Yamaha 703 Remote Control Trim Switch

Have only had it for a few days, but I love the power switch and volume control on the remote.

A week into this amplifier and I’m pleased with its performance and value.  The A-S301 replaces a Denon PMA-600NE which I had -- briefly.  The main problem with the Denon was the dodgy motorized volume control.  Like the motorized volume control on the A-S301, it rotates clockwise from about 7:00 to 5:00 either by hand or by using the remote.  The problems with the Denon were (1) it had almost no volume between 7:00 and about 8:30, and then the volume came on with a rush and (2) the steps using the remote were too coarse (an online review of a Marantz amplifier – same parent company – noted the same things).  I was curious how the Yamaha volume control would work, but I need not have worried.  I stuck a little orange dot on the volume knob and it was easy to tell that both the knob movement and the volume levels were aligned, and that the amplifier was capable of fine adjustment manually or with the remote.  The other nice feature about the A-S301 (and its siblings) is the loudness control.  I haven’t needed it much for contemporary CDs or FLAC files, but recently I got some FLACs and CDs of re-mastered Arturo Toscanini/NBC Symphony recordings from the early 1950s. These are mono, but adjusting both the volume and loudness greatly improved the listening experience.  Kudos to Yamaha for that feature at this price point.  I’m using a pair of Polk ES15 speakers, which is a combination that several online reviews recommend.  I also have a Polk XT10 down-firing subwoofer. My living room is not large, and the Yamaha/Polk setup makes for a very good listening experience.  The only thing I miss from the Denon is the built-in Bluetooth for listening.  I like to play music from the speakers, and also use a pair of on-ear headphones around inside the house.  I still haven’t found a good solution for that, but it certainly wasn’t a deal breaker. Taking all into consideration, and as others have noted, the A-S301 punches way above its weight.

This switch box was better than I thought it would be. It has a remote control included to switch between inputs. But as it turns out I have not needed it yet . The box automatically changes input when a device powers up. Plug and play easy install.

This device provides the means of remote control of lights (on, off, intensity). The Vasa app used to interface with the switch is simple to use and includes switch installation instructions that were thorough and clear.  I have very little experience with electrical wiring, but was able to effect the installation in relatively short order.  Just needed to make a quick trip to the hardware store to buy a current detector.  The switch has an elegant appearance and can be smoothly operated, either directly or remotely

I am a photo hobbyist and was looking for a wired remote switch for my canon 7d camera. I wanted to be able to control the shutter for long exposures. I was using it for firework displays and trailing automobile tailights. This product is well made, fits correctly and does exactly what I need it for. Best of all the price is great.

At the time you get a digital equipment, you missed some features that you use to have on your analog camera. The remote switch help you to obtain better shots when you have to control the objects you are shooting. Even for an amateur photographer, the remote control, is an accesory you need to have. Thank Canon to keep on market many features to the DC-10, the most valuable equipment I have. Although, the cord is to short in many cases.

After I get this remote switch I just get addicted to it, its so helpful and gives you a lot of control and accuracy while you shoot. your way of shooting macro change a lot, getting sharper images and real time control. I strongly recomend it.

It allows me to either use the remote or the receiver as the switch. I really like it.

I love using the remote switch!
