Customer Reviews:

Excellent receiver for the price.......2007-06-27

I am satisfied with this purchase. The receiver was packaged well and arrived promptly. The receiver works well, although its output is noticeably less dramatic than other receivers I have owned--a relevant comment if dramatic sonority is a priority for you. Differences in speakers, CD players, room characteristics and individuals' hearing standards comprise significant variables. The stereo system is placed in a small room, and considering the modest price and what some reviewers report as responsive customer service, I recommend this receiver as a good buy.

It meets my needs well.......2007-06-24

I'm really happy with this, i was looking for an inexpensive replacement for my Technics receiver that died very dead. I mainly listen to music with AirTunes, playing wirelessless from my laptop to my Airport Express which is connected by cable to the receiver. I have some 8 inch two way Bose bookshelf speakers. The sound fills the room ok, not like a sensoround experience or anything like that, but the sound quality is nice, detailed, rich, good enough for me right now at a time when i have other priorities and am not investing in hi fi. It was very easy to set up and to program the stations. I get lots of stations, some of which come in at some times better than others. But again, i mainly want to listen to the mp3s on my computer. This receiver does fine for that, and at a price that didn't hurt a bit. (annoying to have my other receiver die, but it was old). The remote is simple and works fine. Inexpensive receivers sure have a lot more watts than they used to last time i was buying.

Very pleased.......2007-04-18

It took me a while to find a stereo receiver at an optimal quality to price ratio !
I am no Audio expert; I just like to listen to good quality classical and jazz music and this receiver does a great job for a great price.
It's simple to setup, easy to use, and can receive most audio components (i.e. turn table, cd player, and tape recorder/player). The radio works well and receives most radio stations in my area.

Excellent low priced stereo receiver.......2007-03-17

First my qualifications: I am older, with a large collection of vintage vinyl, and a love of on-air classical music. My stereo system uses two Acoustic Research AR-2Ax speakers. I am not a modern audiophile.
That said, I am completely satisfied with the Teac AG-790A receiver. I required phono inputs, and this relatively inexpensive receiver has those and they work. I also listen to a local classical music FM station (Santa Barbara still does have one) and this unit has endeared itself to me by the way it locks to that signal. I have also used its video input to play the sound from a six hour VHS tape of swing band music.
In short, it has done everything I wanted. If your needs are similar to mine, you'll not go wrong with this unit.

Needs Improvement.......2007-02-12

The TEAC AG-790A could use some improvements, even considering its budget price. I have several complaints. From the moment I turn on the unit, there is an ever present background hiss coming through the speakers. It is especially noticeable during quiet passages in music, or when listening at low volume levels. The tuner sensitivity is very weak; only the strongest local stations come in good. One thing I find extremely annoying on this model is that some of the settings will always return to their default settings, no matter where you put them. For instance, when you select FM mono, it will return to stereo as soon as you change stations. Another is the tuning mode; when you select "manual tuning mode," it will keep returning to "preset tuning mode!" Speaking of presets, there are no numeric buttons for direct preset access on the unit or the remote, so you have to scroll through them all to get to your station. The volume control is another major issue. It tends to "jump around" if you are trying to make fine adjustments to the volume. It, like most models today, has the type where digital numbers appear on the display when you turn it. I will have it set to 10 and want to go up just one or two; as soon as I grab the knob, it "jumps" down to 8 first. I even had it jump to max volume while listening with headphones. I almost threw my headphones across the room! I prefer the older style volume control where you had a pointer on the knob with a numeric scale around it. Oh, and while we're on the subject of knobs, here's a neat trick: make the bass/treble/balance control buttons round so that in your frontal product photos they will look like conventional knobs even though they are actually buttons! To adjust the bass/treb/balance, you must press the button then turn the volume knob to make the adjustments. I hate this! I like to just grab a single knob and tweak my settings, not go through a two step process every time I want to make an adjustment. Another peculiarity is the sleep timer setup. The scale counts down instead of up. In other words, if you want to set it for 20 minutes, you have to press the button to go from 90, 80, 70...all the way down to 20. If the timer has counted down to 10 minutes and you want to add another 10, you must count down to 0 first and start over at 90 and count down until you get to 20 again! I have never seen a sleep timer on any other device that works in reverse like this one. They usually count up, so if you want to add time you just press once or twice. The functionality of the sleep timer is not usually a major consideration when I shop for gear, but it just seems a little strange that they would design it that way. Another thing that is worth mentioning is that the phono input sensitivity seems a bit low; I have to turn the volume control up to a fairly high level before getting a decent sound level when using my turntable, and I have a phono cartridge with a high output level. I originally purchased the Sherwood RX-4105, but I returned it because it did not have phono input or tape "monitoring."(see my review of the RX-4105) As far as sound quality goes, I think the Sherwood was a little better, due to the hiss I mentioned on the TEAC. However, the tuner was just as weak on the Sherwood. I went with these models because my old receiver gave out and I was looking for an inexpensive model to tide me over until I could save some money for a more expensive model. The TEAC fills the bill to some degree, but I wish I had spent a little bit more and got one of the Onkyo models. At least they have numeric preset buttons, and conventional bass/treb/balance knobs. This review may be too much useless information for some people, but I know the product specs and features list doesn't always tell the whole story.
