Extra Nice For The Price.
Crutchfield customer from Fresno, TX on 10/24/2021
Great product for the money. Makes me wonder what a $3000 Yamaha must sound like. Got the N303 hooked to 4 Klipsch RP160m's and I am truly in Nirvana. I am using my computer with a DAC to my amp and I think it is beautiful, simply beautiful.
Pros: Very good quality sound Easy to hook to Bluetooth
Cons: Hard as hell to hook up to wifi and Spotify. I just stopped trying and plugged it directly into the computer. Ridiculous.

Crutchfield customer from Arlington, TX on 10/20/2021
The Yamaha R-N303 replaced my 40 year old Technics SU-G70. It meets my needs: AM/FM tuner, phono inputs, inputs for CD and tape, headphone jack, and 100 watts power. I am very pleased with it, and you will be too!
Pros: Well priced item that has AM tuner and phono jacks that are not always available on higher priced items. Has Wi-Fi and other upgrades.
Cons: Would have liked an additional optical input, and an HDMI input, but these were not a show stopper for me

Great for Grads with Computer Science
Crutchfield customer from Sun City Center, FL on 10/18/2021
I have this unit for a week. Very difficult for me to program. Instruction book not much help. I am a senior citizen and my computer knowledge is limited. After one week I am able to play music from my iPhone . Thats it.! No other screening accomplish. Will be calling for technical assistance in a day or two.
Pros: looks good plays nicely from my iPhone

Crutchfield customer from Canton, OH on 9/29/2021
Just what this "Old Schooler" was looking for. It gave me the inputs that I needed with a clean modern look. All for good price.

Yamaha R-N303
Crutchfield customer from Freehold, NJ on 9/27/2021
I haven't purchased a tuner/amplifier in over 20 years. The learning curve is similar to a smart TV with the exception of pictures walking you through it. Controlling through a smart phone is a plus. Not being able to include additional sources in the app was a bit of disappointment. The way around is to use the phone Bluetooth, which becomes a burden when you get a call. All in all, very happy.
Pros: Versatile.
Cons: App could use updating.

Thanks Crutchfield!
Wayne from ALTAVISTA, VA on 9/16/2021
Thank you Crutchfield!!! I purchased the Yamaha R-N303 as a "scratch and dent" product. When it got here, I took a flashlight and went over it. I could not find a single blemish on the receiver. All the accessories were in the box. The only thing that was missing was the original box, and the Crutchfield box fit the receiver like a glove. I saved almost $100! As far as the receiver goes, I couldn't be happier. Great sound and great features. Can't wait until its burnt in. No complaints so far. Extremely happy.
Pros: Price point Features, e.g., Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Very readable display Sound
Cons: None

Yamaha RN-303
Crutchfield customer from Sikeston, MO on 9/12/2021
The receiver has all the bells and whistles and I would not hesitate to recommend it. I gave it 4 stars for now due to issues with my turntable at high volume. I Am getting feedback through my speakers and still have additional "troubleshooting" to do to solve the problem. I don't think it's the receiver and once this sound issue is resolved, I'd probably give it a 5 star rating. Great Company and Customer Service - ??????????
Pros: When hooked up through the Internet, one has full access to Spotify, Deezer, Etc platforms along with AM/FM tuner; CD, Phonograph and Aux inputs. Good Quality for all the "Bells and Whistles" you get for the price.
Cons: It limits the full range of Platforms available online.

New isn't always better.
Crutchfield customer from Honolulu, HI on 9/12/2021
I bought this to replace a similarly priced one (Yamaha RX-397) from 15 years ago, which I thought was broken. The R-N303 has lots of features I don't use, but is missing some I do: No balance control and no loudness function. Dials have been replaced with buttons. I had hoped to get a more expensive version from Yamaha to get these features, but due to the chip shortage, none have been available. I decided to send this one back since I was able to fix the problem with the old one and wait to get something I really want. Crutchfield's return policy is great and they were very helpful with returning the receiver with no hassles.
Pros: Lots of streaming options.
Cons: Missing basic controls for playing vinyl and CD's. Need to upgrade models to get these.

