Amazon.com Product Description
The Yamaha MCR-E810 mini-system is a great choice for smaller living rooms with its compact profile and 120 watts of total power (60 watts x 2 channels). It also offers two discrete amps and speakers made of finely tuned cabinets and equipped with carefully selected units. It has a single-disc DVD/CD player that's compatible with a good assortment of formats, including DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, VCD, and CD-R/RW discs as well as MP3, WMA, JPEG, and DivX digital files. In addition to utilizing a Direct PLL IF Count Synthesizer Tuning system, this model also makes station selection easy. You can preset as many as 40 stations for instant one-touch tuning, and with each one the tuning mode (auto or manual) is also memorized. You can also operate an iPod via the MCR-E810's remote unit with the aid of the receiver's display when using the (optional) Universal Dock. Its discrete construction precisely places each carefully selected part without dependency on IC chips. The amplifier uses all analog circuits, including the volume section. While it is compact, it includes high sound quality measures scrupulously designed in every detail: a large power supply transformer, high sound quality parts groups (including new capacitors), a high stiffness body with an octagonal section that is resistant to resonance, and large speaker terminals compatible with banana plugs. The receiver's subwoofer out terminal outputs bass frequencies so you can connect a subwoofer. Adding a subwoofer to your system pays big dividends: not only do you get bigger and better bass sound, but the overall sound field has much greater depth and presence. It also includes a tape/MiniDisc input/output as well as an auxiliary input. The DVD player provides component, composite, and S-Video outputs, as well as digital optical and coaxial audio outputs. The speaker cabinets are built with internal crossbracing offering a unique wedge structure.This type of cross-braced structure is used in top class speakers and Yamaha engineers are able to make the most of its advantages. It produces a tighter sound and the increased strength cuts down unwanted vibration. And they have the same luxurious and environmentally friendly finish as Yamaha's grand pianos. Tech Talk
DivX is a compressed digital video format (like MP3) that's based on the MPEG-4 video compression standard. It can reduce the video from a DVD (MPEG-2) to around 10 percent of its original size while still retaining good video and audio quality, enabling you to store several two-hour length movies on burned DVD media. What's in the Box
Receiver/DVD player, two speakers, speaker cable, remote control (with batteries), AM/FM antennas, printed operating instructions

I have been looking for a compact hi-fi system for some time now. I purchased and returned a number of them. I must say that I found it, this is it. Beautiful sound just what I am looking for. Thumbs up for Yamaha for developing such a superb system.

I'VE PUT THESE LITTLE SPEAKERS ON TOP OF MY OLD SPEAKER TOWERS AND YOU WOULD SWEAR THE SOUND IS COMING FROM THE BIG TOWERS. I CAN'T TURN THE VOLUME UP TO 50% WITHOUT GOING OUT IN THE YARD. IT'S INCREDIBLE.
Great "small" system December 21, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a great small system! Very nice looks, superb sound (especialy when you add a sub-woofer), accepts a fair number of inputs (including ipod, with an optional adapter). The system can play LOUD with minimal distortion for its size (if that's important to you). No problems with CDs and DVDs. I have my TV hooked up to it; great sound. Compare to a Bose Wave at 2/3 times the price; this system wins hands down. A few minor nit-picks:
- the DVD/CD player is a bit slow at responding to some buttons, especially OPEN/SHUT;
- some "nice to have" functions are missing from the remote: mute; turn off the DVD/CD player independently from the receiver; push-button TV station controls.
Overall a nicely balanced system suitable for use as a main system in a small apartment/condo or a very nice second system in the bedroom, office, etc.
I LOVE THIS SYSTEM November 28, 2007

-- The sound is superb. My jaws pretty much dropped when I first heard this, and I still find myself stunned sometimes (and I've had this system for several months at this point).
-- DVDs look great. I have this hooked up to a 20" HDTV, via component cables and progressive scan output. I was worried that the video quality might not be too great given that I am using an HDTV, but I am more than happy. Some DVDs look better than others, but that's normal.
-- Wonderful design. Simple front panel. Solid construction.
-- [minor complaint] The DVD/CD player starts playing automatically when you power-on the system (assuming there is a disc in the system) and also starts playing automatically whenever you insert a disc, even if the system is not in DVD/CD mode. As far as I know there is no way to disable this. I find this a little annoying, but not exceedingly so.
-- [minor complaint] Sometimes the DVD/CD functions on the remote don't work (even when the system is in in DVD/CD mode). This scared me the first time it occurred, but all you have to do is use the remote to select a different mode and then use the remote to select DVD/CD again. This happens when you've used the knob on the front panel to change into DVD/CD mode (I guess the remote doesn't really know what mode it is in unless you make the change on the remote itself). It might happen other times (I'm not sure) but the solution is always the same. I know this sounds really annoying, but as I've indicated, it's really easy to overcome this problem.
-- [minor complaint] I'm not very fond of the station preset system and the corresponding controls on the remote. The presets use a letter plus number system (e.g., A1, A2...). I assume that this was done to make it easier to jump ahead when you are scrolling through the presets (i.e., it is as easy to jump from A1 to B1 as it is to jump from A1 to A2), but it is also a little confusing. Given that there are already numbers on the remote, I think it would've been neat if they had just numbered the presets and let the numbers on the remote control the presets. Oh well.

I build and design my own amps and speakers and have been exposed to many state of the art systems since 1980 and live recording since 1988. The trick is matching the various gain stages with the load (speaker) and the room. Yamaha can't control your room, but boy have they done an excellent job with the former within their very limited budget. A true bargain for those who can still hear and care about music. If you don't like this system, you have a room issue.
