YAMAHA R-N303BL Stereo Receiver with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Phono

As a straight up stereo receiver, it's hard to beat this. It sounds great. If I didn't want some WiFi capabilities, I'd go with either of the cheaper Yamaha or Sony stereo receivers. For my unique set up, this receiver is a great solution. I primarily use Apple AirPlay to send music from computers and cell phones to the receiver, and it works really well so far. Also, there are no cheaper receivers made by the top AV brands that have AirPlay, so this was also one of the more economical choices. My main complaints are more with AirPlay's limitations than with this particular receiver. Basically, I wish AirPlay would operate more like Bluetooth where you can just stream whatever audio that is playing on your device to a Bluetooth receiver or speaker, but with AirPlay, you're limited to streaming audio on AirPlay enabled apps, like iTunes, to AirPlay receivers or speakers. This generally works for my purposes and there are apps that expand what you can transmit via AirPlay, so it's not a huge problem. AirPlay set up was very easy. Just connect your phone to the receiver via Bluetooth and then you can share your WiFi settings with the receiver so that it connects to the internet wirelessly. And from there, the receiver shows up on all of your devices with AirPlay. I can also start playing music through the receiver from my phone or computer when the receiver is off (or technically on standby mode), so I don't have to turn the receiver on to start streaming music via AirPlay. And I can control the volume from my phone or computer. It's fantastic and basically means I don't have to mess with the receiver once I get it set up initially. In case someone has a similar set up, I'll provide some details. Basically, I wanted high quality wireless connectivity to avoid having messy looking wires in our main living space. We have built in shelves on either side of a fireplace that also have some old school speakers set up in them in such a way that you can't see any of the speaker wires. The speaker wires go from the speaker, into the attic, and then down into some cabinets in another room about 20 feet from the speakers. Our computer is in the room with the speakers but still several few feet away from them and I wanted to avoid having additional wires and electronics going from the computer to the speakers or receiver to keep everything looking nice and wire-free. AirPlay allows this and also allows for higher music quality since WiFi streaming has more bandwidth than Bluetooth. Another issue is that there is not a visual path from my computer to the receiver -- the Bluetooth signal has to travel through a wall or two, which can also mess with the signal. Again, a WiFi receiver with AirPlay allows for me to easily play music on iTunes on the receiver. Bluetooth connectivity has ups and downs overall. It works great on my cell phone even when the signal has had to travel through a wall. In fact, I don't notice a difference in sound quality between AirPlay or Bluetooth, but I was playing MP3's, and I obviously am not an audiophile, so maybe a trained ear would hear the differences. However, my computer's Bluetooth does not recognize the receiver and it never shows up as a Bluetooth device that it can even try to connect to. This may be because the signal has to travel through two walls to get from the receiver to my computer, but the Bluetooth signal from my phone to the receiver works great even next to the computer. My computer is only a couple of years old, just like the receiver, so I would expect them to be compatible. I also worried that the receiver's Bluetooth capabilities would be disrupted by my internet router, which is located close to the receiver, but this hasn't seem to be an issue. I'd give the Bluetooth high ratings overall if my computer could connect with it. So overall, this is a great receiver for my set up. Streaming via AirPlay has been fantastic.