Challenging Wireless Connection
Crutchfield customer from Columbus, OH on 9/12/2021
I have been enjoying this receiver for a few weeks and use it to power two pairs of speakers on my porch and deck. Unfortunately, I was unable to connect it wirelessly to my Orbi Mesh Network. I have great WIFI coverage and plenty of speed. I was able to connect other devices within close proximity with no issues and typically have a dozen devices connected with zero issues from iPhones to laptops to Roku sticks. After many attempts, I finally gave up and ran a network cable. Once connected I really like the features and functionality of the Music Cast App. It is easy to play internet radio stations or streaming services like Amazon Prime Music.
Pros: Good value, Music Cast App
Cons: Unable to connect wirelessly to my Mesh WIFI Network

David from Columbia, SC on 9/8/2021
As an old school audio guy, I really like this receiver. Nice connections for my old school TT, reel-to-reel, Cassette and CD players. Nice to be able to maybe soon add some remote speakers also. Best part, the delivery from Crutchfield. It was raining today, and when UPS delivered, low and behold it was shrink wrapped in tough plastic wrap, protecting the box from rain and weather!!! Nice to find really good customer service.

Limitations with the streaming software
Joan from Hillsborough on 8/19/2021
This receiver was easy to set up and is easy to use, but Music Cast, the app that manages your music is limited. In this model it does not support Amazon Music or tune In. Yamaha determines what is available to you via their contracts with music providers. Music Cast is advertised as giving you unlimited music, but it is not true.
Pros: easy to use
Cons: Music Cast does not offer many of the most popular streaming options

Love it, but use the MusicCast app
Crutchfield customer from Norwalk, CT on 8/16/2021
This is really a solid piece of gear for the money, it sounds great. I'm not using MusicCast to run speakers in remote rooms, just my Living Room speakers and speaker setting B is my deck speakers. I have an optical cable from my LG tv to the receiver, then hardwired KEF Q150 speakers. With Ethernet hardwired as well, I'm loving the Net Radio. All those things are controlled remotely from my iPhone on MusicCast app. I don't need more than that and it works great for me.

I love this thing. BUT, I seem to have issues with the airplay function cutting out randomly. It's doesn't happen all the time and resetting the router may or may not have helped, but the interwebs makes it sound like this is not an uncommon issue with this model. A friend of mine has the same one and does t have this issue.

Good sound with networking capabilities.
Crutchfield customer from Stoneham, MA on 8/2/2021
I bought a Yamaha receiver in 1996 and it's still working flawlessly. Good sound quality and features. I wanted to have something with streaming options and don't need any home theater options. I decided go with this unit. It is very easy to set up and music cast is great. Sound quality for this price is great. If you're looking for a good stereo receiver with networking capabilities this a very good option without braking the bank. Also Crutchfield did a good job shipping it fast I received my package in 2 days and they're following up to see if I happy with my purchase. Overall a great experience .
Pros: Sound quality, power, easy to setup, streaming app.
Cons: No Amazon Music HD support. No big deal for me just keep in mind if you have the subscription.

Crutchfield customer from Kalamazoo, MI on 8/1/2021
I was lead to believe, by product description, and answered questions , that the applications for streaming music are on this receiver, THEY ARE NOT. To play SiriusXM, or pandora, You must leave your iPhone next to the stereo, or in the house. That doesn't work for the times when you are outside in the yard, and want to have your phone on your person . Other than that disappointment, it seems to be a great receiver.

Read fine print carefully
Crutchfield customer from Arlington, VA on 7/21/2021
(1) Awkward entry of WiFi pw, etc manually (2) No option to leave main speakers active while using headphones jack (granted this can be done other ways) (3) BT for reception only , not for transmission to wireless speakers (4) harsh sounding after trying all combinations of base and treble settings (5) No display capability for Pandora and other similar internet music providers (internet radio stations are selectable but again the methodology is awkward ) In order to view (eg., Pandora) selections must use either Musicast app..or simply pair Iphone to the unit..but who wants to have to use an Iphone ALL of the time on a home stereo system receiver?
Pros: Attractive simple appearance

Crutchfield customer from Papillion, NE on 5/29/2021
Not a fan of soundbars, I prefer to run my TV's PCM audio through an optical cable to a 2-channel receiver and bookshelf speakers. With a built-in DAC input, this unit is perfect for this old-school method. If your Blu Ray player has a digital coax output, the digital coax input is handy for playing CDs via direct audio connection, without having to turn on the TV to pass through the signal. Plenty of power and fairly uncomplicated setup. Though a non-issue in my case, the lack of a subwoofer output is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.

