Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted a receiver to replace my 40 year old Sansui 771 receiver that I had at the office. I have a portable XM Radio that I wanted to hook up and wanted to listen to some talk radio on AM. I was looking for HD radio, but that seemed hard to find in a modestly priced receiver. With some adjustment, I got the AM radio to work pretty well, despite the florescent lighting. The remote control makes it easy to go between AM/FM and my satellite radio. If I am not satisfied with AM reception, the Bluetooth feature is good to connect my smartphone to iHeart Radio or wireless listen to music on my phone.

The receiver allowed me to input sound from my DVD player and TV so that I could use my large speakers to get far better sound output than I could from the speakers built into the TV. Overall we have been quite favorably pleased with this receiver’s combination of price and features. My only complaint is that I am tired of the trend of black equipment cases and fronts on which it is hard to read what each control knob or button regulates because the labeling lacks sufficient contrast and the font used is relatively small. Sometimes it is nice to make an adjustment without using the remote control.

I bought this specifically for the purpose of playing my old Cerwin Vega LS-12 floor speakers from college. I've brought them with me for the last 20+ years and finally I have a room big enough to justify running them. I'm pleased to report they still get just as loud as I remember, and this receiver is why. It puts out plenty of clean power - they sound great! The Bluetooth is super-simple so you just control everything on your phone/tablet. I even use one of the inputs with my ipod via a simple RCA 2 into 1 adapter. I can play my entire digital music catalogue simply and easily. So this receiver was perfect for me and this application. I just needed a simple 2-channel receiver and this fit the bill perfectly.

Very nice receiver, with lots of power and Bluetooth connectivity is excellent. Easy to use with other components line 3 has an output which you could use it as a pre-out to hook up another component or run into an amp. I’ve been up to 80 feet away without losing connection to the Bluetooth even walking outside it goes through walls excellent no interruptions. The only minor drawback is the small spring clips for speaker connections.

Provides great sound. I paired this with Yamaha outdoor speakers. Very easy to operate. You don't need the remote to set channels. Totally satisfied. Bluetooth is a great feature. Great price for the sound quality.

The installation was easy and the sound is good. I had previously purchased a different one that wasn’t working with our TV, but this one was easy.

The need was for a basic 2 channel stereo amplifier with enough power to drive one set of speakers. Primarily using for playing my vinyl collection, cassette tape collection and the occasional CD. After hooking it all up and firing it up for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised not only with the power but with the fidelity of the sounds coming from that old vinyl. The only con for this unit is it did not have the pre-amp built in for the turntable. That is a feature that's hard to find on many receivers these days at 3 times the price. A separate pre amp purchase was a simple and economical fix.

I reviewed a number of potential receivers at this price point, and decided to buy the Yamaha 200W to replace a 30 year old AIWA mini component stereo. The form factor just barely fit in the cabinet it needed to go in. The sound is incredible. I have Klipsch 5 floor standing speakers and at a level of 85, the sound was crystal clear with zero distortion. These speakers are old - had them for 35 years - but they were built tough. One complaint is that you MUST start with your sound setting at FIFTY to hear anything. I too, thought it was broken at first, but it was just the volume setting. Other than that, simple install and setup. Very happy with it. This will pair with our new TCL 55" TV.

Clear sound, works amazing with our old school Peavey speakers. The blue tooth is a great addition as well as having the remote control!

Its a good unit. easy to set up and sounds good. Wish it had outlets to plug in components. Ok tuner. Very good price for what you get.

Got it for a good price,quality was excellent as Yamaha usually is. Bluetooth was simple and worked great two thumbs up on this receiver.

Very good stereo for the price. I needed a system for a vacation home and this one fit the bill. Great sound and blue tooth connectivity too!

Great sound quality I have to say. I was surprised at this due to the price being so affordable, but pleasantly surprised the sound is crystal clear and great. I am using 4 speakers with this, two of which are polk. I honestly don't recall what the other two are. But all 4 speakers sound great with this receiver.

5 stars. Great receiver that has an excellent value for only $150. No fiddling with speaker wire when it doesn't fit correctly. Clear audio and Bluetooth. The Bluetooth introduces 60ms of lag (not a problem if using with just music).

The new Samsung TV did not have the 'old style' audio out jack..and it was time to get a better receiver that could manage the more modern world... all I needed was a good rig..two channel stereo and Bluetooth Enabled compatible for sound from the TV.. works great. The Yamaha brand looks good and fit well and comfortably with my new 'high end' TV and existing Bose speakers. Works and sounds great! I recommend this receiver for friends and customers..

What a great unit! It's well priced and served my needs perfectly. I have it setup in my garage powering 2 bookshelf speakers in the garage and then feeding 2 yamaha outdoor speakers. The audio is crisp and clear, there aren't any issues with the inputs and bluetooth is solid. The unit is sleek and there aren't any unnecessary or cluttered buttons. It's straightforward for a multi-channel stereo system and perfect.

Great stereo easy to set up, good price and quality

I'm very pleased with this unit,low price quality Yamaha receiver. Would highly recommend to a friend!

Love the product and the Bluetooth capability. Sufficient power to produce nice sound. Great bang for the buck!

Great receiver for the price. Sound is a little different than my old Yamaha receiver but still sounds good and power is about the same as my R7. It has some good features like 5 inputs, Bluetooth and sleep timer.
