Hands-on time with the 'RN03

"Normally, I wouldn't expect much from a stereo receiver at this price. But I've come to expect more from Yamaha, and this amp delivered. It had plenty of power for my relatively inefficient bookshelf speakers. And the wireless features like Bluetooth and Yamaha's MusicCast platform open up lots of streaming listening possibilities."

-David Brown, Crutchfield editor

Audio Section

High Power Stereo Amplifier: Engineered for sonic power, Yamaha's R-N303 is equipped with a high-quality, high-power amp, featuring a single push-pull and discrete configuration that delivers a maximum output of 100 watts x 2 channels (8 ohms, 40Hz-20 kHz, 0.2% THD). Its low-impedance design minimizes the lengths of the audio signal paths, while placing the power supply unit near the amp unit eliminates energy loss and achieves superior drivability for optimum sound reproduction with all kinds of speakers, providing exceptionally dynamic, exciting sound.

Analog Inputs & Output: The Yamaha network receiver features four stereo analog RCA inputs (including a Phono input). There is also a stereo analog RCA output.

Phono Input: The Yamaha R-N303 stereo receiver features a dedicated Phono (MM) input for connecting your turntable and listening to your vinyl records.

Optical & Coaxial Digital Inputs: The R-N303 is equipped for digital audio input, with both optical (toslink) and coaxial (RCA) terminals. Both digital inputs support 2ch PCM (32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz).

Note: The digital inputs are not compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS, or other multichannel audio formats.

A/B Speaker Terminals: The R-N303 is fitted with A & B speaker terminals so you can power up to two pair of speakers. The speaker selector switch on the front-panel of the receiver makes it easy to switch between speaker outputs, allowing you to hear the sound from one speaker pair (A or B) or from both speaker pairs (A+B). In addition, compatible speakers can be bi-wired using the A & B speaker terminals simultaneously (they are wired in parallel). The eight binding-post speaker terminals that will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), pin-connectors, and banana plugs (single or dual). Only connect 8 ohm speakers (4 ohm speakers are not supported).

Headphone Jack: The Yamaha R-N303 is equipped with a front-panel 1/4" headphone jack for connecting a set of headphones, so you can listen to your music privately. Connecting a set of headphones automatically mutes the receiver's speaker outputs.

Tone Control: You can adjust the balance of the high-frequency range (Treble) and low-frequency range (Bass) of sounds output from the receiver' front left and right speakers to obtain a desired tone. You can independently adjust the bass (50Hz) and treble (20kHz) from -10dB to +10dB in 0.5 dB increments. You can also balance your connected speakers left to right.

Volume Setup: You can set the stereo receiver's maximum volume from 1-99 (1 step increments) to prevent excessive loudness. You can also set the receiver's initial volume to 1-99 (1 step increments), Off, Mute, or Max when the unit is turned on.

  • Max Volume Adjustment: Use this feature to set the receiver's maximum volume level. This feature is useful to avoid turning the volume too loud by mistake. You can set the Max Volume from -30 dB to +15 dB in 5 dB steps, or to +16.5 dB (full volume range is -80 dB to +16.5 dB).
  • Initial Volume Setting: Use this feature to set the volume level when the power is turned on. You can choose between Off (same as the volume when the unit was turned off), Mute, and -80 dB to + 16.5 dB in increments of 0.5 dB.

  • Source Selection: From the app you can select which source or sources you want to listen to; choose from network-connected devices, select online music services, Internet Radio, Bluetooth; as well as analog & digital inputs.
  • Music Browsing: You can browse music libraries from your network-connected devices; like your smartphone, tablet, computer, or laptop.

Bluetooth & Remote Control

Built-in Bluetooth: The Yamaha R-N303 is equipped with built-in Bluetooth (version 2.1+EDR) for wireless communication between Bluetooth-enabled audio source devices, headphones, and speakers. The AV receiver can act as a Bluetooth receiver in order to wirelessly stream music from an audio device, or a Bluetooth transmitter in order to wirelessly stream music to a set of BT-enabled headphones/speakers.

  • Bluetooth Receiver: The R-N303 incorporates Bluetooth A2DP & AVRCP, so you can wirelessly stream stored music & music apps from a Bluetooth-enabled device; like your Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Windows Phone/PC, or Mac computer/laptop to the AV receiver. In addition to support for the standard SBC Bluetooth audio codec, the receiver offers support of AAC. By supporting AAC, the receiver offers better audio performance of music streamed from your Apple iPod/Phone/iPad. Song/artist information will be displayed on the front-panel of the receiver. You'll you be able to control basic playback functions, like Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track from the receiver's remote; advance music browsing still has to be done from your Bluetooth source device.
  • Bluetooth Transmitter: The Yamaha stereo receiver can also act as a Bluetooth transmitter and stream its non-Bluetooth audio sources (Network, Analog, Optical/Coax Digital, & AM/FM tuner) out to most any Bluetooth headphone or speaker. You can only pair and stream audio to one Bluetooth headphone or speaker at a time. You can even have the same source playing from the main speakers and a Bluetooth speaker/headphone simultaneously (there is a slight audio delay). Volume control of the Bluetooth speaker/headphone will be controlled via the Bluetooth device and not the receiver. *To use this feature, the receiver must be connected to your home network and you will need to use MusicCast Controller app on your Apple iOS or Android device to configure the receiver as a Bluetooth transmitter.
Note: Sound cannot be transmitted to Bluetooth devices that do not support SCMS-T standard..

