Almost Perfect, (What's this?) Almost perfect for my Music Together class. But after having received it and looked through the instructions, I realized how the wireless remote would have worked, and wished I'd sprung for that option. But I love it. Great sound and easy to use. I like the red. Adds a touch of whimsy to my preschool classroom.
Worked beautifully . . . UNTIL . . ., (What's this?) First let me say that for the three months that this unit was functioning we were very happy with it. I echo the positive reviews about the sound, functionality and the look of the system.
However, we are now having the power problems described by other reviewers. The unit shuts down on its own at various intervals. Sometimes it will do it seconds after turning it on. Other times it will shut off after 10 to 30 minutes. It has been at the local Yamaha service center for over a month now. Yamaha has not issued a service notice about this problem, otherwise I would already have a replacement unit. As it is, the local techs are taking their time in troubleshooting it. As much as I liked the MCR-140 to begin with, I would not buy it again.
Very nice unit, (What's this?) Have only owned it for 2 days. First I want to say that the photography of the product does not do it justice. Ordered the dark gray color and it is much better looking than the picture would have you believe. Everything about this product is quality. It looks, feels and acts like a high quality audiophile component. It's a little pricier than most other units but worth it. I looked at the Bose Wave but could not justify the price. For me this was a great alternative and it looks better! The sound is good - I've not yet used it enough to say more than that.
One minor negative is the cover for the ipod dock. It does not fit properly, I'm afraid to push any harder to get it to click into place, so I have it siting loosely on top. Most people will not want to cover the dock anyway.
Outstanding bargain, (What's this?) Buy the Bose and pay double because of their expensive advertising campaign. Buy the Yamaha-- zero $ advertising-- save money and get a great sound system. The Yamaha has an additional advantage. From the picture, it may appear that this is one piece. Not so. The speakers stand alone (unlike the Bose) and the wires connecting them to the main unit are long enough to provide excellent separation. Rarely do I buy a product without some flaw. I have used the Yamaha for awhile now without discovering one.
Great bookcase stereo, (What's this?) Just received this -- original one was delayed in shipping and with an email Amazon sent out a new one at no charge.
I put it together in a few moment and with no adjustments have Les Miserables playing (at a fairly high volume, I might add..) and LOVE this micro componenet system. Great sound, no tinniness. I agree with others that the remote is pretty small (and it's a little annoying to have to control tracks and FM changes from the remote, but no biggie for the overall quality of this well-priced machine.) I haven't tried the ipod dock yet.
Will probably have a little challenge adjusting the radio antenna -- sounds great when I'm standing in front of it, but static when I move away, but will work on that.
Excellent sound, great price and very compact system, (What's this?) After searching high and low for a replacement book shelve system for my BOSE soundwave, ( which was a disappointment, since the cd player stopped reading cd's and the dock buttons wouldn't stayed pushed in), I came across this little system.
Because of its higher price, I read all the reviews from A to Z. I'm happy to report that I just got the Yamaha MCR-040 and it sounds great, same or even better than my old BOSE soundwave.
Very Good!, (What's this?) I have been using this player for a few months now, and I must say that I am very impressed with the quality of the player.
Best part, I don't have to worry about complicated equalizers and other buttons. The sound quality is excellent even without the equalizer.
It has a very simple user interface and the ability to play from an external player such as my mobile phone or a simple USB memory stick and extremely usefull.
The orange color player goes great with my furniture (black) so I also like the host of colors that this device is available in.
I wish it did not come with a iPhone dock.
Cons:
Price - Seems a little high for the value. I guess that I am paying for the Yamaha brand name.
Can do with other external inputs in the back panel.
One Thing Missing, (What's this?) First thing first: the Yamaha MCR-040 micro system provides excellent sound for the money. The availability and ease of use of secondary features,such as Sleep function and Alarm function, merit a high mark as well As do the attractively designed and colored speaker and receiver boxes.
One feature, however,let me down. Like many such devices, easy access is provided for an Apple mp3. To use another mp3 device, one has to connect it through the available USB port.Alas, the Yamaha MCR-040 USB fails to recognize mine, even though the Sansa Clip+ is a higher quaility and deservedly popular device. The failure of this one not insignificant function prevents me from offering unqualified praise for the 040.
Expensive is not always better . . ., (What's this?) I've had a problem with my Bose wave system ($450.00). Shortly after the warranty expired,
I started having problems with the functioning of the CD player. I would place a CD in the
player and it may or may not play. After trying to deal with the Bose service department and
the cost of repair, I started looking at other systems. I was very hesitant to spend another
$450.00 on a Bose system.
I found the Yamaha MCR-040 and after reading the reviews, decided to purchase the
Yamaha. Much cheaper than the Bose system. Right out of the box I played a Chopin CD
and an Oscar Peterson CD. It was like taking ear plugs out of my ears. I was extremely
pleased with the quality of the sound for such a small system. I've had the system for a very
short amount of time and haven't made any adjustments but if all remains at such a quality,
I will purchase additional units for our guest room and my studio.
Expensive is not always better . . .
