Digital USB Connection for iPad® and Other USB Devices
A USB terminal on the top of the unit makes it quick and easy to plug in an iPad or other USB device. The digital connection permits fast, lossfree signal transmission.
Dock digital connection for iPod® or iPhone®
The iPhone/iPod dedicated dock provides a digital connection, which means that the digital signal from the iPhone/iPod is transmitted directly to the receiver. This minimizes noise interference and allows use of the MCR-232 DAC, rather than the /iPhone/iPod DAC, resulting in more precise sound reproduction.
Front Panel and Knobs Have Aluminum Hairline Finish
The aluminum hairline finish of the front panel and knobs also contributes to the over high class appearance of the system.
High Quality Finish and Removable Speaker Grilles
The speakers have a beautiful, high quality finish that looks elegant in any setting. The speaker grilles are also designed for good looks, but can be removed for a more basic appearance.
New-Design, High Sound Quality 2-way Bass Reflex Speakers
The 2-way bass reflex speakers employ 4-3/8” woofer units and are supported by three legs that prevent external vibrations from affecting the sound. The result is strong bass and rich mid-range and treble, so you enjoy high sound quality with good imaging.
VCCS Technology Ensures that the Speakers Accurately Reproduce the Sound from the Main Unit
Speaker cabinets vibrate, degrading sound quality. To overcome this, Yamaha drew upon its musical instrument manufacturing expertise to develop an internal structure called VCCS (Vibration Control Cabinet Structure), which uses strategically placed pieces of a composite material that provides excellent vibration isolation performance.
Subwoofer Output and AUX-in Terminals
The subwoofer out terminals lets you connect a subwoofer to enjoy enhanced bass power and response. The AUX-in terminal allows connection of other audio components.
New Style Remote Control
The remote control has a simplified design that makes it extremely easy to use.
Notable Features
• FM/AM tuner with preset tuning • CD-text compatibility
Technology
Made for iPod®/iPhone®/iPad®
“Made for iPod, iPhone and iPad” means that an electronic accessory has been designed to connect specifically to iPod, iPhone, iPad and has been certified by the developer to meet Apple® performance standards.
iPod Digital Connection

Comments about Yamaha mcr-232:
The AM&FM reception is amazing! I've never been able to listen to my local morning news ,till now! I am also playing music through my Iphone with ease & better quality & clarity then CDs ,that are also great. The remote will do everything in a simple & easy design, I also like the back to basic, bass & treeble controls instead of listing it as jazz,rock etc.I only have 2 months of use,but so far very pleased!

I just received the Yamaha MCR 232 system. It was pretty easy to set up and feels well constructed. The sound is great! It's nice having an AM/FM radio, plus the included antenna is able to pick up all the stations in my area.