Alexa Compatible (Firmware Update Required): Alexa-enabled devices (including the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Tap and Echo Show) will soon be able to control key functions of a MusicCast system using voice commands. An available firmware update will be available for download that allows key functions of MusicCast products to be controlled using your voice through Alexa-enabled devices (sold separately).

  • Alexa Skill: The MusicCast skill for Alexa will allow you to power MusicCast products on and off, control basic playback functions, make selections from a playlist of favorite music, adjust the volume, and use the Link function for playback of multiple MusicCast products simultaneously.
  • Echo Source Input: In addition or alternatively, an Echo device can be used as a music/audio source for a MusicCast system. All MusicCast devices offer a Bluetooth input. Just pair your Echo, Echo Dot or Echo Show with any MusicCast wireless speaker, sound bar or stereo receiver and the sound will play from the MusicCast device. Using the MusicCast app, you can then select the Bluetooth input and link multiple MusicCast devices for playback, allowing you to hear it throughout your home. Many MusicCast products also offer inputs which can be connected to Echo Dot via its line output, if a wired connection is preferred over Bluetooth. This requires using an optional analog audio cable (sold separately). Using the MusicCast app, you can select the wired input and link multiple MusicCast devices for playback, allowing you to hear sound from Echo Dot throughout your home.
Note: You will need an Alexa-enabled device (Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Tap, or Echo Show - all sold separately) to operate certain functions of your MusicCast products via voice-command. The MusicCast components and the Alexa-enabled devices must be on the same network.

IR Remote: The Yamaha R-N303 comes with an IR remote control for wireless operation of the network stereo receiver

Convenience Features

Front-Panel Display: The R-N303 network receiver features a front-panel display to indicate audio settings, source input, station identification, and song/artist information. You can adjust the brightness of the front-panel display. This unit does not offer an on-screen display.

Gapless Playback: Many live and classical albums have no gaps in the music. Gapless playback ensures that there are no pauses between audio files. This provides playback with no interruptions, the way it was meant to be heard. Compatible with WAV, FLAC, AIFF, and ALAC music files via DLNA.

ECO Mode: When the ECO Mode is enabled, you can reduce the receiver' power consumption by keeping the maximum volume, maximum output power, and front display's brightness low. ECO mode reduces power consumption by approximately 20%.

Q
I just purchased the Yamaha MusicCast VINYL 500 turntable and 4 Yamaha MusicCast Speakers. Turntable sounds great. Now Iâ??d like to be able to stream CDâ??s through MusicCast speakers and Iâ??m wondering if I need this receiver and a Yamaha CD player to complete the circle?

Greetings John. Thank you for your question. This RN 303 Music Cast receiver will be able to send wireless audio from any input to Music Cast speakers. The CD player would not have to be Yamaha because the receiver is the sender, so whatever you have connected to the RN 303 can be sent to your speakers.

Q
Can I connect my TV's audio output to this receiver (Yamaha R-N303)?
john  Dec 14, 2023
1 answer
A
Greetings John. Thank you for your question. This receiver has multiple RCA inputs, and an optical input. So if your TV has an optical out, that would be best, but if it does not, but has either RCA or a 3.5mm audio out, it can still be connected to this receiver.
hogan  Dec 14, 2023 (Staff)
Q
Does the Yamaha R-N303 stereo receiver have a built-in Sirius receiver?
john  Dec 14, 2023
1 answer
A
Greetings John. Thank you for your question. Kind of sort of. Not an actual tuner that would need to have an antenna near a window, but it would use your home Internet service and your wired, or wireless network to gain the access to the Internet. Basically, streaming satellite radio.
hogan  Dec 14, 2023 (Staff)
Q
Does this reciever have a loudness button like vintage recievers did from back in the day that enriched the sound and made everything sound fuller?
redlightening  Dec 14, 2023
1 answer
A
The R-N303 does not have a loudness adjustment. It would be necessary to upgrade to the R-N600A for a loudness control. Here's a link to that model: www.crutchfield.com/p_022RN6HABL/item.html

Q
Recently bought a house with speakers located in almost all of the rooms. Sound is currently powered by an outdated Harmon/Kardon model HK 3470. Need to upgrade the piece to something more modern with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Also, the piece continues to shut down on its own frequently. Would this be an adequate upgrade?

