This will not be used for TV only for music. I want to hook up turntable and CD player only. 1) how is the sound with this unit? 2) Will it play Pandora straight out of the box? 3) If I want to use B speakers, do I have to play A speakers at the same...

The V573 does not have a pre-amp for turntables like older receivers. So a pre-amp is needed to use a turntable unless it it a newer turntable with a built in pre-amp. The sound is excellent. Very good discrimination, s/n ratio, voice rendition, and power. I couldn't expect more for my large room. I use a decibel meter to try to go easy on the ears. The volume gets dangerous at about 2/3 volume. I haven't tried to set up for Pandora, but internet radio on it is amazing. More content than I can ever explore completely. So I haven't used Pandora since. I also use my mobile phone to control the internet radio menu and play. The Yamaha app is very good. Speakers A or B each can be used separately, but B in another location of course will not have the other surround sound channels.

sound is very good,however the price and the inherent issue with cd player that BOSE refuses to address make it a no brainer.You can find similar sound for a much lower price.I own one and it is a $500 radio because cd player refuses to work.I know several people with the same issue.Getting back to your ? sound is VG to EX

Hi Nicholas Honestly I have never used it for that purpose, sorry I have an Onkyo receiver that does that for me. Sorry I have been pleased with its general function however, quick disc download etc.Good Luck.

Hello Oscar,You are completely right.You can surely conect any externa source of sound , you just need RCA outputs at your source device or any kind of output with the adapter cable.I have my audio player connected with the "mini jack" to RCA cable and it works great, so your CD player will work as well.Hopefully you will have as much fun with this "baby", as I have. GREAT sound .Regards.Marek

I use the TV sound and it suits me fine. Granted it's not the best it can be, but if you don't like it you can buy a amplifier receiver & speakers and go at it.

Actually, I bought an old Sony home theater receiver from Craigslist for $20. These older receivers (the ones with Dolby Prologic but not Dolby Digital and/or DTS) have A and B speaker outputs, which can both be run at the same time for a total of four speakers in stereo. If you're not put off by the idea of buying things from Craigslist, this might be the best and most affordable option (affordability being, I assume, the biggest criterion if you're buying these speakers, as was the case for me). I hope this helps. :)

I generally like Pioneer, but if you read my review you might guess I'm wondering why you would want to hook anything to the BD. Having said that, I'm sure they're not all that bad. Not sure, but I believe phono input level is different from than aux / cd... I also believe their is an inexpensive converter on Amazon and elsewhere. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure, if I don't want to see the the display I just close it and it will still play CD's and DVD's, It's really nice I just took it with me on vacation and I was playing my IPod, DVD 's though it on the TV in the room, also hooked up my smart phone to it and was playing music from Pandora on it, my furture son in law said thats nice how much did that cost and where can I get one. I Hope it was help to your question, I get so carried away when someone ask me about my iLive CD/DVD/iPhone radio.

if she wants to save space and has the appropriate 3.5mm line in hookup on the cd player, its a decent option. it wont be as powerful, but they are nice for the price. i use it as surround sound in my studio for the tv. good luck!

The sound is fantastic. I'm not sure about Pandora. The B Speakers can be played separately.

I do not see anything like this in my CD/Onkyo unit Information. Question: Can you connect WHAT to your Bose? Are you asking if you can connect the ONKYO disc player to your BOSE RADIO and thereby use the BOSE Speaker System (in the radio) AS your SPEAKER SYSTEM for the CD's you inject,... I have no answer for that....IF THAT IS YOUR QUESTION you will have to confer with the Bose Company itself.

This preamp takes the input from the turntable and makes the signal compatible with inputs to amps that don't have a phono input. So, if you plug it into a CD input it should work just fine. It is analog, so it is up to your receiver (in your case the sound bar) to figure out what to send to the sub - which it should be able to do.

This is a "component " for a stereo system. You hook it into a receiver, an integrated amplifier, or pre-amp - amplifier system. Not to sound like an audio snob or anything, but if you will be satisfied with the sound of an "all-encompassing CD player" then this high-end player is way overkill. On the other hand, it's a great machine and if it's at a good price you can't go wrong buying it now and plugging it into any low-end amplified speaker system today and upgrading later. Best wishes.

Your good. I stream pandora and YouTube to my head unit through bluetooth. I also had a toggle switch to bypass the settings so I can watch DVD when I'm driving(I know bad idea) but I like having the option.

This unit has very good sound quality. I use it to play CDs in our Ballroom that is approximately 60' x 80' and the music fills the room. The only negative thing is I was told the unit will SHUFFLE all the CDs, however, it will only SHUFFLE one CD at a time. After discussing this with the Sharp Co. they agreed the information on their literature should be changed and be more exact. I do live in a retirement community, so this unit was bought for our dancing and listening enjoyment. Hope this helps.

Agree with the previous comment with the one exception - mine had nonworking CD player so I returned it. Purchased similar but a little more expensive SONY.
