Just what I needed. Wife gave me a unexpected turntable for xmas so decided to create an old school 2 channel stereo stack with 4 100w speakers like had back in my room as a kid. This thing does the trick and it has Bluetooth with lets me steam from phone or other devices. On to EQ so I can fine tune the sounds that shape me.

I haven’t been using this stereo receiver very long but I it seems to work for my needs. It allows me to hook up a variety of equipment which includes my computer. I’m not exactly sure what controls sound output but, the volume is not as strong as I would have liked. I have to set the volume setting anywhere from 50 to 70 to get enough volume, and that is not a blasting sound. The max volume setting is 99. I am using 8 ohm speakers as recommended, so I’m not sure why the volume it lacking. The Bluetooth connection is great! I love having that convenience for streaming music. I also like that most of the main controls are on the front, so I don’t need to be dependent on the remote. The item was well packed and survived shipping without any damage; good job Yamaha.

bad sound very little volume when you turn the volume up did'nt like the the system at all . that's why i returned it

I just bought this unit yesterday. It sounds great, the build quality is nice also. What surprised me, is the Best Buy associates knew very little about this device. I asked whether I could run a subwoofer off of it and I got a lot of detail about why I could not do so. That was all wrong! It runs great, I take it out of channel a to the Bose acoustic mass and then run the satellite units off that subwoofer. It is a passive subwoofer the sound is spectacular. Sure, the satellite speakers are a little bit tiny and lack mid range. However I could also have a run B channel into a powered sub and again there was massive debate with the Best Buy associate who kept saying it would not work. His reasoning was unclear and faulty in my opinion. I have done this with an old receiver also and they work great. I highly recommend this unit.

I purchased this about a week ago. It sounds great. I use it for my CD player and the FM radio. I would have given it 5 stars but I have a slight problem with it. I usually listen to FM when falling asleep. However, after 9 hours, the unit powers down. I have no idea why. There's nothing in the manual about it. There is a sleep timer (mine is set to off) that goes as high as 120 minutes.

Love the bluetooth capability. Disappointed equalizer could not be hooked up after seeing other reviews that it can be. Not a bad thing since the unit sounds good through my Polk speakers.

awesome sound when connected to my cd player. Would recommend

Great little receiver especially for the price. I am an analog stereo two channel music fan and I paired this with a Rega P3 turntable and Polk Audio speakers. I recommend.

Great sound in my speakers. My first receiver with BlueTooth option, and it was easy to pair my iPhone with it.

Good sound. Easy to setup. I miss the ‘Balance’ knob that used to always be there in the past.

Great Receiver makes the TV sound better. It has Bluetooth. It's light.

Great sound. Easy setup. No need for a tv or anything. Run with phone

This was a great match for the size and sound I wanted in my Man Cave area. This unit was also purchased a good value.

Great sounding system for my outdoor speakers. Long Bluetooth range.

Great receiver for the money. Im going to need more power to run my rtr 15 eviction series speakers. I have my system bi-wired and the sound is awesome, i also added the onkyo 6 disk cd player great combination! I am running both a&b channels at the same time on the eviction series but need a bit more power,but i expected it to be just shy on power.

I was able to ascertain what amplifier I needed from the description but more technical information would have helpful. It was time to replace the Marantz am/fm amplifier/receiver I purchased in 1972. I was surprised by the low price for the very capable Yamaha. It was easy to set up. I am happy.

This Receiver is an absolutely outstanding piece of stereo equipment! Do not let the price distract you from the performance of this excellent Yamaha receiver. Excellent features, clear crisp, sound, a wonderful traditional 2 channel item. I'd buy this again in an instant!

Nice looking,sounds good. would like a larger screen.

Great basic receiver. Have not used much but so far it’s great. I use it for my pool speakers on Bluetooth. My theater receiver is Yamaha and love it

Perfect for a simple audio only reciver. It calls for 8 ohm loads max but im a bit lower than that and sure it gets a but hotter but if you add a push pull fan setup as in a small window fan with 2 sides going on full yiu will be hust fine. I can run it full blast for hours with no problems. Going full out it takes 290 watts at the wall which is less than the 400+ i would of expected being 200w x2 rms but here we are...companies with their bs claims.
