It has better sound reproduction than the comparable Yamaha products from five years earlier. The tuner resolves stereo better, even with the same sensitivity specification. The tuner is about 10dB better than FM receivers from the 20-teens era. Modern "bluetooth" receivers in the $200+ range are a disappointment in that respect. It is easy to operate with its "mode" buttons on the front panel. The "CD Direct" button is rather a quaint notion. The receiver is reliable: my comparable RX-395 lasted 20 years before it lost one channel. It has real banana-jack-binding-posts for the speakers. The FM antenna port uses a real coaxial jack instead of a spring-clip thing. The FM antenna jack is an unusual design that is not an F connector. Don't lose your adapter! I discovered that I can feed audio into it through one of the "tape deck output ports". I don't know what use that is, but you can demonstrate it to impress your friends.Read full review

Yamaha has been a leader in Stereo sound support systems for decades and this in one of there flagship product first developed in the 80's and continued throughout the 90's. Part of the "Natural Sound" systems it faithfully reproduces your source sound whether it be CD, FM/AM, or from an auxillary source. A major feature that only found in the Yamaha system is the "Direct" switch which bypasses all the sound modifiers (treble, bass, loudness, etc.) if you are an audiophile fan you will use this functionality with your turntable (Phono) or CD to listen to your recordings exactly as they were engineered by the original recording artist. One other feature for the audiophile fan is the ability to add a graphic equalizer to the Tape loop output/input and shape the sound to suite your environment or listening area producing the perfect flat reproduction.Read full review

The 1980-'s and 1990's Yamaha receivers are great values. If you buy one, get the power supply caps replaced ASAP. Factor that cost into your buying decision.
