Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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!!!!!

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

Unpacking and setup was effortless. FM stations come in clear and AM performance is better than I expected. It is a attractive unit with a clean design. An easy to use component that's easy on the eyes and sounds good.

Bought this unit to replace a 10 year old Sony two channel receiver. I thought the Sony was nice but this Yamaha is amazing! Sounds great, remote is really nice, and bluetooth capability so I can stream from my phone. I just love it and it is hard to believe that this unit was so cheap, Quality compares to a $500 unit easily at one third the cost.

It’s a great amp and makes great quality sound would highly recommend!

Nice basic receiver. I am using it to play music on my deck, via bluetooth from my android phone. I am also using the RCA out jacks to connect to a second non bluetooth receiver, so I can double the power available by having 2 amps driving 2 pairs of speakers. (I like it loud!!) Very happy with unit, especially for the price

Great power and features. I use the bluetooth a lot and this is my garage stereo. 200 Watts rocks the garage. Easy to use remote and how to add stations great FM antenna too.

I got this for my garage sound system and it sounds amazing

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

Sometimes you don't need a 5.1, 9.2 etc. AVR. This was a perfect companion to a pair of new ELAC B6.2 bookshelf speakers. The receiver delivers more than enough clean power and the Bluetooth feature works perfectly and expands my access to more listening sources. I have always had awesome experiences with Yamaha from the high end and now down to the low end of their product lines. Great value!

We have a group of speakers that are driven by this receiver, and it is working well to give music throughout our whole house. The bluetooth capability works well to allow us to get HD2 music sources broadcast

I am using this for my backyard which is about a 1/4 acre of coverage. Connected to this I have a pair 200 watts Definitive Technology AW6500 and a powered 12" BIC PL- 200 II subwoofer. Together it is more than enough to fill the whole place with great clean sound. I listen to all music and it performs good as far as Bluetooth goes too.

Hard to determine the actual sound quality with the speakers I have but for the price you can't go wrong. I have heard Yamaha systems in the past and was impressed. I wanted a receiver for the garage and didn't want to spend almost four times the cost for a Marantz low end receiver. East to set up. And for the price you can't beat it.

Had to replace my old 2 ch harmon kardon workhorse and the yamaha 2 ch was the best unit available for the money. Only downside is I need a phono pre-amp for my Dual turntable. Oh well, can't have everything. 4 stars.

This is great connects bluetooth easily and the feature are somewhat basic. But I was not looking for a high end receiver for particular room in home.

Simplistic usage with basic controls and good for the price.

This unit has been an excellent choice. It performs as expected, powers the new speakers and turntable with no flutter or distortion and is easy to set up. The Bluetooth is a breeze to setup and performs well with all my devices. I would recommend this unit for anyone who wants an economical unit with high performance.
