I purchased this unit used at a local computer recycler to use as amp for my computer. I have it paired with some JBL LX-22 speakers from the early 90s that I purchased in college. After 6 months of ownership I am really happy with this unit. I appreciate the clean, clear sound at both low and high volumes, especially when streaming music. Basic features are easily accessed from the controls on the unit and I use the remote to adjust volume and turn on and off power. The simple white display is easy to read but on the small side but that is not a concern for me as I use only one input.

Short and sweet. I bought this receiver for YAMAHA quality, the CD DIRECT circuitry, and a 75ohm screw-in FM antenna connector instead of having to use a PAL to 75ohm adapter which I had to with another YAMAHA receiver. The 75ohm connector allows me to receive FM from my cable company instead of needing a separate FM antenna. I had to sell this receiver because even with the cable connection it would not provide reception. Plus this receiver is way bigger than it need be and the display is on the smallish side. I replaced it with an old, faithful Technics receiver with a nice, big colorful display, it receives FM right off the bat, and it's way smaller, yet it puts out 110 watts per channel, double that of the YAMAHA. I wish the Technics had CD DIRECT.
This is a nice 2 channel receiver and if all you need is a basic stereo setup then you won't be disappointed in the Yamaha R-S300. Not only does it look good but sounds good as well. With Yamaha's Pure Direct setting you can bi-pass all internal filters and listen to source music in it's purest form. With 50 watts/channel it has plenty of power to crank out more than enough volume. I have my receiver hooked up to a pair of Polk Monitor 60 series II tower speakers and a sub woofer... and it sounds amazing.
Very good middle of the road product.
