Sony Am Fm Receiver With Bluetooth

I live in a hilly area where FM is sketchy and only few stations come trough, but AM radio rules. Radio is great, and both AM and FM antennas work well. Interestingly, Yamaha seems to be the only one on the market with FM. On the amplifier side it works with an older JVC tape deck, but if I want to listen to vinyl, an additional preamp is needed on the way to the receiver, receiver's amplifier alone won't work. Once preamp is in place all sounds fine. The Bluetooth is the receive mode to play from the devices. This is not a send mode Bluetooth to Bluetooth speakers, as some users assume.

I bought this about a month ago to replace a 34 year old (!) Sony Stereo receiver. The old one had AM-FM receiver capability. This one only has FM Receiver built-in, but it sounds a lot cleaner than the older model. This one has fewer output jacks than my older one, but is more than adequate for my setup (Sony Stereo Cassette Deck - going on 20 years now also !), and a bluetooth Audio-Technica Record Player. This model also contains the regular size headphone jack AND a standard audio output jack on the front for older style cassette players, walkman's, etc. Very unusual feature but useful for me as I still use some of that older gear from time to time. I primarily bought and use this product for its bluetooth capability which works excellently. I have my phone, and computer able to play music to it through bluetooth. I realize bluetooth specs don't carry the full frequency range for a lot of audio musical pieces (such as classical music), but for the everyday average pop music it's just fine. This is a great entry level unit for a person who is not an audio-phile. I also bought this because of Sony durability in its products. This thing is built like a brick. Good design accents, solid metal frame, heavy duty components. I will always buy Sony products - good balance between cost, design, and functionality. Couldn't be happier with this product.

The FM receiver is great, the AM is very good.... just not alot of stations to test it anymore. Great sound quality,and simple design with real walnut. Bluetooth works great, speaker sounds better than would have expected for the small size. The outputs are nice for recording broadcasts.

I use this receiver for AM/FM radio, CD, and IPod. It is simple, and does the job very well. AB speakers, either or all. Great price. all in all I'm very happy with this unit.

I use this Mic for Wedding on the beach and this is the best mic I have, no problem with FM or AM. ita a bluetooth, just perfect.

Terrific receiver/amplifier for the money. Great FM reception and the bluetooth range is very good. Very good sound quality. The unit is very easy to configure and operate.

This stereo receiver checks off all the features we need. The first selling points were the Bluetooth and FM receiver and the ability to connect to the room's built-in speakers in a small compact unit. It is a perfect size.

I ordered Energizer AA batteries for my new Sony ICF 506 AM/FM radio. Delivered on time. For many, many years I have been a very satisfied customer of B&H - Thank you again for your help.

I bought two of these radios, one for work and one for home. I can pull in stations that none of my other AM/FM radios, including a Sony and a Sharp, will receive clearly. The sound is good and it is sturdy and well built. If you are looking for a basic AM/FM radio that runs off both batteries and AC then this model offers excellent value.

I was happy myself to buy a radio and FM/AM Clock Radio.
