This era of Yamaha gear has a subtle futuristic look to it with the brushed aluminum face and linear, orderly placement of the knobs and switches. In a dark listening room the big rectangular dial lens welcomes you with a warm glow. At nearly 50 years old, some signs of wear are natural, and this piece is no exception. Take a look at the pics and see just how beautiful this receiver truly is.

- Liner Notes
Yamaha's CR-800 stereo receiver shares the clean, almost stark styling that characterizes the company's line of electronic components. A large rectangular dial cutout occupies most of the upper half of the satin-finish aluminum panel, although the dial scales themselves account for only a fraction of that width. In contrast to the "blackout" dials that have appeared on most tuners and receivers in recent years, the CR-800 dial has a light silver finish matching that of the panel, and it is protected by a clear glass window. The FM tuning scale is calibrated in linearly spaced intervals of 0.5 MHz, and it employs a wide illuminated clear indicator with a thin hairline for precise station setting.
