Hello,
A buddy of mine and I stoped at an old appliance store today because they used to sell stereo equipt. After a walk to the back room my freind spied a Yamaha R2000 reciever and bought it for $10.00. After taking it home we found the pre/ main jumpers missing and used RCA cables as jumpers ( I don't know if this is kosher ) and the unit lit up and after a few seconds came out of protection and appeared to work as the tuner locked on a station. Sadly, we could not get any sound out of the unit with any of the inputs. After reading the specs and some posts about this reciever I am tempted to advise my friend to have the unit repaired as he has been looking for a more powerful unit than his current Pioneer SX780 and these R2000's are also known for great tuners. If any of you Yamaha guys could give me some info/ insight into this model I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jacks son
