Yamaha - RX-396RDS Solid state stereo receiver

Offered: a neat and good-sounding Yamaha RX-296 stereo receiver.

This amplifier is visually in nice condition with minor, normal signs of use. Technically the unit has been tested and functions as expected: all inputs, outputs and audio playback work as expected and deliver the characteristic clear and balanced Yamaha sound.

Note: the power button sometimes responds a bit sluggishly. This is a well-known small mechanical flaw in older equipment and easy to fix for the handy enthusiast.
