  • The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth-compatible devices is a radio band shared by many types of equipment. While Bluetooth-compatible devices use a technology minimizing the influence of other components using the same radio band, such influence may reduce the speed or distance of communications and in some cases interrupt communications.
  • The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communication is possible differs according to the distance between the communicating devices, the presence of obstacles, radio wave conditions, and the type of equipment.
  • Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices compatible with Bluetooth function.

FAQS

So can this fit a total of 4 100watt speakers at once OR 4 25watt speakers at most?

This amp can safely power only 2, 8-ohm speakers at once. if you tried to connect 4, 8-ohm speakers at once you would be driving a 4-ohm load and this amp doesn’t deal with 4-ohm loads very well. It’s an 8ohm amp.

What is the Bluetooth range?

There are 3 classes of BT devices. The ranges are under 10m (Class3); 10m (Class2) and 100m (Class3). The range you get between two devices will be the range of the least powerful device. If that’s a cell phone streaming music, expect less than ten meters. If it is a computer with a Class2 BT radio, expect a solid ten meters. But the only way you will get more than ten meters (30 feet) reliably, is if both devices are Class 3. And portable devices rarely are. 

Even though there is no subwoofer output, can one be connected anyway?

YES:
You can use a speaker-to-line level adapter. Connect to the B speakers and use the RCA plugs on the adapter to connect to the subwoofer.

frequency response is listed as 40hz being the lowest, if a sub was added to this would nothing below 40hz be produced?

Long answer: the frequency response of an audio product is drawn on an x-y coordinate plot with the “y” range as the sound pressure (or volume) and the “x” range as the frequency ( from 0 to some maximum Hertz…20,000 or more). Graphs on this plot often look like an upside-down cereal bowl. The two “corners” of the bowl, where the bottom meets the sides, are where the sound pressure (volume) of that frequency begin to drop off dramatically. The graph never has two “square” corners. Those two corners are always rounded. And the sides are never straight up and down…they always slope.
The frequency range is the flat part of that upside-down bowl. The maximum and minimum points are taken from each of the two sides of the bowl where the sound pressure (volume) value is a pre-determined percentage of the average sound pressure ( along the “flat” part of the bowl).
So…to answer the question, the frequencies below that 40Hz value probably exist in the signal…but the volume may be so low that for you to provide enough amplification to hear (or feel, in the case of 40Hz and below) may be cost prohibitive and may introduce enough noise in the replay that you might find it objectionable.
The minimum and maximum frequency response values are important to the shopper because they help you select the speakers. Why spend more for a set of speakers that have a range of 20-20k, when the usable frequency of the receiver is 40-20k? 

Does this receiver transmit to a Bluetooth-enabled speaker? Or would I have to use one of the speaker slots and connect to a Bluetooth transmitter?

No, it does not transmit to speakers. You would have to connect to the speaker outputs and a Bluetooth transmitter.
It does receive a signal from your phone or device as input and it works quite well.

How do i connect to my tv?

connect the audio out from the TV to one of the “line in” inputs on the receiver.

220v alimentation?

As an authorized USA dealer the manufacturer provides us access only to 120V products. This is a fantastic-sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 37 years old and a very proud Yamaha dealer.

can this work on 220?

Only if you have a converter to bring the voltage down to 110

Should as most metal buildings don’t reject FM signals?

it should as most metal buildings don’t reject FM signals

Will this drive my vintage B and W speakers?

not plugd in

How many watts into 4ohms?

Curious why the question. If an amplifier is rated for 100 watts into 8 ohms, then it will probably deliver 200 watts into 4 ohms. The specs say it delivers 125W @8 ohms. They also say the High Dynamic Power for 8/6/4/2 ohms is 125/150/165/180w. Hope that helps.

what is the pairing process?

As others have answered: you have to ensure that Bluetooth sharing is turned “on” on both devices / remote; the device should then request confirmation of pairing…

Is the Bluetooth built-in or does it have a plug-in adapter?

Built-in. Just follow the instructions in the manual to set up or pair.

How is it connected to the cable box?

It is not connected to the cable box.

This product is for 220 v?

The “American” model is 120 v only, All the other models are 220. Mine is 120 v only

Can an Equalizer be hooked to this receiver?

yes, you can hook equalizer.

How many speakers can you connect?

There are two separate paired inputs for sets of speakers. So you end up with an A set and a B set. Both can play simultaneously. They are pinch wire connections so you are limited on the number by how many wires sets you could effectively enter into the small clamp aperture.

How do you connect an antenna to this unit?

This unit comes with an FM antenna that snaps onto the back and hangs the other end to the wall behind it.
