What does the Yamaha r-s700 stereo receiver look like?

The R-S700 is almost a throwback to another era. Aesthetically, it looks like a standard black receiver. Up close though, its simplicity reminds me of the old stereo integrated amplifier my father had when I was growing up. It has knobs for bass, treble, and balance, as well as a loudness adjustment.

Is the Yamaha R-7 natural sound stereo receiver mm or MC?

Also noteworthy is that, on the phono input side, this receiver will accept both MM and MC. In terms of look, the black face/case and red LEDs have stood up well over time. It looks downright contemporary, not like something from the 1980s.

What makes a Yamaha elite class stereo receiver?

What are the remote controls on the Yamaha r-s700?

The R-S700 includes two remote controls, one for each zone. The zone 2 remote is much smaller and IR-only. This inclusion of a zone2 remote is very common with receivers these days. I guess A/V companies expect that everyone with multiple zones in their house will have IR repeaters as well.

What makes the Yamaha r-s700 stereo receiver so good?

Heat is the enemy of clean sound. The R-S700 features tandem heat sinks for more efficient cooling so your favorites sound like they were meant to. And the gold-plated speaker terminals and RCA jacks ensure high-quality, corrosion-free connections.

What do coupler jacks do on Yamaha r-s700?

The coupler jacks allow the user to either hook up an external processor and use the R-S700 for its amps only, or to hook up external amplification and use the R-S700 as a pre-amp/processor only. I did not explore either option but it sure is nice to have these options.