Great sound and great technology
Crutchfield customer from St Charles, IL on 3/21/2021
You get what you pay for, but in this case you get a lot of technology. Pairing blue tooth devices and services like Pandora are much easier to do than what is provided in the instructions. The instructions are obtuse. When I quit reading them, I got everything going in about ten minutes. The connections are very good with room for a number of things including Phono inputs. Wireless network connections worked very well after I got the receiver to fetch the settings from my phone.
Pros: Good sound. Good power. Excellent speaker connections. Connection to a number of music services. Input for Phono. Substantial network capabilities. Excellent wireless capabilities.
Cons: Instructions, although they try to be thorough, are often difficult to follow.

Tom from Lansdale, PA on 1/29/2021
I like this receiver. It is powering my old Klipsch RB 5 very well. I had a few issues at first with the Yamaha music cast app. I played with it on my Android tablet and iPhone. When I realized it didn't support Quboz I got rid of the music cast app. I played with Bluetooth pairing but sound quality was meh. I stream my CD library from ripped flac files via a ROON Rock server. ROON has very good integration with Quboz. I was able to get the Yamaha connected to ROON via airplay with minimal fuss. Sound quality is excellent and I couldn't be happier. My bedroom system is rocking now!!!!!

Alex from LOS ANGELES, CA on 1/5/2021
LOTS of power for my Cerwin-Vega AT-10s. The bluetooth functionality is my favorite feature and should be industry standard. When you connect with any device it will turn on the receiver out of standby mode for immediate listening. I also have a vinyl player hooked up to it and its super crisp. I took a bit of a chance on this because my Yamaha soundbar is lackluster but you can tell that this is a top-line product comparatively (you get what you pay for).

Presently wo an antenna setup, there is absolutely no radio reception. Once we set up the atenna, AM/FM, Sirius, etc features, I'll really be able to assess this receiver's worth. Rest of my review will be forthcoming.

This receiver is exactly what I wanted for a second system in my den. It has sufficient power to easily drive my relatively inefficient Sony SS M3 speakers.

Crutchfield customer from Hayes, VA on 12/16/2020
Really complicated set-up for internet use.
Pros: One of the few less expensive stereo receivers that has phono inputs.
Cons: Overly priced, difficult to set up completely. Fortunately for me my Crutchfield tech had an easy way, not listed in the manual, for me to connect this thing to the internet.

Sunnyvale
Erik from Sunnyvale on 12/8/2020
I replaced a 16 year old Harmon Kardon receiver which randomly dropped one channel with this Yamaha unit. I am an old rocker who only needs a phono, cd, and line input for my Sirius tuner. Also a good 100 watts to drive a set of vintge JBL Apollo speakers. Plenty of clean power..... I will never use all that other stuff!
Pros: just what I needed
Cons: none

Geat value. Great sound.
Crutchfield customer from Vancouver, WA on 11/26/2020
This is a great receiver for the money. Sound quality is typical of a Yamaha receiver - my primary reason for the purchase. But I do miss the loudness dial from a previous Yamaha receiver. I was surprised with the lack of a balance control on the front although the balance can still be adjusted from the setup menu. And the big volume dial feels kind of cheap. That said, the volume adjustment is very precise which is great when listening at low volumes for background music. I like the line in and line out feature for my cd recorder and the Bluetooth connection was a snap and sounds great.
Pros: Great Yamaha sound. Classic receiver features. Bluetooth.
Cons: No loudness dial. Volume knob not very 'solid'.

receiver fits needs
Crutchfield customer from Carbondale, CO on 11/17/2020
Very straightforward setup as far as connections go, all works as expected. Fine quality sound from marine speakers 4 ohm in series on each channel not to overload system. All speakers are in living room/dining area wall mounted in a large rectangle channels in an 'X'. Bluetooth is nice feature as I've listened to my library for decades and need an infusion of new classical and modern 'serious' music. It pops on as soon as my phone is set. Will take time to see if any of the other features such as Spotify, Sirius XM , will be desired. The volume is enough to blow my eardrums in my rather small house. It is a great upgrade from my 42 year old receiver which I blew with 4 ohm speakers which were configured incorrectly. Setting the 4 ohm in series with this amp the volume can be cranked higher without distortion than with prior unit. I don't do TV/video so didn't need a more complex unit. This is fine for music only. A subwoofer capability may have been nice.
Pros: ease of setup and use.
Cons: no subwoofer

