering 100 R.M.S. (i.e. Honest) watts per channel into an 8-ohm load. So yes this receiver can drive ANY speaker to a comfortable listening level in a typical residential listening environment.

  • Questionbought this unit ,hooked up to a older pair of bose 601s.i need to turn volume at about 44 to start to hear any sound,i ran a phase linear on them before ,and quarter volume you were rocking ...any thoughts...thinner gauge wires maybe ?

    Asked by greg.

    • Answer Aloha Greg - I've had this unit for a little over a month, and the one thing I've noticed is that you do have to crank them up (mid-40s and higher) before you notice the sound source. I've not checked the signal or anything, just thought it was the scaling by the company). I use mine for the tuner, and amp for CD/TV. I'm using pretty heavy gauge monster speaker wire - but as a test this weekend, I'll connect the B&W 500s I'm using w/some lighter gauge wire and see if it makes a difference. I'll save the best buy email I received with your question so I can shout out anything I do find out. v/r, duna

  • QuestionHow is the FM reception with weaker stations/signals?

    Asked by Mattski.

    • Answer I am receiving my favorite station which is sixty five miles away loud and clear using the included antenna. My receiver is located at ground level, reception is crisp and clear with great stereo separation. My main concern was the Bluetooth ability of this receiver, the great FM reception is a wonderful plus to my way of thinking.

  • Questioncan you plug this reciever into a yamaha EMX5 and play through the speaker system

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer I don't know what an EMX5 is, so I can't answer this specific question. I can say that the hookup was easy, and I now have 2 sets of speakers, a dvd player, a cd player, a cassette player, and a turntable all running through the receiver, either through dedicated inputs or input lines. In other words, there are enough jacks to connect all your stuff to the receiver, AND it has Bluetooth capability. Finally, from a sound perspective, it's a great receiver for a low-end model.
