Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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!

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.

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.

This is a very basic unit, but works well. Limited inputs but the bluetooth connection works which is the main input we use with this unit. Plenty of power to play loud if you would like. You do need to use the remote though to generate the bluetooth link.

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..

Really happy with this receiver. It replaced a 40 yr old Onkyo. Bluetooth works seamlessly. What I do want to give a shout out to is Zach at the Aurora store. Bought an open box excellent which did not work. Returned it to the store and Zach replaced it with a new one at no additional cost. Great customer service which keeps me coming back to this store for my electronics,

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.

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.

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

Sound quality is good, nice to have built in Bluetooth. Just what I was looking for to hook a set of bookshelf speakers to.

This Yamaha receiver does everything I expected and more. With 200 watts plenty of power and love the bluetooth.

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.

Easy to set up. Has bluetooth. Used to play CD's for music primarily over the holidays. Pricing was good for the value.

So far I'm completely satisfied with it. The bluetooth range and capacity is great and sound is exceptional.

Strongly built, excellent sound, bluetooth works right away. Planning to buy a second one for my office

Love the bluetooth option. Includes lots of other features as advertised!

I’m absolutely satisfied with this Yamaha receiver. Excellent quality and the Bluetooth is a plus.