Great Streaming Receiver
Crutchfield customer from Las Vegas, NV on 11/15/2020
This affordable stereo receiver streams pretty much everything you can imagine. I have used it daily, about 10 hours each, in my home office and the WiFi connection has been perfectly reliable. I normally alternate between a MacBook, Windows computer and an iPhone and all wirelessly connect with ease and quickly. With my usual streaming subscriptions, FM radio, internet radio, and Podcasts, I'm entertained all day. It's a Yamaha, so it sounds great powering my Polk Monitor 40s. It's well built and low frills, which means it will probably last a lifetime. If you want easy and reliable out of a 2.0 system that's paired with the free MusicCast app, it's hands down perfect. If you plan on using it without the MusicCast app while taking advantage of the built in streaming features, you may have a difficult and frustrating time navigating the menu with its small, two row screen with limited character count. It can also be rather slow searching for something new to stream continually going through pages, 1 song or podcast at a time (again, NOT an issue if you use the MusicCast app).
Pros: Sound, quality, WiFi connection, variety of compatible streaming services.
Cons: Limited screen without the app, no dedicated sub out.

Just what I needed for my wired outdoor speakers
Crutchfield customer from Augusta, GA on 11/15/2020
I needed a wifi/airplay/bluetooth receiver to power my 2 sets of outdoor wired speakers. The Yamaha Musiccast capability was a benefit as I also have that network elsewhere in the home. While my outdoor speakers are at 6 ohms and this receiver only supports 8 ohm speakers, I will need to be mindful to not over power them. This receiver meets all my needs at a good price.

Great unit. Been using a Yamaha PA mixer for years. I'm pushing a pair of Klipsch tower speakers and it sounds great for a TV or stereo with plenty of power. Easy setup, remote works perfectly. Had a bit of trouble getting Spotify but Crutchfield's tech folks set me right... I had minor Wyfi glitch. AOK now.
Pros: Great all-round amp
Cons: Would't mind having a mid -frequency control, but I'm picky.

A mixed bag
Crutchfield customer from Salt Lick, KY on 11/11/2020
Sounds great, with a lot of functionality. There is a learning curve to using wireless connectivity, and we've found it to be somewhat finicky. It's not clear whether the problems are with the receiver or our wi-fi, but it would be great if this aspect were more seamless. My rating would go up if we weren't still scratching our heads after a week.

MusicCast allows wireless speakers, and offers many audio inputs
Crutchfield customer from Clear Lake, IA on 11/11/2020
I purchased this unit for the MusicCast capability. I use it with MusicCast 20 wireless speakers. I am pleased with the performance. Connecting the R-N303 to my wireless network takes some effort, and I am not able to connect to the 5Ghz band. I sometimes have trouble with stuttering, and dropped audio with the MusicCast. I suspect these problems are likely the fault of my wireless router.
Pros: MusicCast supports wireless speakers. Besides line-in, and AM/FM tuner inputs; it offers Air Play, Bluetooth, SiriusXM, Pandora, etc. Good sound, and amplification.
Cons: Cannot connect to my 5Ghz wireless band. Sometimes MusicCast drops audio. These problems may be due to the age of my wireless router.

Yamaha R-N303
Crutchfield customer from Seaford, NY on 10/26/2020
The Yamaha R-N303 stereo receiver replaced an older Sony unit that did not stream internet radio stations. The unit performs all streaming functions well and is easy to switch to auxiliary devices including cd, phono, Bluetooth, and cd recording devices. Using Yamaha Music Cast controller, it plays music to Yamaha wireless speakers seamlessly. I had a little trouble syncing to internet, but using the Music Cast controller on my phone and assistance from Crutchfield rep. It was easily rectified.
Pros: Phono connection, cd recording capability, a and b speaker channels, and ability to play Yamaha wireless speakers are all great qualities for a lower cost unit
Cons: Initial sync to internet was a little tricky.

