Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!]

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

Very basic, buts works for my Zone 2. The beauty is the bluetooth. I can now use my phone for music control.

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

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

Helped my folks get this and set it up for music in and outside of their house. Works great and setup was easy. They love the Bluetooth function

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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.