While this system won't impress the crowd that spends ten grand on a phono cartridge, and its 100 Watts of output power won't rattle your neighbors doors, I can say this is a very solid, good quality system for the price, and Yamaha has always had a reputation for the high quality of its "Natural Sound" line of audio gear. If you have a decent, efficient set of speakers, this unit is enough to fill your living room, den, and maybe even your backyard if it isn't too huge, with plenty of music power to please most reasonable people. If you're looking for bass you can feel in your chest, then you'll have to bust out a few more hundreds and go for a much bigger and heavier system, from Yamaha or someone else. While I wouldn't complain about one more line level analog input, this receiver has plenty: Digital: You get an optical and coax input, selectable separately, so you can have one device with optical, and another with coax, and those are separate from the analog inputs. So, the CD player can come in through optical, freeing up the CD input RCA jacks for, as an example, your TV. You get three analog line inputs: CD, Line 1, and Line 2. Line 2 is set up for a tape deck (or other analog recording / playback device). If you've kept your vintage tape deck or get a new one, there are inputs and outputs there. Plus, of course, a dedicated Phono input with built-in preamp for magnetic cartridges. (Read the manual about the Phono input.) That's not to mention the radio, Bluetooth, Internet (a multitude of services plus Net Radio), local network (Called "Server"), and AirPlay if you live in the Apple universe. (I wish it also had Android Auto.) Here's a cool feature, especially to me, who was often afraid of switching to FM after playing records: Every input has a "trim" function, where you can adjust the level up or down so all your inputs match. So, you avoid turning it up for the turntable, and being blasted out of your chair when you switch to the tuner. One fault I would give it is with the FM tuner, which in most stereos today is pretty much an afterthought anyway, except for those of us who still like the immediacy of real over-the-air radio. The first thing I noticed is on weak stations, if you're in stereo mode, it just goes on mute and (a) will not switch to mono, or (b) won't let you hear whatever quality signal it's getting (maybe some hiss is acceptable). However, on the station I was trying to hear, if I manually switched the tuner to mono mode, the station came in clear. Most receivers do that automatically, because it's a safe assumption that those selecting stereo would agree that clear mono reception is better than silence, but the Yammy makes you manually change the mode, and of course you have to remember to change back to stereo when switching to stronger stations. The FM tuner does not pick up HD channels, and the US version does not pick up the RDS info that should tell you what song is playing. The workaround for the non-HD problem is to pick up the feed on line with the Net Radio feature. In Net Radio, it will (usually) display the song and artist that's playing, as long as the station is paying attention and keeps it updated. (Looking at you, KCRW!) It would be nice if the music info on the display would scroll so I can see all of the long titles. Did I mention it has a phono input? With the resurgence of vinyl, this is great news to those of us who never really retired our turntables. The built-in preamp sounds as good as anything in this price range. If you've gotten used to a special phono preamp, or if you're using MC cartridges, then keep your preamp and use one of the line inputs. If you have a NAS or PC acting as a music server, getting that working is pretty painless if you have a phone that can run Musiccast software. I would like it to also have a web interface so I can use my Linux or Windows machines to control the receiver as well. Speaking of Musiccast, if you have a large music library like I do, trying to find a song is extremely difficult, as there is no search function. This is a feature people on forums (fora) have been asking for, for a few years, and it still does not exist in the latest version, at least for Android. If I decide to play DJ and play from my music library, I'd much rather play directly from the NAS, than to pull from the NAS with a device that can search, and then go through Bluetooth to the receiver. About network connectivity, I highly recommend using a wired connection to your network. For some reason, this receiver's WiFi only supports the old 2.4GHz channels and not the faster 5GHz ones, and the older WiFi is problematic in many areas, especially if you're in a condo or apartment building. I used a wired connection and a modest 30Mbit Internet service, and Net radio (Internet) works fine, and of course my local network (Server input) works great. Audio really doesn't require much bandwidth, but of course, if someone else is streaming HD movies, that can affect your music streaming. Bluetooth sounds amazing for what it is (streaming compressed bits over the air will never be as good as a clean analog connection to a good turntable and clean vinyl). If you notice a delay over Bluetooth, it's probably the source. I have a few laptops and other Bluetooth devices and can confirm the worst of them is several seconds lagging behind YouTube videos, and the best of them are spot on. While it does take time to digitize, transmit, receive, decode, and convert back to analog, the best transmitters (including a very cheap transmitter / receiver I bought from Amazon years ago) have undetectable delay. If you experience annoying delays from your computer, it's time to start messing with drivers, settings, and/or BT adapters, because that's probably where the problem is. By the way, this receiver does not have a switched outlet, so if you have other devices you want to come on when you turn on the receiver (turntables, custom preamps, etc.), then I recommend you get the APC P8GT 8 Outlets (search here on Amazon). I can confirm that power strip works as intended with the R-N303 as "Master". (Make sure you plug the receiver into the correct outlet.) That's just an overview of the things I've tested so far. There are cheaper receivers out there that probably sound as good, from Yamaha and other respected brands, but none that I saw had the versatility, sources, and other features as this one for the money.

So this thing is a streamer, DAC, and amplifier. Best to use it with one of the high-res streaming services like Tidal or Deezer (a European streaming platform, library seems on par with the rest). Tidal and Deezer are the only hi-res streaming options for this model as the R-N303 does not yet support AmazonHD unless you Bluetooth it. Spotify doesn't have hi-res and I'm not sure about Naspster, Pandora and the rest. It does support AirPlay so Apple lossless folks are good. This model does not connect to 5ghz Wi-Fi, only 2ghz Wi-Fi. So if you have dual band wifi make sure to connect to the 2ghz network. Setting up the wifi wasn't the funest, if you're not using WPS you have to enter the SSID and password manually which was a little bit of a pain using the remote and the tiny screen but once it's done you pretty much never have to touch the Wi-Fi settings ever again (unless you someday change your router settings). The MusicCast app is actually pretty solid, no sign-ups or logins necessary and it's not constantly trying to push some bs subscription service you don't need. It acts as remote and lets you manage and play your music from whatever (supported) streaming service you're using. The sound is excellent, very clean and neutral. I'm using a pair of Sony MDR 7506 headphones so I imagine it's even better depending on the headphones or speakers your using.