Yamaha R-N303
Crutchfield customer from Saint Louis, MO on 10/26/2020
My reason for buying this receiver is a little different. I have ripped all my music and store it in a NAS (Network Attached Storage). I ripped them to FLAC files and high bit rate (320) MP3 files. The MP3 files are for portable use and the FLAC files are for home use. I mostly listen to the FLAC file while I work on my computer using Foobar2000. I was looking for a way to play the FLAC files on my main music system which I found I wasn't using very much anymore. The R-N303 is the least expensive receiver in the Yamaha MusicCast system so I thought I would play with it and if I like it I will buy the Yamaha WXC-50 for my main system. I will not get into reviewing the R-N303 hardware since others have done that. Yes, there are shortcomings (No USB port or mid-range tone control) but I knew that and you get what you pay for. For me, MusicCast has been good but not great. I run it on both my phone and tablet, the bigger the screen the easier it is to search and scroll. At this time I am mostly creating Playlists and then letting it play them randomly. I have not had any connection issues but since the R-N303 is hard wired with CAT 6-e that is to be expected.
Pros: A solid receiver for the money
Cons: None that I didn't know when I bought it

Yamaha R-N303, Great Features and Value
Tom from EL PASO on 10/22/2020
After my 25 year old Yamaha receiver died and I began looking for a replacement. With 100 watts into 8oms per channel, AM/FM, support for 2 tape players, CD, turn table support, and Bluetooth, the R-N303 exceeded my expectations. Additionally the receiver supports ethernet, streaming services and works with Yamaha CD-600 player like a matching glove. Although I have not explored all options, I was tickled pink when I found my multi-function Yamaha remote control works both units. Over the years my Yamaha CP70 piano, PB-1 bass pre-amp, MM6 synth, have clearly shown Yamaha Corporation engineers and delivers real quality and value. It makes me wish I still had my Yamaha 650cc Sportster. I would highly recommend the R-N303.

Music Cast network issues.
Turner Tunes from Crawfordsville, IN on 10/10/2020
Sound quality is very good. Keep in mind it is only rated to 40hz. Keep that in mind when picking speakers. Lowering the review because music cast keeps loosing the network and it is a huge pain to get it back. That is is major feature of this product. The error codes and manual don't even match up. I'm in IT support, and understand networking. A general user is going to be completely lost. The network dropouts are horrible and difficult to get back.
Pros: Good sounds quality, doesn't clip. Holds good playback volume without issue.
Cons: Music cast network drop outs are ruining this stereo receiver. Randomly drops out for no reason. Telling me the network isn't the same, when it is. Very tricky to get back. General network instructions are horrible.

A great amp - love the network remote!
Crutchfield customer from Durham, NC on 10/3/2020
I purchased the R-N303 to replace an aging JVC system. While my primary motive was to upgrade remote control for volume and selection settings, I was quite pleased with the improvement in sound quality - particularly stereo separation and clarity of digital sources (we are big fans of Pandora and still use CDs). The internet radio is far superior to the add on device I had been using. All that said, set up was fairly straight forward as the unit read the settings from my Apple I-phone upon initial start up. My only complaint is that the connection to my router frequently requires re-boot. This is, fortunately, a fairly simple process. I understand that other MusicCast users routinely experience this with other Yamaha components. Anyhow, not a deal breaker for me and I really enjoy sitting outdoors and being able to switch sources and adjust other basic settings. Literally have re-discovered music that we have listened to for years!
Pros: Network Remote. Internet sources and sound quality.
Cons: Frequent disconnect from router.

I bought this to replace a couple of 30 to 40 year old units. This has lots of new features like Apple Air Play and Bluetooth connectivity - both of which I use more than I expected. I find it's a lot easier to use the remote to change modes, etc. rather than the front panel buttons. I like this a lot.

I was pleasantly surprised with my receiver when I received it. I was expecting some set up and wifi connection headaches based on other reviews. While it's true that the wifi setup didn't work right away, after I powered it down and tried again a little wile later, the setup went really well. I find the MusicCast app perfectly functional and relatively intuitive. I was pleased that after connection to wifi the music collection on my Synology NAS was immediately available and browsable in a number of different ways. I'm a big fan of all my steaming going straight to the receiver instead of to my phone or computer first. I really like the easy access to internet radio through the MusicCast app. The versatility of physical and wifi inputs is a real selling point for me. Depending on what I'm doing I might be streaming my own music collection, playing internet radio, playing audio through airplay, bluetooth, playing a record, cd... No matter what my needs are the receiver can accommodate with a good connection and good sound. Overall, extremely satisfied. I wish there were more compatibility to pairing additional speakers on the MusicCast platform, but the MusicCast speakers look decent enough that I'll probably add one in my kitchen at some point.

