Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to use. Great value. Just what i needed......

I use the receiver with my Yamaha 6-1/2 2-way outdoor speakers and it sounds great! i love the fact that I can use blue tooth to listen to my music. So far i feel like I made a great purchase. The only Improvement that I recommend is that the speaker wire terminals could be a little larger to except a heavy gauge speaker wire.

I bought this Yamaha receiver (model # R-S202BL) based on the reviews of others using Cerwin Vega speakers, since I have CV speakers too. I had originally purchased the Sony 100w/2ch receiver and was disappointed in the lack of power to my Cerwin Vega speakers, so I returned it and bought the Yamaha receiver. This Yamaha receiver is rated the same as the Sony @ 100w per channel, but this Yamaha sounds a lot more powerful and easily drives my speakers, with plenty of powerful sounding volume that can reach beyond 100db. For the price, this Yamaha is a great buy over the Sony I returned (for less) and I am glad I trusted the reviews from other buyers. This receiver can deliver the goods!!!!!

Great Stereo receiver for the $$. Powering my Niles 7.2's for the pool area, plenty of power for my entire 60x100 back yard area. I would have given it 5 stars, but the Bluetooth doesn't work past about 30 feet, so I have to leave the phone inside in order to connect. Also connected a second set of speakers in my work room along with my old CD changer and cassette deck. Very satisfied.

One of the very few remaining simple AV recievers left out there. Extremely straightforward- plug in components, plug in speaker wires and go. The two zone option works well when you have an indoor and outdoor set up. Very nice looking, solid piece. Sound is great coming out of the speakers. Bluetooth option is nice, and was easy to set up and connect.

Was looking for a receiver to play music to our pool area. The make and price of this one caught my attention. Owned many Yamaha products. Glad I bought it, fits the bill. Pluses… A/B speaker selection and Bluetooth capability. It was be nice if it had an optical port for a tv. The sound is good so far. The display is a little small. Remote does everything I need.

Amplifier works great and sounds great. I like that you can Bluetooth to your other components. Overall a great value, would recommend.

Outstanding sound. Love the ability to connect bluetooth on my phone and play all my music

Excellent receiver. Does a great great job running my 6 speakers. Bluetooth connection was easy also. I will buy another one.

I was looking for an inexpensive receiver to use in my home office. I have been very satisfied with the Yamaha - 200w 2-ch. I produces deep sounds for a wide variety of music. I recommend this nicely priced receiver with no reservations.

This 2 channel receiver is perfect for small spaces. The Yamaha motor works flawlessly as always. I have 2 other Yamaha receivers and they are great as well. Far superior to Sony. If your looking for an affordable 2 channel, this is it!]

great sound, very easy to use, good range on the Bluetooth feature.

I'm a 1st time Yamaha electronics buyer other than a dirt bike I owned back in the early 80's. For now, it's sounds pretty good.

Great investment to my system. Works wonderful and the output is amazing. Will definitely be buying more from Best buy.

Bought this as a gift for my grandfather! He Loves it Soud quality is amazing radio reception is a great BT works flawlessly!

Great bluetooth stero for the home. Puts out lots of power.

Excellent sound from this receiver! Great tuner section too. I missed having a phono input though, and returned it for that reason.

Excellent Bluetooth capability! Ease of connectivity. UI

My "ancient" Yamaha receiver that I've been using in my garage finally gave up the proverbial ghost, and I wanted a replacement with a coax antenna input for enhanced FM station reception (FYI, I'd installed a rather extensive omni-directional antenna above my garage replete with a pro-grade coax cable, lightning grounding protection, and upgraded bal-un unit). I can't honestly state that this receiver matches the overall performance of my previous unit given the wonderful FM station sensitivity that it had. But ATC, this unit is quite satisfactory driving upstairs and/or downstairs Dayton 6.5" speaker sets that allows me to really enjoy CDs and FM radio broadcasts at tolerable acoustic volumes, There's definitely much nicer receivers out there, but for the price point coupled with a coax FM antenna input, I'm very pleased overall with this unit.

Bluetooth was easy to set up. Sound is crisp and clean. Simple and easy to use.