I bought 4 of these to connect 16 speakers total in 8 different zones. It is a great receiver in terms of sound quality, wireless capabilities, and ability to stream music from multiple sources straight from your phone. There are a couple of flaws and/or bugs but nothing that makes me regret this purchase and the setup I created for my home system. Now for discussing those flaws... 1) The receiver has an A/B speaker zone setup which is nice because it allows you to connect two zones into one receiver. So, as an example, I connected my 2 ceiling speakers in the Kitchen into zone A and my 2 speakers in the Family Room into zone B. You can only play the same source on the speakers and cannot turn off/on a zone from the MusicCast app. My Kitchen and Family Room area is essentially one big room so it’s not a big problem for me, but it’s important to know this limitation because if your receiver is tucked in a back room in your basement and you want the ability to have these rooms as separate zones then you will need to buy a second receiver. 2) When setting up, I was having trouble connecting to MusicCast setup on my WiFi network. I found the problem to be that you first need to update the firmware to the latest version. To do this, follow the steps on page 41 of the owners manual under “Network Update.” If you are having trouble, make sure that you connect your receiver to your WiFi network...I had to connect my manually per the directions in the owners manual on page 16. Outside of this, the receivers have been great. You have the ability to turn on/off a receiver directly through the MusicCast app which is really a nice feature so your receivers don’t have to be “on” constantly. The receiver has good power and is very reasonably priced to buy multiple units to power your in ceiling speakers. I use the receivers to stream my iTunes music that I have stored directly on my phone. You can also stream music from Amazon music, Spotify, Pandora, and others. Also, works with Apple AirPlay which truly makes streaming music foolproof. Lastly, the streaming is through WiFi so you are not dealing with the limited range and in/out capabilities of Bluetooth. I have a mesh WiFi network that covers a large home and the receiver has worked flawlessly.