Value, value, value.
Crutchfield customer from Arlington, MA on 9/16/2020
This is a feature packed budget receiver with few weak links. No balance control is one, but what you do get for the price is very impressive. One of the few "zone amplifiers" with app control of speaker A/B switching, at half the price or less than brands B or S. Its more expensive version R-N602 adds all the missing controls and ups the amp, but at twice the price, may not be worth it to most budget buyers.
Pros: Adequate power for most users, tons of functionality for the price.
Cons: Lacks a balance control and Yamaha's signature variable loudness.

Clean edges and looks and enough moving parts to control sound, even through incredibly detailed remote, so that sound can be controlled quickly for different types of music without a lot of fuss. Have not tried wireless and really don't have use for the streaming services....have enough truly old school vinyl, some excellent blues from the 40s and lots of CDs to keep me entertained for eons.

Crutchfield customer from Aurora, CO on 9/6/2020
Easy to hook up and sounds great. Phono pre-amp sounds great. Played an old Albert King blues vinyl right out of the box and I was really impressed with the sound quality. Running a set of Elac speakers this amp sounds GOOD! Improvement over my old Kenwood from the 80's. Bluetooth works too with phones, super easy. Did not try plugging in our network as the TV uses the network cable. I'm simply running the sound out via coaxial box into rca jacks into the back of the amp. Works great!
Pros: Great price, good sound, phono jacks with pre- amp.
Cons: Was out of stock for a few weeks, no complaints otherwise.

The remote is simple and easy to understand. The manual had about the same amount of pages as my former Yamaha. The difference is the information on the former system was all in English. This system the information was in English, French and Spanish. Did not see Esperanto. Very streamlined. Bottom line is they focused on HFE. Ili faris tre bonan laboron.

Ron from Marietta, GA on 6/28/2020
I bought this to replace an old receiver that was powering a pair of in-ground outdoor speakers. I bought this unit based solely on the fact that it had AirPlay and it connected to my house Wi-Fi. It was a breeze to setup and my outdoor speakers sound fantastic with it. Recommend for anyone that wants a connected received to power a basic speaker setup.

Great receiver amp nice price
Crutchfield customer from Wixom, MI on 6/27/2020
My 35 year old Kenwood amp finally died and I needed something new. There were a lot of good reviews for the R-N 202, but I couldn't hook up my phonograph. Plus the 303 had Bluetooth, and computer radio as well as Am Fm. Plenty of power to run my Ohm C2's. And at a reasonable price. It arrived 2 days after I ordered it. Perfect.
Pros: Plenty of inputs Lots of power Comes with a remote Bluetooth
Cons: None

Disappointed
Crutchfield customer from Gainesville, FL on 6/27/2020
Disappointed...just hooked this up today. My 32 year old pioneer sx2300 @ 65 watts per channel literally blows the doors off this receiver, smh. The service was awesome but I waited a long time before making the change to a streaming capable device and this is not what I was looking for. Still trying to connect to wireless.. I need to find something else.
Pros:
Cons: Sounds like a transistor radio..

Another excellent Yamaha reciever
Crutchfield customer from Fort Collins, CO on 6/25/2020
Another excellent reciever from Yamaha. I use the reciever mainly for streaming audio or net radio. The system was very easy to set up, connect to two sets of speakers (using the A/B selections). The Yamaha MusicCast app for the iPhone makes it easy to control the reciever.

Great WiFi Receiver For The Price
Crutchfield customer from Matthews, NC on 6/25/2020
Overall, this is a nice receiver. I'm using it to power speakers for an outdoor pool deck. Initial wifi setup didn't go as smoothly as expected. It's fairly time consuming to attempt with the display. Using the MusicCast app should have been easy but proved finicky. However, once setup, the app and receiver work great together even across multiple smartphones. I initially tested the receiver with Polk bookshelf speakers and the sound was very nice. Works well with the outdoor speakers as well. Very happy with the receiver overall as it adds great sound and usability to our outdoor experience.
Pros: Flexible source options. Good range on the wifi compared to bluetooth
Cons: Wifi setup was a little challenging through the unit display. MusicCast app initially wouldn't connect.

