Title: Disappointing Yamaha HTR-5730
Review: Purchased Yamaha HTR-5730 receiver from Amazon based on price and other user reviews. As expected, it is made in China. Right out of the box and connected, the volume control knob on my unit does not work - so much for manufacturer's quality control. Volume can be adjusted by remote control only. All other features seem to be working. Sound is good. Turning on and switching between modes makes loud clicks. Remote control has strange layout and is unintuitive to use.Now that I have a Yamaha lemon on my hands, my only options are to pay extra to ship it back for a refund, or to a Service Center for repair. My emails to Yamaha are not returned. The customer support by phone is long-distance. The 800 number only repeats the contact info found on their website.Moral of the story: do not buy bottom-of-the-line products, even if they bear the Yamaha logo.