I want to make two main points: *The main way to interact with this receiver is through the MusicCast app – which is sensational. *Accessing iTunes library and playlists MusicCast I want to emphasize that the best and easiest way to control this receiver is via the free, non-subscription MusicCast app on your phone. Download it. Install it. You will love it. I bring this up because the description of MusicCast on the Amazon product page presented MusicCast parenthetically as an interesting, non-essential side option. Having had no experience with MusicCast, I had no context, and I suspected it was just another subscription service – that I didn’t want to pay for. Turns out it’s awesome. Get it. Use it. Despite that Yamaha has made other apps available in the Apple Store and Play Store for other receivers -- for this receiver, use the MusicCast app. Finally, the manual that comes with the receiver has a single line in it that mentions the MusicCast app. The rest is devoted to manually controlling the receiver with its on board switches and dials. Forget about those, use the MusicCast app. In my house, two of us have the app loaded on our phones. So, both of us can control the receiver independently. The MusicCast app gives you access to all of the different net channels this receiver is capable of connecting to. This includes many of the different streaming services. I can access hundreds of net radio stations from all over the world. Just search with the app. Find one you like, save it as a net radio favorite. Very nice and easy. I like a jazz station from Scotland. I am super excited to have instant access to KROQ Roq of the 80’s (KROQ HD2) station that is faithfully reprising the station’s 80’s alternative rock playlists. I also use the app to get access to my iTunes music library. I’m going to talk about that next… Accessing iTunes library and playlists It was finally time to upgrade my 38-year-old Kenwood KR-65 trusty receiver. I had been playing my iTunes library through this receiver by hooking up either an iPod or a laptop to the AUX input. Using the laptop, I could access my live iTunes library (stored on my desktop computer) through my home network by selecting it in iTunes. The problem with any of these methods is that in order to listen to music, I had to turn on my desktop and my laptop, and load iTunes onto both machines. Time-consuming waiting for the computers to boot and settle down. And the digital-to-audio-conversion (DAC) was done in the ipod or the laptop – not high quality. I needed to have a simpler, speedier, and higher fidelity setup. But I still wanted to have access to my iTunes library. And purchasing a $1000-$2000 Apple iPad or Macbook just to play music was NOT the solution I was going to consider. Here’s how I did it. I bought a 128GB flash drive from Amazon. I plugged that flash drive into a USB port on my wireless router. Then, using my router’s admin app, I configured the flash drive as a Media Server (DNLA). In Windows 10, I configured the flash drive as a network drive. Next, I created the following folders on the flash drive… I:\itunesflash\iTunes Media (I:\ represents the root of the network flash drive. (You can designate the flash drive as a network drive and assign a drive letter to it.) Then I moved my iTunes folders from my desktop hard drive into the I:\itunesflash\iTunes Media folder. So my folder arrangement looks like… I:\itunesflash\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes I:\itunesflash\iTunes Media\Downloads I:\itunesflash\iTunes Media\iPod Games I:\itunesflash\iTunes Media\Music I:\itunesflash\iTunes Media\TV Shows Hence, all of my iTunes music now is physically stored on the network flash drive. You have to tell iTunes about this move, so… In iTunes do this… Edit->Preferences->Advanced. Then enter the new path in the iTunes Media folder location field. Mine looks like this… I:\itunesflash\iTunes Media With this arrangement, I can manage my iTunes music library mainly from my desktop and get access to it on the home network with the Yamaha receiver, PlayStation, Xbox…. So, what about playlists? In order to access playlists, I had to export each iTunes playlist one-at-a-time. I exported them to the following directory… I:\itunesflash\iTunes Media In iTunes, open your iTunes library. Select a playlist. Then do this File->Library->Export Playlist. Choose the *.m3u file type. Before you proceed to other playlists, open up the MusicCast app. Choose Server->YourLocalNetworkName->Music->Playlists. Check to see if your playlist shows up. If not, you might need to make some path adjustments so MusicCast can find your playlist on your network drive. If successful, then export all the playlists you want. The only thing is that you will need to export a playlist again if you make any changes to it in iTunes – or when you add new playlists in iTunes. As a result, and with the help of this fabulous Yamaha receiver, I have very successfully made the transition from an entirely wired home music system to a mostly wireless system (still have my Dual turntable connected). Now my principal Digital-to-audio-converter (DAC) resides in the receiver instead of the laptop or ipod. Music quality is stunningly improved. I now have greater access to my music from a variety of devices (Yamaha receiver, Playstation, Xbox) – and I have access instantly. I no longer need to turn on two computers in order to play my iTunes playlists through my receiver and vintage Advent loudspeakers. I hope this helps.

I bought this to replace a 20+ year old Pioneer receiver whose A/B speaker selector switches failed. I was looking for a simple replacement with a proper phono input, and speaker output connections able to take banana jacks. This model caught my eye, and I have another, more high-end Yamaha AV receiver that I have been quite happy with so decided to give it a try. The Bluetooth, Internet and Alexa features I viewed as something I was not likely to use, as the old Pioneer obviously did not have them. Well, it turns out I was wrong about that. I read over the manual before connecting, and discovered that if you connect an internet cable to the rj45 jack on the back before the first power-up, the receiver will connect to the internet automatically. No WiFi setup needed. Since my router is nearby, I tried it and sure enough, it did! So I installed the Yamaha Music-Cast app on my Android phone, paired it up with the receiver and started playing around with Internet Radio. This turned out to be way more fun than using a PC, I guess because the sound is so much better on real speakers. You can set up to 40 presets that include Internet radio, too. I also set up the two Yamaha Alexa skills for this device, and sure enough, I can turn it on/off, run volume up/down and change inputs between Tuner, Optical, Bluetooth, Phono, etc., all via voice commands. It works, but I've found that by far the best way to control the receiver remotely is via the Music Cast app on my phone. The receiver comes with a traditional remote, but I almost never use it - as the phone does everything the remote does, and more: It allows you to browse Internet radio and playlists on whatever streaming services you may use (Spotify, etc.). Oddly, even though this receiver can be controlled with Alexa skills, Amazon music is not one of the built-in supported music streaming services. However, I connected an Echo Dot to one of the inputs (which was how I did it with my old receiver) and that works just fine. The Bluetooth feature turns out to be rather handy as well: I can play over the receiver from a laptop or phone over 20 feet away with no problems. Sound quality is fine, as you would expect from Yamaha, and power more than adequate for my needs for a kitchen and dining room. There are a couple of minor things I would change if I could, however. The biggest gripe I have is that the lettering on the front panel is awfully small. I cannot read it without finding my glasses. That problem is not unique to Yamaha though. It seems all audio equipment goes for tiny lettering on an all-black panel. I wish I could order the "Large Print" edition :-). Since I mostly use my phone to control it though, this is not that much of an issue. The other problem I have may not be the receiver's fault. I find that after a power failure, when the power comes back on, the receiver does not always reconnect to my router. (It is hard-wired via the RJ45 jack.) I sometimes have to unplug the Ethernet cable from the receiver for a few seconds after the router has fully restarted, and plug it back in. Then it connects just fine. This seems like it could be due to the receiver powering up first, before the router is ready, the receiver finding anything on the ethernet cable, and then giving up. Disconnecting and reconnecting seems to restart the connection. Bottom line: This has been a lot of fun - I wish I'd upgraded sooner.

