  • Our take on the Yamaha R-S202BL Natural Sound Stereo Receiver

    The Yamaha R-S202BL is a two-channel stereo receiver rated at 100W per channel into 8 ohms, with Bluetooth streaming, FM/AM tuning with 40 presets, and a remote. It has four RCA line inputs, two pairs of speaker terminals, bass, treble and balance controls, and a 1/4-inch headphone jack. It suits people building a simple hi-fi or TV setup who want more power than most budget receivers offer. It has no phono preamp, no subwoofer output and no DAC, so a turntable needs its own preamp and digital sources need their own converter. Owners generally find it clean and easy to use, though it is a basic unit next to network-equipped rivals.

    About the Yamaha R-S202BL Natural Sound Stereo Receiver

    The Yamaha R-S202BL is a stereo receiver that delivers 100W per channel at 8 ohms. It has Bluetooth for wireless playback and an FM/AM tuner with 40 station presets.

    It has four RCA line-level inputs. A turntable can connect to one of these inputs, but the receiver has no phono preamp, so the turntable needs a built-in preamp or a separate one. Onboard bass, treble and balance controls let you adjust the sound, and a headphone output is included.

    Two pairs of speaker terminals support stereo speakers. A remote control and an antenna come in the box.

    Questions and answers

    Can I connect a turntable directly?
    Only if the turntable has a built-in phono preamp. The receiver has no phono stage, so a plain turntable needs an external preamp into one of the RCA line inputs.
    Does it have a subwoofer output?
    No. There is no dedicated subwoofer output, so a powered sub would need to be fed from the speaker-level outputs or another arrangement.
    How many speakers can it drive?
    It has two stereo pairs of speaker terminals and is rated at 8 ohms. Running two pairs at once puts more load on the amplifier.
    Does it support Wi-Fi or streaming apps?
    No. Wireless input is Bluetooth only, with no Wi-Fi, network streaming or control app.
    What comes in the box?
    The receiver, a remote control and an antenna for radio reception.
    Is it good for TV sound?
    It can take an analog line-level feed from a TV, but it has no HDMI or optical input, so a TV with only digital outputs needs a converter.
