Question 1

does this unit have built in Wi-Fi or will it need to be connected with a Ethernet wire ?

Accepted Answer

I connected mine via RJ45 connector CAT5 cable. I don't think it has WiFi.

Question 2

What kind of warranty coverage do you have?

Accepted Answer

Hello fellow shopper,

I have the 2 year warranty that comes by default. There are some credit cards which, if used to pay in full, add an extra year to the warranty, free of charge, for goods with warranties less than 5 years.
I hope that my answer addresses your concerns.

Good luck with your shopping!

Question 3

Considering buying the Yamaha RX-V475. Understand it needs a external WiFi Adapter. The Yamaha YWA-10 has poor reviews on your site. Is their another WiFi Adapter that you would recommend for the 475?

Accepted Answer

We use a Sony DVD player as the Wi-Fi interface. Works great. With the Sony DVD player we get Pandora, Netflix, U tube and many other streaming providers.

Question 4

Hi, I have an older Cambridge Soundworks home theatre system (about 20 years old).  All the speakers, including the sub-woofer connect via 16 gauge speaker wire that attaches to a Sony home theatre receiver (it came with the system) via clamps (one red the other black for each speaker) on the rear of the receiver and the sub-woofer, and not RCA jacks or other similar plug in connections.   Is there any way I can connect my speakers to this receiver?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It takes regular old speaker wire. Even if a speaker uses RCA jacks, you can just clip the jack off and strip the two wires. The sub is an RCA jack, so you would have to buy a plug and wire accordingly.
For the regular speakers, I bought banana clip plugs. They are cheap and make it easier to plug and unplug speakers. Without them, you put the wire through a hole and screw the connector  cap down. 
This amp has given me ZERO problems.

Question 5

Need to know if this model has switchable voltage (110v-220/240V)?

Accepted Answer

According to the manual, it is switchable from 110-120 to 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz.

Question 6

As I recall, last week this unit also included YBA-11 Bluetooth® Wireless Adapter free of charge.  Is this not the case today?

Accepted Answer

I bought this receiver in September 2013 and it did not include the Bluetooth adapter.

Question 7

Will this work well with Polk IC60 in ceiling speakers?

Accepted Answer

This is a very powerful unit, and I believe will work with most any speakers. If you are going 8ohm there are 5 channels including the sub-woofer. I have this hooked to two 4ohm Speaker Lab Super Sevens, and it is a brute. I did add an exterior box fan from Radio Shack for cooling, when I really get cranking, due to the extra heat from running 4ohm speakers. Hope this helps.. Randy
