A:AnswerThe manufacturer description says that it has Bluetooth functions, but I don't know for sure as I have not yet hooked mine up as it is for my winter home. The following is a three star review of the item & Bluetooth function off Amazon:

The receiver is easy to setup, with great functionality. It allows you the option to turn on and off each channel which is a great feature. It also comes with a separate AM/FM antenna's. The sound quality is great. The only problem with it is its onboard Bluetooth adapter. When using the onboard Bluetooth adapter you lose bass response, gain and sound quality. Fortunately for me I had an aftermarket Logitech Bluetooth adapter that connected to the audio in left and right ports and now the Bluetooth quality is up to par with the receivers great audio quality. Otherwise I would give it a 5 star rating.
A:AnswerCheck both ends of all your speaker wire connections.
Seems the circuit protection system is being activated.
This usually occurs when an improper speaker install is made.
Also, make sure your impedance settings on the receiver is set
to the proper position 6 or 8 ohm.
Trying to power a 6 ohm speaker with the amp set at 8 ohm may
also activate the circuit protection system.

A:AnswerNot a good match as this receiver is not a 5.1 surround sound receiver. Keep looking for another receiver. TV hookup is okay with optical digital cable.
A:AnswerI have some Klipsch R-15M speakers that I'm running on a different stereo. That unit is a 100 watt/channel Sony that is similar in features (no Bluetooth) to the Yamaha. I like these speakers and they are pretty close sound wise to the speakers on the Yamaha, some New Advents (no longer made). I can highly recommend the Klipsch speakers. At $250/pair they may or may not be in your budget. BB usually has these is stock and you may be able to go into the store and give them a listen with some music you are familiar with. I've seen them on sale from time to time and maybe BB can price match them if you can find them someplace else, cheaper. Otherwise you could look at some other speakers that are in line with what you can spend. Good Luck!
A:AnswerMeasuring mine, I get:
Width: 17-1/8" (this is the faceplate dimension, which is 1/8" total wider than the main metal case of 17" width)
Height: 5-1/2" (includes bottom feet and faceplate overhang over the top of the metal case)
Depth: 11-3/8" from front face to rear face. Add another 13/16" for the volume knob, if you're trying to clear a front cabinet door. I didn't measure the protrusion of the rear RCA and 75 ohm FM antenna connectors, figuring there are cable connections which will vary the usable dimensions.
Let me know if you need any other specific dimensions. I hope this helps!
A:AnswerYes if your turntable already has a built in RIAA Phono Preamplifier, then yes you would then connect the turntable's RCA cable to any one of the LINE 1 through LINE 3 input jacks on the receiver. As far as the speakers are concerned, this receive has the potential of delivering 100 R.M.S. (i.e. Honest) watts per channel into an 8-ohm load. So yes this receiver can drive ANY speaker to a comfortable listening level in a typical residential listening environment.
A:AnswerAloha Greg -
I've had this unit for a little over a month, and the one thing I've noticed is that you do have to crank them up (mid-40s and higher) before you notice the sound source. I've not checked the signal or anything, just thought it was the scaling by the company). I use mine for the tuner, and amp for CD/TV.
I'm using pretty heavy gauge monster speaker wire - but as a test this weekend, I'll connect the B&W 500s I'm using w/some lighter gauge wire and see if it makes a difference. I'll save the best buy email I received with your question so I can shout out anything I do find out.
v/r, duna
A:AnswerI am receiving my favorite station which is sixty five miles away loud and clear using the included antenna. My receiver is located at ground level, reception is crisp and clear with great stereo separation.
My main concern was the Bluetooth ability of this receiver, the great FM reception is a wonderful plus to my way of thinking.
A:AnswerI don't know what an EMX5 is, so I can't answer this specific question. I can say that the hookup was easy, and I now have 2 sets of speakers, a dvd player, a cd player, a cassette player, and a turntable all running through the receiver, either through dedicated inputs or input lines. In other words, there are enough jacks to connect all your stuff to the receiver, AND it has Bluetooth capability. Finally, from a sound perspective, it's a great receiver for a low-end model.
A:AnswerIf you are talking about the SRS 1.2TL, they are rated for 50-1000 watts per channel. People who own these speakers report that high output power is better, so you would probably want at least 200 watts per channel (and perhaps more) for these speakers to perform up to their potential. When you ask what type--any brand would be fine, based on the power; solid-state vs. tube depends on your sound preference and budget; you could use 1) an integrated amplifier, 2) a stereo receiver, 3) an amplifier(s)/pre-amp setup. I'm not sure what other "type" of power amplifiers exist.
A:AnswerThe line 3 in/out shows that it was designed for a audio recording device. I actually use the line out to feed my soundbar which I use for speakers. I don't think it would do what you want in the true fashion of your intention.
A:AnswerOf course, this depends on 1) your budget and 2) your sound preference. Assuming you want to spend in the "budget" category, since this question is posted in the Yamaha R-S202BL section, good amplifier and receivers with phono input would include the Sony STR-DH100, Onkyo A-9110, NAD C 316BEE, in ascending order of cost. The Sony is an excellent receiver for its low cost and also includes bluetooth capability. The Onkyo is reputed to have a sound signature on the "brighter" side, if you prefer that type of sound. The NAD is on the darker side--certainly darker than the Yamaha R-S202BL (I own both plus the Sony, but not the Onkyo), meaning it has a bit more bass output with less treble. The Yamaha R-S202BL is an excellent sounding receiver, especially for its cost (I prefer it to the Sony), but it does not have a phono preamp, which you would have to purchase separate. Best Buy sells a Pyle phono preamp for $22.99; I do not know how well it performs.
