Dead on arrival: won't even turn on

I bought this in December for our new house under construction. We finally moved in and went with my Yamaha TSR-850 for the install in February. The block doesn't even turn on. Now I'm out of Revane's returns window. So basically I'm sticking with it. Grrrrr

Pros
  • Many fit
Cons
  • I have no bad feelings everything is fine

Great product to integrate with other Yamaha components.

I have a Yamaha turntable, a pair of MusicCast 20 speakers and a Yamaha receiver. The subwoofer blends seamlessly with my pair of Stereo 20s and sounds great. At the moment I'm trying to set up the Yamaha firmware. With Vinla direct playback along with Bluetooth and networking this is the perfect system once set up with the help of Yamaha staff (a little tricky to complete).

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Poor sound quality/quantity

I bought the wired version (Yamaha NS-SW100BL) then thought I would prefer the wireless version (this product is a MusicCast SUB 100 wireless subwoofer). At least that's what I thought until I heard them. No comparison - the wireless version is back. The wireless version sounds muffled and doesn't deliver the same clarity or volume as the wired version. Get the wired version, enjoy the best sound and spend less than half the price of this device.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Repair

The replacement unit causes the same main unit shutdown issue RX-A780

So far I have been a fan of Yamaha products which have had great success with my RX-V1000 which is still working without any problems. The RX-A780 was great until the MusicCast Sub 100 came out. It worked fine for a few months, and then the receiver (RX-A780) randomly turned itself off. To shorten my review, I replaced the receiver and subwoofer and now the problems are back. Through trial and error I have found that until now the problem has not reoccurred until the subwoofer is plugged in and

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some errors

Not wireless compatible with YSP-1600 soundbar

Gave my wired audio system away, wanted wireless speakers and a subwoofer, bought the YSP-1600 a few months ago, was very happy with the soundbar, recently bought the subwoofer 100 while I waited for a wireless connection to the YSP-1600. After spending many hours setting up MusicCast to wirelessly connect the YSP-1600 and Sub 100, I contacted support to be informed that the wireless connection between the YSP-1600 and Sub 100 is NOT supported. What is misleading is that you can add Sub 100 toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
