Yamaha R-S202BL Stereo Bluetooth Receiver

This amp is doing justice to the money invested. Pros , good base and treble, good looks and easy operation. Easy to setup I paired it with Polk Audio Reserver R200. Either those speakers or the amp could not do the max volume for drum beats. I compared this amp with SMSL A300. SMSL has punchy beat and drive R200 at high volume very well but could not deliver low bass in low volume. Yamaha could deliver base at low volume but could not deliver it at volume above 75. The max is 100. SMSL has sub out yamaha does not. My input source is Bluetooth. Smooth connectivity with both yamaha and SMSL Initially the unit heated up with play at high volume ... there is a log of vent (slits open from top and both the sides). SMSL is very compact and is chip based amp. This one is transistor based amp (looks from the slits) .... Too costly a equipment. Philips Audio SPA9125 2.0CH 130W priced at 22k probably would be much better choice in Indian scenario compared to this costly setup of amp plus speakers. I am waiting for my cheaper Cambridge audio speaker set and then will have another round of review. :)

Simple and sweet ,bluetooth work on iphone as magic, basically not for who love punch and vibrant sound , belive me its same as normal delhi amplifier with yamaha name thats all. its not good in audio output . my rxv 450 10 times better .

A simple stereo amplifier with a very smooth sound. Transparent airy highs and tight well defined lows. Pros: Great sound quality. Built with discrete components (none of that IC chip nonsense) Cons: SBC only (no Aptx). Input sensitivity is low (500 mV whereas most other amps are 200 mV at 47KOhms)

Good product but in operation time it makes abnormal sound after every half an hour. The sound came out from inside of the unit. And most importantly company does not support any warranty if it is purchased from online

Brilliant 2 channel amp. Purchased as a replacement for an older sonodyne uranus II amp that was stolen. This is for people who enjoy music and not for "Surround Sound" etc. That it has Bluetooth and a built-in FM radio is an added bonus. Overall, highly recommended if you need a good all round amp at a reasonable price.

nothing special in this model. just like 4 mosfet quality sound . bass is very very low trable is very very low midrange is very very poor. i am using yamaha ns 8390 pair in this amplifier. Even my sony xo n255s is best performance even this model . i personaly suggest dont wast money. only both (amplifier and tower speaker ) are big size and brand but nothing special Yamaha making fool to customer here. i think both (speaker and amplifier) is like local brands quality . midrange quality is very very poor .No usb no sound effects no extra subwoofer connectar . भूल कर भी कोई गलती से मत ले लेना दोस्तो बाद में पछताओगे return पालिसी भी बकवास है सेलर की । आश्चर्य तो ये है की amazon जेसो के यहाँ भी ऐसा हो रहा है ।

Excellent without any frills. Just the functions one needs. The speaker selection option is smart. Yet to explore all functions though. Had a old Kenwood system since 1990 and just replaced that and very happy about it.

The Yamaha has attractive features like Bluetooth, which is extremely handy playing my playlists from the iPhone. The sound mixing and filtering is great even with my 35 year old Boston Acoustic speakers.

This item is a 120volt model not suitable for the english market

Got this for my classroom. Not an audiophile by any means and certainly didn't need the latest greatest features (along with accompanying higher cost). For what I paid, $150 on Amazon before sales tax, I'm very impressed with what it offers and can do. Installed it in my classroom today. Connected it to a pair of old Sony bookshelf speakers which I got around 10 years ago. Specifically got this receiver because the old Onkyo I previously used (still working even though it must be from 1980s or 1990s) was unable to handle audio input from my classroom desktop computer even though I had gotten an adapter cable that had a 3.5mm jack on one end and two RCA (red/white) plugs on the other end. Wanted to use the bookshelf speakers instead of the weak external speakers provided by school for whenever I would need audio during a lesson, video clips, etc. to be heard by students at the back of the classroom. After setting up this receiver and putting it through its paces, I am pleased with its overall performance. I connected my classroom's desktop computer to the receiver using that adapter cable previously mentioned and this receiver had no problems at all picking up the signal and transmitting it to my bookshelf speakers. Tried out the radio tuner and was pleasantly surprised by both how clear the sound quality is for many local stations (compared to the Onkyo I had previously been using) and for even decoding signals from distant stations (I'm using a spare cheap external FM radio antenna, not the wire antenna provided with this unit) which the previous Onkyo receiver (and even my car radio) can't pick up clearly if at all. The Bluetooth feature is nice. There's a cheaper version of this receiver without the Bluetooth feature but I decided that the extra $20 was worth it for providing additional possibilities. Had no problem pairing this receiver with my Nexus 6 smartphone. No problems streaming music from my smartphone to the receiver. So far, I've only encountered one problem. I thought about docking one star off for this problem but in the end decided not to do so because the overall functionality and performance of the receiver isn't significantly impaired by this issue. When I first powered up this receiver (after making all the necessary audio connections to speakers and computer), I thought I might have had a defective unit because I couldn't hear anything even though the volume was clearly set at 40 (out of a 0-99 scale). After some trial and error, what I discovered was that any setting below 45 is practically impossible to hear coming out of my speakers. Once I cranked up the volume to 50-55, sound was clearly discernible to anyone near the speakers. From 55-65, sound fills up my entire classroom nicely. From 65-75, it gets loud in my classroom and when I walked out into the hallway (and then continued walking down the hallway) I could hear the sound clearly from several classrooms away. I can only imagine how loud it might be (and how far the sound may travel) if I cranked up the volume beyond 75. So, for all intents and practical purposes, the sound on this unit works but I'm essentially navigating between 45 (quiet) and 80 (really loud) instead of the full range of 0-99. Like I said, functionality and performance doesn't seem to be impaired by this discrepancy, so I ultimately decided not to knock off a star. Not sure if this issue is particular to the specific unit I received or a recurring pattern in more units beyond mine. Not a deal-breaker and not worth going through the hassle of a merchandise exchange since it gets the job done. Looking forward to seeing how well this unit works out for this coming school year (and hopefully for many years beyond). If anything should arise to warrant editing this review, then I'll update as needed.

Wow un excelente sonido... Aún así sin mover los tonos de bajos y agudos se escucha con suficiente bajo y claro Y aunque no tenga como mover las frecuencias medias es un tono excepcionalmente balanceado

This a late review since I bought this amp couple years back to control my poolside room speakers and poolside speakers but never finished installed everything till a month ago. I was shopping around for a good cheap amp that can control 2 sets of speakers with Bluetooth. Read many reviews and this was very well regarded so I picked it up on black Friday for $150 bucks. I was really happy with the amp, looks really good, its on a the light side (which it waa kinda expected at this price point). You get 3 line in inputs, 1 cd and 1 phone (not preamped) so you are covered with any device you may want to connect. Tuner radio and Bluetooth works really well, audio resolution is really clear and loud. It includes a remote controller that give you complete control over all the functions of the amp. Now soundwise, im pairing it with 2 sets of polk audio atrium 8 SDI, which are a perfect match for this amp and it shows. The sound is lively and fuller, I did noted some excessive bass on higher volume but I thinks its mostly on the position and rather closed environment, but with a easy turn on the bass control you can fix that (did i mention it have tone controls too?). I totally recommend this as a starter amp if you are on a budget or as a second amp or for an area that you dont use as much like a garden or barbecue area set with a good set of speakers. Check the video if you want some more detail around the sound.
