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 line-level output (fixed).

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).

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 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.
