does all i want to do ....love the bluetooth......connects from in the house to garage about 50 feet away...enough power for a pair of jbl 100's that are my garage speakers good purchase and yamaha quality

I could not be happier with this purchase. Yamaha just makes great products. This was bought as an open box item, so I even got a better deal! Bluetooth pairing with my iPhone was as simple as possible. Solid performance throughout the sound spectrum with powerful low end and crystal highs. Wattage is just perfect, everyone who heard it fired up was impressed. I did crank it up and it sounded beautiful! You just can't go wrong with Yamaha!

I was totally surprised with the sonic quality of this stereo amplifier. It is an awesome unit for the price. My previous amplifier was a Yamaha and it lasted over 30 years. I am very impressed with the quality and ease of use of my new stereo amplifier. The best feature is the built in Bluetooth receiver. It flawlessly connects to my iPhone and now I can stream music that will play on my legacy speakers. This is a great feature because you do not have to buy expensive proprietary speaker systems and components. The older speakers sound really great using Bluetooth. I would recommend this unit to anyone.

Nothing fancy, just a basic 2 channel receiver. Great sound, decent power, and a good price.

excellent sound, ease of use make this a wonderful addition to your Home or Garage or Anywhere else you are looking for a Bluetooth capable Stereo, you found it! 200 watts is perfect!

This receiver is a really great buy for the money. Easy to hook up and use. Depending on how new your other components are, you may need to add a sub woofer and a newer turntable that has an option for line OR phono inputs. This will allow you to really hear the lower register of music, and give you a nice full sound. The turntable I bought was the Audio Technica AT-LP60 for $89. Sounds great.

Great receiver for the price! Plenty of power & depth of sound. Bluetooth range is great and it’s very easy to set up.

This is a perfect starting point for a quality 2 channel setup. I personally prefer a class AB sound to the lower end class D amps that are popular these days. Not to say those don't have their value and use, but this is legitimately a fine starting point for a multi-source hi-fi setup. Looks to have 6800μF per channel which is not half bad and gets very close to it's rated power at a THD which is not a completely unreasonable distortion level, something to double check with other units. I will say that the newer Yamaha models have a more neutral and laid back presentation than the typical V curve "Hi, I'm here!" sound that Yamaha was known for during the 90s/00s. It does seem to have slightly forward upper top end but easily adjustable with tone control and very much dependent on equipment pairing. Overall though, this is a slightly warm, laid back, fairly neutral unit that will pair well with many different speakers and sources. One thing I noticed was that lower quality recordings were still listenable, even with speakers known to be somewhat revealing. I have also found this to be the case with the higher end Yamaha models as well and is a real asset in this day and age. I can't really find too much to fault here given it's price point and overall performance, just don't expect it to be able to power large demanding speakers to high dB levels. You'll enjoy this unit for years to come.

The unit arrived as expected. This is simple and very good receiver with 2 channels for speakers. I used one channel for outdoor speakers, one for indoor. To my surprise both channels could be on at the same time, didn't realize that at first. Overall economical and solid choice for good quality startup sound systems Bluetooth is a big plus.

I've been looking to power my Bose 301's for sometime wirelessly. I've tried higher end receivers with WiFi without success. I always had connectivity issues. I decided to go bluetooth and this has proven effective. I needed an adaptor which was inexpensive but the connectivity is no problem and sounds great. I know audiophiles are not fans of bluetooth but I can't hear the difference. I also needed an inexpensive pre-amp for the turn table as this one does not have phono inputs. Great value for the price!

Have this receiver in the garage and love the fact I can use my cel phone to listen to my music. Also the channels (A/B) allows you to have two different sets of speakers in two different locations. You can play music on one channel or the other or both at the same time. Excellent purchase and very economic.

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.

Great sound! Replaced my old receiver, which had failed after many years. Was surprised at the improvement in sound clarity and depth. More volume than I can use. Tuner section is a definite improvement over my old system. There are a few features that work well but you have to read the manual to understand how to set them up. You can set the initial volume when the unit turns on. You can set the maximum volume you wish to have, or just let it blast out the full 200 watts - careful for your speakers, if they will not handle this volume. A good option. I am not using a phonograph, so I do not need a preamp feature, which is missing from this unit - too bad. If you need the preamp feature you will have to buy a seprate feature or buy a more expensive unit that incorporates the device. Overall, I am very happy with this unit. The remote control is easy to use, but a little large. Miss being able to set stations and going directly to them, but going up/down the presets is common now. The AM section is useless. The AM antenna does not really work.

Does what i need it to do! AM/FM antebna could be a bit more powerful. However the quality of Bluetooth is excellent. Hooked up to a pair of Sony bookshelf speakers and the sound is excellent. Even more so for the price. I highly recommend!!!

I paired this receiver with some Polk Audio bookshelf speakers and the sound was great. Also hooked the TV up to it and the sound far exceeded my expectations. The Blue Ray was a breeze to set up. What more can you say. I'm very happy with all the results.

The Yamaha 2 channel receiver has nice looks and the bluetooth is easy to hook up to any remote sending device such as ipod or tablet, iphone or android device. Clear sound and having AM as well as FM is a plus because SONY's equivalent two channel unit does not have an AM band for local sports and news like this Yamaha has. Super bargain for the price. Using with a pair of Klipsh book shelf speakers is just right.

It is a great system to use. I bought it for my garage and hooked it up to four Cerwin Vega floor speakers. They sound awesome and it has plenty of power to push sound to all four speakers. I love the Bluetooth on it as it makes it easier to connect to my phone.

This is an excellent receiver. I just needed a stereo receiver for my wife to listen to CD's and the radio. I already had a net of NHT bookshelf speakers that I wasn't using. Hooked up the receiver to the speakers and it worked great. I wanted something that would be easy for my wife to use and with the included remote she can simply access the input she needs to listen to what she wants. As you would expect this is a pretty basic receiver. RCA inputs, speaker connections for 2 pairs of speakers and that's about it but it works great and sounds great too. I ended up using the 3.5mm connection on her Sony 900E TV to connect to the receiver and now she can watch TV and listen through the receiver and speakers. If you are looking for the basic 2 channel receiver this is an excellent choice and the price is right too.

I have been a Yamaha audio fan for years...this receiver does what I think Yamaha receivers excel at: sounding great. This receiver has a clean sound in the Yamaha tradition. Bluetooth reception is the digital toy for fast connection; for the person who wants all connected audio, this is a good choice. Output at 100 watts per channel never disappoints.

I was looking for a receiver from my garage and this fit the bill perfectly. It has great Bluetooth connectivity and enough wattage to power two bookshelf speakers. I am extremely happy with this receiver!! Highly recommend!!