Well the product itself sounded great.I had three 8inch 4ohm 300w speakers hooked to speaker A and two 5.25inch JBL GTOs at 8ohms 100w hooked to speaker B and it thumped the house down, especially when i had my sound blaster EQ going with the bass. I had an older Yamaha receiver from 2001..thing lasted forever no matter what was hooked up to it. it sounded awesome also, bought it from best buy for 500 bucks. So when i saw this stereo i thought why not..time to replace the old system, for 300 bucks i was expecting almost the same sound and all. sound was actually better from this model, i was shocked in how it sounded..but it only took less then two years for it to putt out on me. 3 weeks ago i was playing it rather loud I admit..was playing like a bass dance kinda song called "we transform sound into light" by An-Ten-Nae about a min into the song...suddenly it made kinda of a loud popping sound through speakers as it clicked off, i turned it back on and when the second click came on it made a unusual clicking sound then shut back off, won't turn back on now period, all i get out of it now is when i plug it in, the stand by light comes on. when i press the power button on unit or remote the light just pulses for about 5secs then stops..doesn't even try to turn on. So kinda mad at myself cause it was probably to many speakers connected to it at a weird ohmage but also kinda mad that the stereo couldn't keep up for years to come..like i said my old Yamaha took allot more beating over the years from the speakers that were hooked to it, it took it all..sold it about 3 years ago for 35 bucks on Facebook. Wish i hadn't cause now i have no stereo atm. I just bought another Yamaha receiver from best buy that's almost identical to this model..but a tad bit smaller with less inputs and it's only 200w. Doesn't have any of the smart features like this one does but it was only 150 bucks. Not gonna spend another 300 bucks on a stereo..at least if my new one goes out within two years I'll only have spent 150 instead of 300 again which now they charge 500 bucks for it. I do miss that stereo allot, was the best sounding one i had, but apparently it doesn't like being abused with that ohmage drop. Clicks off 2 easily when the bass hits low..only thing i hated allot was the Bluetooth, its absolute garbage.. Constantly lagging music cutting in and out, cutting off completely at times and losing connection. The reviews saids it all lol..according to the new one i got ppl complain about it doing the same thing so probably won't use Bluetooth on that stereo either. Sounds like Yamaha needs to improve these models with better Bluetooth chips haha. I don't like the fact it's 500 bucks now. I coulda bought another but wasn't gonna spend that much..i know what the stereo can do and all its smart features. Maybe 400 bucks but not 500 especially when i paid only 300 for it a year a half ago. Its not that fantasy haha..kinda another thing i wasn't to crazy about it..the look is rather dull and boring looking. Need to add a light around the volume control our something. Have it stand out.

