    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.

    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.

    Excellent stereo receiver

    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.

    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.

    So I was looking for a cheap receiver to play holiday tunes on outside my house... this fit the bill. Great Bluetooth connectivity and functions. The only negative is the volume is a bit low. But you can tell it's well built and for the price. Perfect!!!

    This unit definitely lives up to the reviews. Very positive! Yamaha doesn't make a bad amp; and for the money this is a great value. Now if it had a 12ax7 pre... THAT would have been optimal... Happy with the purchase!

    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!!!

    The Yamaha - 200W 2-Ch. Stereo Receiver - Black is perfect for my home. Easy to install. Working great so far. Plus, it looks fantastic with my other old school components. Also, it has the option for blue tooth.

    I bought this for backyard use. Hooked up to two outdoor Yamaha speakers. I ran my outside tv sound through a/v cable optical adapter from Amazon. Sounds great for my yard. Recommended. Bluetooth works great also.

    It has enough power to drive my 1960's era AR2's nicely. The sound is good. So far everything works as advertised, Bluetooth and FM easy to set up and use. One of the stations I listen to is somewhat difficult to receive and I have had trouble with other tuners at my location, but the Yamaha receives it clearly with no noise.

    This receiver was not only at an affordable price, it just sounds amazing! I bought it to connect some bookshelf speakers to my turntable. My turntable has a preamp built in, so I only needed to plug in the RCA cables into the receiver. Then, I plugged in my JBL bookshelf speakers. Super easy to use, Bluetooth capabilities, and just all around good quality that you would expect to find with Yamaha!

    Solid receiver, good sound. Bluetooth is nice and works reliably - I use it to stream audio from a small PC in our conference room. Disappointed to see there was no optical audio input, otherwise happy with my purchase.

    This might be just what you are looking for... Plenty of power to drive the speakers you already have, great spec’s, and even has bluetooth to stream from your phone or ipad, etc. Priced right too! My application is a garage/workshop that I had an old Sony receiver driving a pair of tower speakers by Pioneer that have to be 30 years old... but the Sony came to a very untimely end when a shelf gave out at just the wrong time! The old speakers sound great.. this receiver has better reception on both AM and FM and the streaming is a great bonus!

    The main reason for purchasing the receiver is because of the bluetooth capabilities. It has great sounds. We have had no problems with the bluetooth connecting to devices while inside or outside our home.

    Bought to replace a 30 year old Realistic amp. A great replacement for a reasonable price. Using with 30 year old 100 watt speakers and cd player. Blue tooth makes a nice new addition. Everything sounds great.

    Easy to set up, great Bluetooth range, sound quality for 2 channel music listening is very good, especially given no dsp. After owning the insignia 2 channel stereo receiver this is a definiate upgrade.
