Yamaha AX-497 Natural Sound Integrated Amplifier

Yamaha AX-497 is a Stereo amplifier that generates 85 Watts per Channel (20 to 20,000Hz) for high-performance Audio in a home Component system. The AX-497 offers inputs to connect up to 6 audio components, including a Turntable (without need of a phono preamp). Two sets of main speaker outputs let you connect an additional pair of speakers. A remote control is included.
For those of you who want to use your TV in stereo rather than Surround mode, an aux input is available for TV. There's also an input for a DVD player. The AX-497 has special circuitry to generate clear, definitive Sound that you'd expect from a top-flight component stereo audio system.
