Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 love the simplicity/ease of the buttons. I use it in my rear pool area and it’s Bluetoothed to my outdoor speakers

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.

Love the sound that comes out of this Yamaha. Stereo is on all day.

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.

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

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!]

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Awesome receiver! My turntable and cd player were connected in no time. Sounds great with my Klipsch speakers.

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

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.

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