A:AnswerSpeakers in each box would have to be a minimum of 6 ohms and preferably 8 ohms. The would also need to be connected via serial circuit or a crossover network, as to not increase or decrease the impedence which could damage the reciveer unit, and potentially be a fire hazard.
A:AnswerIt does all of the above besides the built in CD player. You would need to by a separate CD player or go by a mini system stereo. I would spend the extra money on a separate CD player I were you
A:AnswerTurntable needs preamp to be heard. Many modern tables contain preamp. Can be purchased separately for a vintage turntable. I recommend this receiver.
A:AnswerYour iphone volume does control volume but the initial volume is controlled at the receiver. My receiver is located in the garage and I can use it outside for about 50 yards.
Great for around the pool when the receiver is inside.
A:AnswerWell since the Samsung TV you have has an optical audio output and the Yamaha R S202 only has RCA analog audio inputs you will need both a Toslink optical cable and a optical - to - RCA adaptor. I hate that most new smart TVs no longer have RCA analog audio outputs. Fortunately I just bought a Vizio m507-g1 and it has RCA outputs so I was able to hook my Yamaha R S202 up using RCA cables.
A:AnswerI don't use apple air play I looked at its manual. I don't see apple air play in the manual. It has a nice Bluetooth . I was able to coronet it to my mobile.
A:AnswerIts not recommended. And why would you want to do that anyway? You're sound doesn't get louder or improve simply by adding more speakers to an individual channel. You run the risk of increasing or decreasing the impedence, which can harm the reciever and is potentially a fire hazard.
