Description
The Yamaha R-S202D is a Hi-Fi amplifier that combines radio reception with stereo amplification. It follows in the line of Yamaha's amplifier tuners, designed to combine in a single unit the listening of connected sources and the reception of radio stations.
The unit features Bluetooth® compatibility, allowing music to be streamed wirelessly from a smartphone, tablet or computer, without cables or an additional physical source. It also includes a DAB/DAB+ tuner, the digital radio standard offering more stable reception and a greater number of stations than traditional FM radio.
In terms of design, the R-S202D carries Yamaha's visual signature: a sleek, understated front panel, in keeping with the brand's Hi-Fi amplifiers, designed to blend discreetly into a living room or lounge.
This model is aimed at a user looking for a system that is simple to set up, capable of playing both Bluetooth streams and digital radio, without the need for multiple peripheral devices. It suits a living-room Hi-Fi setup geared towards everyday listening rather than high-end audiophile use.
What to check before buying used
The volume potentiometer is worth testing by rotating it slowly, listening out for any crackling that would indicate oxidation; the power supply capacitors, which are prone to ageing, can affect the sound's consistency over time. DAB/DAB+ and FM reception should be checked under real conditions, with an aerial connected, as should Bluetooth pairing with a recent device. Checking the speaker terminals and source selection at the rear helps rule out any loose connections.
