Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not good at all . I called to see why I need to turn valume up almost 3/4 to hear sound then unit shuts down . I went in store to find out why both times no answer. It was an open box item and was told sales are final .

its a good product very usefull in my home with great sound

Title says it all: doesn’t work with record players without a built-in preamp. A separate phono stage couldn’t save this receiver, therefore save your money for a receiver that has a dedicated phono input

not very worth this price. If sony or denon's product is available in stock, I might buy those two brand's products.

They sent me a bad receiver, the volume has to be turned up to 25 before hearing anything from the speakers. Wish I could exchange it or get a refund. It was delivered 5/1/20. Just tested it June 2, couple days past the date for refunds. SMH!!!

works great we are using it as a back up right now

After connecting to my various components and new Polk bookcase speakers I could barely get a whisper of sound via the volume control. When I increased the volume, the receiver shut off. This happened repeatedly. I returned the unit to Best Buy the following day and was reimbursed for the cost. I later saw reviews that described the same problem.

This is such a well priced item so it might not be fair to give it two stars. It is well built, looks okay and have okay features. I just didn't like the quality of the sound but you might so give it a listen before you buy

FM reception about average. Didn't receive all local radio stations even with a booster.

About the on,y drawback is having to crank up the volume to 50 to hear through my bookshelf speakers.

Simple enough for connecting to a CD player. Disappointed in the bass response and the lack of a balance control. Otherwise, it serves it's purpose for playing music.

We set this up and it would constantly kick the speakers off, which I read was a problem in other reviews.

Pushes some good volume. Bluetooth is not as seamless as it could be. Also some delays in sound via Bluetooth at times.

Not that great, returned product. May say Yamaha on the outside but that where the quality and feel ends.

Overall a very good receiver the only problem is that it has no sound until you turn it up to 50 decibels

A very big difference in sound volume between Bluetooth and any other input ( Line 1, TV, etc). It seems the amplifier gain (dB) is not sufficient on the line input to get anywhere near 100 Watts per channel. Typical DVDs don't put out much signal and there is not enough amplification. Do not recommend unless you only use the Bluetooth mode.

Just hooked it up to two new Sony speakers I purchased at Best Buy yesterday and I believe the unit is defective or grossly underpowered. It didn’t sufficiently power two small Boston Acoustic bookshelf speakers either. Very disappointing.

Sound quality not satisfactory. Noticed lack of richness of the sound of the music right away

I bought this amplifier as a stand in for my ancient Marantz 2270, used to drive my ancient Ray Cizek speaker in my workshop, whilst the Marantz is out for a refurb. It has nominally adequate power, but the 100 watts/channel claimed don't come anyplace near that of my Marantz 2270, which is nominally 70 watts RMS per channel. The lack of large power supply caps inside is indicative of why it does not compare well to the Marantz? The power supply caps are TINY compared to the Marantz.... no large current reservoir (no large capacitors)? No solid bass. Punkt. Overall I was happy with the box for the ~$150 I paid... except? It forgets what input is selected even while online. I have it connected to my computer via Bluetooth and analog "Line 1" inputs, and after a time with either input selected, it just disconnects. It will ALWAYS be not connected when the power is turned on. Such a discapointment, as Popeye would say.

If i could have returned it i would have. U have to turn it up to 50-60 to start to hear the music. And plus i cant get the buletooth to work. And nothing came with it to say how... I bought because it was sony. Guess i should have went with a off name
