Yamaha not only looks back on 125 years of tradition in instrument making but also on many years of experience in the development and manufacturing of excellent HiFi components. In designing the R-S202D, Yamaha has leveraged this extensive expertise. At the core is the "Natural Sound" philosophy, which aims for the most faithful reproduction of music possible. Thanks to the meticulous work of Yamaha engineers, from circuit design to sound generation, the amplifier delivers outstanding sound quality despite being positioned as an entry-level model.

The R-S202D stands out not only with a power output of 2x 100 W, placing it at the top of its class in terms of performance, but also in sound quality thanks to its optimized circuits for short signal paths. The transformers, positioned close to the amplifier circuits, minimize power losses while simultaneously increasing the maximum reserves for high-volume playback. Signal processing and power supply are grounded at the same point to avoid interference and achieve a higher signal-to-noise ratio. The result is a transparent and brilliant sound.

DAB and DAB+ are Digital Audio Broadcasting formats that offer a wide selection of radio stations in the best sound quality. Another advantage is the automatic station search. All station information is displayed on the screen. A total of 40 DAB+ stations can be stored.
