Very good product, no suprises having read many reviews before purchase
I'm very pleased with this radio. I use it bedside as an alarm clock. There were a number of features that I wanted and this was one of the very few models with the desired features. I did extensive research before deciding to buy this product. I am not disappointed and I've had no surprises. I did not have any trouble with set-up as the instructions were clear. The reception is good. I've had similar radios with better AM reception and some with worse reception, so I'd consider the AM reception average, but adequate. The sound quality is good. The display brightness is more adjustable than any other similar product that I've owned and I like being able to turn the display off as my wife is very light-sensitive. I do find it difficult to use the buttons on the top in a dark room as I'm not looking down on them as the radio is at eye level. I create two bumps between two pairs of buttons using silicone caulk and this has helped a great deal. The Bluetooth works fine and the display content is very helpful. I'm quite pleased with this product.

Very good lens!
1 of 1 found this helpful I had a pretty good macro lens, the Tamron 90mm, but I think this lens is better. The Pentax is better made and I've been very satisfied with the pictures. It's actually smaller and lighter as well, which is a benefit when I travel or hike with the lens. The only advantage that the Tamron has is the focus-limiter. On the other hand the Pentax is water resistant while the Tamron is not. I'm very happy with the Pentax lens. The Tamron is now for sale.

Good product at a good price
I'm quite happy with this receiver. I also have the next higher model in the Yamaha line. I was impressed with the higher model so when I saw this one for a good price I jumped on it. I think the only difference is that this is a 5.1 model and the higher one is 7.2. I use the receiver for listening to the radio, listening to my iPod and listening to streaming music. I use Google Play music so I have to use a Chromecast device plugged into one of the receiver's HDMI ports. I'd like to find a receiver with Google built-in, but I could not find one so this will have to do. The video interface works fine and the receiver has all the settings I want, although some are a little hard to navigate to. At the current time manufacturer's like to keep the front of the unit pretty streamlined which means many settings require some effort to set. However, I think I can control more from the front of the unit than with many other products. I am a fan of Yamaha, primarily because of the quality / cost ratio.
