Yamaha not only has 125 years of tradition in instrument making but also extensive experience in the development and manufacturing of excellent HiFi components. In designing the R-S202D, Yamaha has leveraged this vast expertise. At the core of its design 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, making it a leader in its class in terms of performance, but also in sound quality due to its optimized circuits with 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.