Please reach out to our advisors via online chat or phone at 1-800-324-9695 for help with this project. They can access the speaker system and determine if a stereo receiver will be sufficient for the job. It is possibly that the reason the current receiver is shutting down is related to the high number of speakers connected. It may be necessary to work with our A/V Design team to figure out a more robust and reliable solution.

Q
Can a hard drive be connected to this receiver?
harold  Sep 27, 2023
1 answer
A
You cannot connect a hard drive directly to the Yamaha R-N303, Harold. The Yamaha does have Wi-fi and is DNLA certified meaning it can connect to your network and access certain files stored on your computer or network. The stereo receiver supports the following DLNA music servers - (1) PC with Windows Media Player 11 or later installed, (2) PC with DLNA/UPnP Certificate server software installed, (3) NAS with DLNA/UPnP certification. A great way to add USB source features to the R-N303 would be to pair it with the Yamaha CD-S303 in the link below. The CD-S303 has a front-panel USB port where you can connect a thumb drive or hard disk drive. The USB MSC device must be formatted in FAT16 or FAT32, and some HDDs will require an external AC power supply. I hope this helps! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_022CDS303/Yamaha-CD-S303.html

I use Sirius XM also with my Yamaha and Music Cast speakers. I see the same issue where issue where Sirius XM starts, plays for a while then stops. Yesterday the problem started/stopped and the speaker needed a firmware update. After the update, I had to restart the music cast speaker, and Sirius XM restarted ok. Sometimes I have keep hitting play in the app. and it will restart, or give me a message about a pending Sirius status, please wait... something of that order... If I get tired of getting it to work I switch to Pandora, or other. My other issue is that it will not play Sirius XM on more then one Music Cast speaker at once.

What am I missing? Why can't I connect to my home WiFi?
joey  Nov 03, 2020
3 answers
A
I am no expert here and am speaking only to my experience with using the Pandora streaming service through the Yamaha Music Cast app on my apple devices. The app works perfectly over my home wi-fi network and controls the receiver volume flawlessly. It took a few tries and time to get each device 'paired' with the receiver but once accomplished we never looked back. Follow the directions to a tee. Been in operation since late May and going strong. Note: i decided to hardwire the receiver to an access point in my network with ethernet cable. If you cannot get the receiver to work strictly on wi-fi, i suggest temporarily moving the receiver close to an access point on your network to see if you can at least make the receiver work to stream music. If that doesn't work maybe you have a defective receiver. Hope this helps and gives you confirmation that the network receiver operates great when properly set-up. Good luck!

There are three possibilities that I've experienced where I get no sound from my speakers, all operator error: The first is that I've put the stereo on mute, but not recognized it. The second is that I've inadvertently set the volume control to either zero or close to zero. The third is that I have my single set of speakers hard-wired to "A" but I've inadvertently switched the output to "B".

I have not tried Bluetooth speakers with my receiver. I have tested the Bluetooth with headphones and it worked ok. I really like the app for remote control. Can use a phone or tablet to control receiver. It also works well for streaming Pandora or Serius.
bradley  Aug 07, 2019
A
No. The Bluetooth is for input to the receiver not output. However it part of Yamaha's Musicast family and you can sent music via WiFi to other powered speakers or amplifiers in that family.
harold  Aug 06, 2019
A
Using the MusicCast app, I am able to pump audio to both my hard wired Klipsch bookshelf speakers connected to the R-N303, plus as many *MusicCast* enabled wireless speakers as I want via bluetooth. (You still need a wifi connections for all of this to work). I have not tried this with any blue tooth speakers that are not MusicCast enabled. I would think if they are just standard bluetooth, you'd have an either/or situation. We have been slowly upgrading all of our wireless speakers to Yamahas (including our soundbard) so we can take full advantage of the MusicCast technology. It's really sweet. We have five wireless speakers plus our soundbar throughout our house and can mix and match any speaker with another by linking them. We can even pump audio from our old Nakamichi tape desk, Denon turntable and SONY CD player through the R-N303 to the MusicCast enabled speakers with either wifi or blue tooth. Hope this helps.

Can i hook up a amp to this r-n303?
tommy  Jul 20, 2019

No. The R-N 303 is a receiver, which is to say, an integrated amplifier with a built in FM tuner. A review of the instruction manual, which is available on the Crutchfield web site, reveals no mention about pairing it up with an auxiliary amplifier. If you now have a power amplifier, the components you would likely want to pair it with are a standalone pre-amplifier and a standalone tuner. You'll find both on the Crutchfield web site. The last time I looked at tuners on Crutchfield, quite a while ago, I used Crutchfield's search engine.

This Frequency is for the FM Stereo Tuner. The inputs, including Bluetooth audio is rated 20 hz - 20 Khz and in DIRECT mode (which bypasses user tone settings) 10 hz - 100 Khz.

The line output on the R-N303 will work to transmit the audio signal from any input you have selected on the receiver. The output is fixed though; so if you're connecting an external amplifier it will need to have its own volume control.
