Our take on the Yamaha R-S202 2-Channel Home Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth

The Yamaha R-S202 is a two-channel stereo receiver built for simple, wired hi-fi with a Bluetooth input added for phone and tablet streaming. It drives two pairs of speakers, has 40 FM/AM presets, a headphone jack and a plain remote, and it skips HDMI, network streaming and room correction. It suits people building a first turntable, CD or streaming setup on a budget who want clean stereo sound rather than home-theater features. Against AV receivers and network amps it is leaner on inputs and connectivity, but owners rate it for sound quality and ease of use.

What reviewers say

  • 4.1 / 51,515 ratings

Owners generally like the sound and the no-frills operation, and many use it as the heart of a budget stereo or turntable system. Complaints center on the limited inputs and on Bluetooth being the only wireless option.

  • InputsCriticisedBuyers miss optical, coaxial and HDMI inputs and a phono stage for turntables.
  • BluetoothMixedStreaming from a phone works easily, but some find the wireless sound short of wired sources.
  • SetupPraisedOwners say wiring speakers and tuning stations is quick and the controls are simple.

About the Yamaha R-S202 2-Channel Home Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth

The Yamaha R-S202 is a 2-channel stereo receiver with Bluetooth. It plays music from a smartphone or other device, including streaming services, and it has an FM/AM tuner. Its design aims to reproduce music as it would sound live.

It delivers 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 40 Hz-20 kHz, 0.2% THD). The power transformer sits near the amp circuit to reduce power loss and improve peak power supply capacity. The signal ground and power supply ground connect at one point to raise the S/N ratio. The signal routes are kept short and the circuit layout is optimized.

The tuner stores up to 40 FM and AM stations. You can select them from the receiver or the remote, and Auto Preset finds and registers FM stations automatically. Two sets of speakers can be connected, and the speaker selector switches between A, B or A+B. The front panel has a brushed finish and a headphone terminal.

Questions and answers

Does the Yamaha R-S202 have a phono input for a turntable?
No. A turntable needs its own built-in phono preamp or a separate one before it connects to an aux input.
Can it power two pairs of speakers at once?
Yes. It has a speaker selector and terminals for two systems, so you can run two pairs, though running both at once lowers the power available to each.
Does it support Wi-Fi or streaming apps?
No. Wireless is Bluetooth only; there is no Wi-Fi, AirPlay, Spotify Connect or control app.
Does it have HDMI or optical inputs for a TV?
No. It has analog inputs only, so a TV would need to connect through its headphone or analog output.
What is in the box?
The receiver, a remote control, an FM antenna and an AM loop antenna, plus the documentation.
Is it good for a first stereo system?
Yes, if you want simple two-channel sound with Bluetooth and do not need digital inputs or network streaming.