GREAT SOUND, BUT POOR FUNCTIONALITY FOR OLDER PEOPLE
Crutchfield customer from Petaluma, CA on 6/25/2020
Getting my audio equipment hooked up was a breeze and I had it playing my old CDs and vinyl LPs in no time at all, and sounding terrific. But when it came to getting it connected to my network, nothing but frustration and failure. I followed the instructions in the manual step by step, and they were well-written, but the unit didn't always do what the instructions said they would do, nor did my iPhone, modem and router. I'm a geezer, (age 70) but not unfamiliar with high tech stuff and have been able to manage most hookups like this. I attempted all the various ways to get the thing connected to the net, and not one of them worked. I was looking forward to being able to send music from my desktop and iPhone to hear them on this great new sound system, but I'm going to have to settle for just using the hard discs I have. Final complaint - the lettering on the face plate is so tiny, I can barely see it even when I'm right in front of it. Why??? They could have made it twice as big, there's plenty of room.
Pros: Easy to hook up audio components. Great sound. Sleek-looking design. Well-written owner's manual.
Cons: Complicated network hookup. Tiny, hard-to-read lettering on face plate.

In my new home I already had outdoor speakers. I needed the receiver to play music outside. I went with the R-N303 because of the ability to get Pandora or SiriusXM. I haven't got around to signing up for one of the services, but I'm sure it will be great. I'm just happy that I could insert four wires and get FM radio!

But I am pleased with the performance thus far. The Net Radio feature is a nice bonus. Good entry level receiver.

Crutchfield customer from Bolingbrook, IL on 6/10/2020
I purchased this receiver for a small bedroom and connected it to a pair of Sony tower speakers. I've had it now for almost 2 months and I am Very Happy with my receiver. It was EZ to connect and the set up wasn't that bad. I can stream from my favorite service and can listen to my music stored on my iPod classic. The sound is Yamaha has provided many hours of good sounding music. It has really helped me to get through the PANDEMIC. A SHOUT OUT to the Team at Crutchfield who gave me some help on connecting to the YAMAHA APP. Overall my YAMAHA is Fantastic and a Good value. I will continue to purchase from Crutchfield because they offer so much info on All their products. The videos are especially helpful before and after a purchase. HANG IN THERE EVERYONE.
Pros: Sound Quality EZ hook set up Very Good DAC A GREAT value
Cons: I wish it had a dedicated Subwoofer out. App

Clean Quiet Power; Lots of Functionality
Greg from Germantown, TN on 5/28/2020
I could not be more delighted with my Yamaha R-N303 AV receiver from Crutchfield. I received expert help from Zach in first identifying my home entertainment needs and then matching just the right unit to those needs. The unit offers AirPlay for streaming from my home PC. I have Net Radio as well, which I'm driving from my smartphone with the MusicCast app. I have an optical audio input which consolidates everything moving through my flat screen. Beyond all this, I have all this Yamaha clean quiet power at a much better price point than what I expected going in. The 303 is driving my Cambridge Aeromax bookshelf loudspeakers, which earlier came recommended from Crutchfield (you guys are two for two). The sound is excellent. I've been a Crutchfield customer since the 70s; It's great to see you still around, still adding tremendous value and providing the best customer experience you can find.

Crutchfield customer from Mechanicsburg, PA on 5/28/2020
After researching several options to replace an existing two channel receiver/amp I settled on the Yamaha because of the combination of price and features. The unit was a nice drop in replacement for my old receiver/amp with the addition of bluetooth/wifi connectivity and remote control via the Musicast app. The initial install and setup was easy, and the receiver/amp has worked flawlessly so far. The app can be a bit flaky at times but it does work and allows control from anywhere in the house.
Pros: Good price/features Easy setup Wifi connectivity Remote control via app
Cons: App can be a bit flaky at times Speaker connection posts are ok but could use some improvement to make wiring even easier.

Could not be more pleased
Crutchfield customer from Charlotte, NC on 5/13/2020
I had a very specific situation. 1. I hoped for the ability for us to easily switch between using the TV's on-board sound and a small pair of bookshelf speakers for the receiver to drive. Given this, I specifically chose the Yamaha so it would actually not control the Sony TV's volume out of the box. It worked perfectly with the optical coming from the TV and digital coax from the Blu-ray. No menu settings required - we simply turn up the volume on the TV with the receiver off, or mute the TV and control the volume on the Yamaha. Even easier than I'd hoped. 2. Wanted a stereo receiver that could control the headphone volume with the remote, since I sit across the room to listen. Unlike some stereo receivers, the headphone volume is controlled by the master volume and also works perfectly. 3. Wanted tone controls so we can minimize bass for the neighbors' sake while using speakers, but adjust for headphone listening. Many moons ago, I was a musician as well as sold musical instruments. I know that Yamaha makes THE best/close to the best musical instruments in several instrument categories (their logo is a set of tuning forks for a reason). However, this is my first time using their electronics. I'm super impressed with the quality, feature set, and fit for my unique needs. Extremely highly recommended.
Pros: Build quality and feature set. This was the perfect choice for my needs, regardless of price.
Cons:

