Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy full-bodied two-channel sound without breaking the bank with the Teac AG-790 stereo receiver. Equipped with 200 watts of total output power at 8 ohms (100 watts x 2), the AG-790 offers an affordable means of driving your left and right speakers to produce crisp, commanding audio. Among the receiver's audio features are a discrete circuit configuration that separates the audio signals for greater clarity; A/B speaker selection, which lets the listener choose an alternate pair of speakers; and binding post speaker terminals that provide a pure, high-quality connection. As with many receivers, the AG-790 also boasts a quartz PLL-synthesized AM/FM tuner with 30 AM and 30 FM presets. Thanks to the tuner, listeners can easily locate their favorite stations or browse among the dozens of presets (enough for virtually any size market). Users also have the choice of using the manual or auto-tuning. Other add-ons include a multifunction fluorescent display, a front-panel headphone jack for private listening, and a full-function remote control. The receiver measures 17.12 by 5.47 by 13.19 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 21.2 pounds. What's in the Box

 Death Star?? December 25, 2007

Bought one a year ago. In a matter of weeks the power transformer died. Amazon replaced. Now, just beyond warranty, the power transformer on this one has died. Need I say more?
 Correction regarding Phone and preamps July 3, 2007

Previous commenter stated:
"It also has a 'phono' input which has gone away on all others. Contrary to what the salesmen said, a 'phono' CANNOT be connected to the CD or other input without an additional pre-amp. "
Most (all?) modern phonographs have pre-amps built-in. If this is true in your case, then yes you can hook the phonograph to the CD, tape or other 'line-level' inputs.
If you have an older phonograph that does not have a built-in preamp, then you will either need to hook it up to a 'phono' input that is designed for this purpose, or you will need an additional preamp so that you can connect it to a line-level input.
This is because older phonographs, just like many microphones have a very low signal level. The preamp amplifies this low level signal to 'line-level' that your (speaker) amplifier is used to dealing with.
fully adequate when working December 24, 2006

Purchased via Amazon 9+ months ago, and I was satisfied for the first few months. It did the job as my music sounded fine. But problems arose. It has inputs for Tape/Aux/CD/Tuner/Phono ~ and I installed 3 of the inputs (Aux/CD/Tape). Now it won't tell one from another - sometimes it plays CD when you push Aux, or Aux when you push Tape, othertimes it takes a power-off/power-on to find the Aux source. And the volume control is wacko - the volume gauge runs from 1 to 62, and I play cd's at around level 15, the aux. source at around 30 and Tapes at 40 ~ all to the same level of loudness. When switching to CD after an Aux. input I get BLASTED if I don't remember to turn down the volume.
So my sister loaned me a Denon (a higher-end stereo receiver line) and I was surprised at the step up (cost to value.) Suddenly I'm aware the Teac had (at best) a poor surround system, and a poor interface, and no subwoofer, central speaker, functionable surround options. So was the Denon worth $130? Yes, the quality of sound to the main speakers is fine, and worth $130 if it worked properly (I obviously got a defective unit.) But maybe I should have saved up and gotten a Denon (or equivalent higher-end) in the first place ($500) ~ having access to surround, central, subwoofer etc. is wonderful.
 Ultimately Disappointed December 5, 2006

I purchased two of these receivers. One still functions fine, but causes a distinct hum in my speakers, regardless of input. The second one causes the same hum and the speaker switches are broken after a year of use (and now out of warranty.)
If you are looking for a standalone receiver, spend the extra $$ and get a real receiver. This one is barely passable.
A good receiver with (currently) rare features! November 20, 2005

This receiver has a mechanical on/off switch and a (short 3 day ??) memory on settings. The remote will also turn the unit to 'standby' if the front switch is left "on". The other controls are tactile, but will hold settings if unit is unplugged / reconnected. It is now unusual for a receiver to be controlled (on/off) by terminating the power to it, without losing the previous settings. This was important to my application. It also has a 'loudness' control which is strangely absent on the new receivers. I will not own a receiver without a loudness function!
It also has a 'phono' input which has gone away on all others. Contrary to what the salesmen said, a 'phono' CANNOT be connected to the CD or other input without an additional pre-amp.
I found it necessary to replace a fancy high line Technics receiver after 12 years of faultless performance. This Teac AG-790A was the ONLY receiver on the market that had all the controls operating as I needed them to operate.
As far as the performance as an amp goes, there are doubtless better ones available at higher prices. There are apparently NONE at any price that have the combination of features the AG-790 has, however. It works very well, none the less, and it is inexpennsive. Judging from the size and design of the heat sink and the attatched solid state output devices, I doubt this receiver REALLY has the advertised RMS output. At least not for long. Saying that, however, it WILL rattle the windows if so desired.
I give it a wholehearted 'thumbs up' as it was the only choice I had considering its (somewhat outdated) features missing on other 'new' units. It's exactly what I wanted, and the overall performance is VERY satisfactory.