I had my eye on this Yamaha R-N303BL network stereo receiver for some years. I wanted it to connect my TV (running a Roku dongle), to a pair of HiFi speakers and to my DVD player. I am not interested in 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound, so this R-N303 seemed perfect. When it went on sale just after Xmas 2023, I bought one. On the whole, I am satisfied with it. But in hindsight, I wish I'd talked with the Yamaha customer service staff first, and I might have made a different choice. My key disappointment is that this receiver isn't really built to handle TV input, as was pointed out to me by a Yamaha rep. In fact, she told me that if I wanted TV, I should have bought a true AV receiver (like the RX-V385 or something from their Avantage series). And that is true despite what the advertising blurbs from Yamaha and posted on Amazon say ("Optical and coaxial Audio inputs for TV,” “Optical TV Input,” etc. etc.). Also, the description of Connector Type here on Amazon erroneously specifies “HDMI.” But the R-N303 receiver does NOT feature any HDMI jacks at all. What it does have are optical and coax jacks (both of which have lower bandwidth than true HDMI). That lack should have been a dead giveaway to me for limited TV capability (but I was still on my learning curve when I purchased it). Now, my DVD player was built in 2006 and has true HDMI output. I connected it’s HDMI out line to my Samsung TV of about 2012 vintage, which has true HDMI input. That left the optical & coax lines. Following Web directions (from Whathifi’s “Coaxial vs optical vs HDMI” site, & Yamaha’s “R-N602 Features“ site), I connected my TV’s Audio output to the R-N303’s optical input, and my DVD player’s audio output to the R-N303’s coaxial input. Relative to true HDMI, signal resolution has been lost, I’m sure. So this set-up is not ideal but it works pretty good. And it does what I want, which is to listen to TV on a good set of HiFi speakers (Polk Audio Signature Elite ES15 Bookshelf Speakers, rated at 100W RMS for 2 channels & therefore matched perfectly to the 100W RMS output of the R-N303). It was not easy to connect to my Wi-Fi network. I tried the “Manual” connection about 10 times and never could get it to work. On my 3rd attempt to use the WPS connection mode (which uses a WPS button on my router), it worked. Another Yamaha rep told me that the selling point of the R-N303 was that it was easiest to connect & control using a smart phone. Sorry, not interested in that (plus it made me wonder, if it were true, what was missing with the Yamaha remote?) Anyway, once the hand-shake was made using the WPS connection method, it holds permanently. (Note that I cannot comment on the Bluetooth functionality because my system does not use Bluetooth at all.) One other thing that puzzles/bothers me: I have to crank the R-N303 up to 40% audio level to reach a normal listening level, which seems high to me. A Yamaha rep told me that this is because the R-N303’s volume controls are set to a log scale, because supposedly this makes volume adjustment easier at normal listening levels. Go figure. But that’s what I was told. A couple of positive points: This morning, the R-N303 told me on its digital readout that it needed an update, so I clicked “Approve” & it updated, then asked me to manually turn it off then on, and all is great again. Also, this morning I was trying to listen to an Ornette Coleman Birthday Broadcast on the radio, so I decided to try to tune it in on the R-N303. Without so much as digging through the 57-page manual, it was fantastically easy to find: Select Net Radio, then Station Type (College”), then an alphabetic search backwards till I came to WKCR and bing! it’s been playing all day now. On the other hand, searching through the list of music on my network computer is VERY slow: the R-N303 can only buffer about 6-7 song titles before it pauses to fetch more from my network computer, then it comes back with another 6-7 song titles. So that is VERY slow. You’d think Yamaha would allocate more memory to such a simple yet vital search function. In retrospect, I think I’d been happier if I’d saved my pennies for another year, then sprung for a true AV receiver, as one Yamaha rep advised me. As far as that goes, the RX-V385 would not have worked for me because it only has Bluetooth but not Wi-Fi and my network runs on Wi-Fi; plus it’s only 70W RMS for 2 channels. That means I’d have bought the entry level RX-A2A Avantage, which can drive 2 channels at 100W RMS, has both Bluetooth & Wi-Fi, and boasts 7 HDMI jacks in & 1 HDMI jack out. But it retails at $999.95 or almost 3 times the $349.95 price tag of the R-N303! That would have taken me another 2 years to save up for! But IMHO it seems to be a better receiver all the way around. Anyway, as I say, this R-N303 does do the job for me. But I advise others to look into it carefully & carefully evaluate what you want, before purchasing one.

This unit is great for streaming services, can hook up two sets of speakers, radio services and it is a Yamaha, quality is second to none! Have had many Yamaha products and have never been disappointed.

Sin duda este es un amplificador que permite aprovechar lo mejor de las opciones retro (Phono, CD, etc.) y la música en streaming, Todo siempre en Alta Definición. Por lo tanto se trata de un equipo que te da acceso a lo mejor de los dos mundos, del pasado y del presente. Excelente opción para entrada al Hi Fi. El único pero es que no tiene una salida a subwoofer, pero es una cuestión que tiene una solución muy sencilla con con una conexión de Alto Nivel (conectar las 4 salidas de los 2 parlantes de zona A ó B a las entradas del subwoofer activo según corresponda en Right o Left) para los que prefieren bajos más contundentes. El radio con Antena o en Streaming es de calidad superior. En resumen, feliz por escuchar música en un nivel superior.

o som é otimo mesmo usando streaming. Correspondeu às expectativas Recomendo

Exelente

works really well. i have yet to use some on the on-line features, but it works really well in bluetooth mode. also very nice sounding with excellent range within my TT set-up. highly recommended for this price point!!