Great solid solution at affordable price.
Crutchfield customer from Pleasant Hill, CA on 5/7/2020
Used to power Polk audio Atrium 6 for my outdoor area. Needed something with WiFi streaming. It was between this and Sonos amp. Sonos seemed extremely overpriced. I had heard that music cast didn't work well and it was easy to set up. None of this turned out to be true. I set up the WiFi and app in a few minutes and added my Spotify and Sirius accounts without issue. 3 weeks in now and haven't had so much as a single lost connection. Pairs great with the atriums. Going to add a second one to power my indoor ceilings and add a few of the music cast wireless speakers as well.

Replaced a former Yamaha 50 watt unit with this. My speakers never had a high end and before buying new speakers I purchased this 100 watt unit.

Pros: Ease of operation and connection.
Cons: None at this time.

Value for the price, Wireless is a pain
Crutchfield customer from Worcester, MA on 4/30/2020
To start, the 3 stars are for the time consuming and spotty wireless connection set-up, which many others have noted. I almost started to run cable to the unit it was such a pain to set-up. However, once I used the "Sharing the iOS device setting" (pg 15 of the UM) it connected after the second try. Once the internet was connected to the unit, MusicCast loaded with no problem and works great. I would highly recommend using the MusicCast app instead of the remote. Otherwise the unit is a good value for the price I paid. On another note despite having a higher (published) power output (100X100) the R-N303 does not generate the same SPL (yes I measured it) as the RX-V530 (75X75) that this stereo replaced. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and would buy it again.
Pros: Compact, lots of connections
Cons: Output not as robust as you would expect for 100X100

Crutchfield customer from Edmonds, WA on 4/29/2020
AM/FM reception is not very good where I live. I am now able to stream my favorite local and internet stations through my iPad via Bluetooth. It has a built in amp for a turntable so that will be my next purchase from Crutchfield (?????????? ). I'm not an audiophile but I appreciate good sound and the R-N303 sounds great on my 45 year old JBL Decade L26 speakers. This is a terrific unit for my needs at a nice price.
Pros: See review
Cons: No bass boost but that's a minor nit. The remote could be designed better - too long and narrow. If it was wider and shorter it would be easier to control without having shift it.

Best of Bunch for Money
Crutchfield customer from Saint Louis, MO on 4/25/2020
Works well with Polk bookshelf speakers - BUT speaker connection posts poorly designed to make a bare wire connection. Picks up FM stations - AFTER you TRASH the worthless hunk of wire provided, and put an old longer indoor antenna on. (I have no use for AM.) Picks up Internet Radio stations from wired connection - Potluck on finding anything? Presets are invaluable! Visual Display on reciever is legible from three feet away; info is pretty useful if you follow the paper instructions. I bought this reciever because of the additional new features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Optical sound input. I am happy to have them despite the Internet upgrade that has disabled everything in my house not wired; I think that the machine deserves a higher rating.
Pros: WIDE variety of features. Fits into old systems and has connections for new technology. Visual display is LEGIBLE. Good choice when you Do Not want video connections. Plenty of power for bookshelf speakers, smaller rooms.
Cons: Poor design for bare wire speaker connections. Part of problem is normal jam-it-all-together! FM antenna a Joke. Search for Internet Stations a puzzle - would probably be fine if you used a Service.

Solid receiver. I use it to power two Klipsch R-820F floor standing speakers. I have a 5 disc CD changer and turntable hooked to it as well. Works well for my needs. The Bluetooth feature is nice so you can use your phone and play Apple Music or whatever streaming service you have to listen to music. My only complaint is it doesn't have a dedicated subwoofer output which you could just got up to a nicer model and solve that. But overall I'm pleased with this receiver.

Home is wired multi room, so speakers were already in place. This makes controlling audio in two locations a breeze and very convenient. I have it wired directly into my router and sitting next to an rs-v477 that controls the surround for tv etc. Both are controlled by a harmony 650. Think sound quality is great and the MusicCast app seems quite robust. Took a bit of playing to get it all up and running at first but really, really impressed...
