Yamaha Audio 2021 Yamaha R-S202 Stereo Receiver with Built-In Bluetooth Connectivity, Up to 100W Per Channel at 8 Ohms, 4 x RCA-In, 1 x RCA-Out, Front Panel 1/4'' Headphone Output (Black) (Renewed)

good stereo for a good price

Operates as described

This amp has the ability to provide and easy 100 watts per channel. Looks nice, no frills but nice chills when it pumps up the volume! This volume is a little bit to get use to but this is my only con is you have to keep turning and turning to get the sound where you want it. I like the old style when you turned it a tad to get volume. The sound is robust. Bluetooth is a nice touch when streaming your music wirelessly for long hours of play back with Pandora, YouTube etc. Radio is strong and AM is good. The display is easy read and you can lower the brightness too. I use an old Zen M 60GB to provide the tunes to this beast. I bought this with the Amazon Renewed listing and am very much impressed for this unit looked completely new and untouched. I am using this to power some vintage Fisher speakers from the late 60's which this does perfectly. The new 15 inch woofers installed really make a difference but the rest of the cabinets (excluding new cloth on the grills, poly fil, seals etc.) sound amazing after all these years. My dad had these in his garage which he passed away on July, 26, 2019 so this was for him in his memory. A big thanks to Amazon and Yamaha for the power to run them again.

First, I am an audiophile and have a $25K audio/video setup in our theater room. I bought this receiver for our bedroom when the old AVR we were using finally died. The Yamaha R-S202BL is a great 100w, no frills, stereo receiver. Beautiful, pure stereo music reproduction with no surround decoders/sound field programs to ruin audio reproduction. Old school Treble, Bass, and Balance controls on the remote (love it!). Bluetooth connected to our phones in seconds and works flawlessly. Used an inexpensice DAC ($20) to connect TV's digital optical output to Line 1 inputs in the R-N202. It works perfectly and TV sound is great. Also use the receivers speaker B outputs to connect to a small 10" subwoofer. That also works just fine. I can't say enough good things about this little receiver. Highly recommended!

FAST!! shipping, complete, well packaged, excellent price for Yamaha durability. Easy hook-up, normal sized manual (thanks again!). Smile, intuitive controls. Base and treble by front-panel pots. I would have paid extra for a lighted remote.

It's Yamaha. Basic receiver but still great. BT streams smoothly and the FM Tuner is great. Tried the headphones and that is excellent sound. Tested a few different pairs of speakers from Klipsch Reference series to basic bookshelf and they sounded fine in each respectful category. Received the refurbished but the funny thing is every bag and seal was sealed like the factory. No dust inside or out, no fingerprints or any indications of use or wear. I tend to think it is a warehouse overstock by the looks of it. Great deal at the currently reduced price.

A little hesitant on buying a refurbished unit but very happy with the price. It was in brand new condition also. Very impressed. Sounds awesome

It could use a loudness control.Can an equalizer be hooked up to this? If so, how? The amp and preamp sections are not separated.
