Question 1

Does this have an MP3 or AUX input?   Thanks for your time.

Accepted Answer

On the front panel, there are jacks that allow you to connect portable audio and video equipment to the receiver.

One jack is for stereo audio using an 1/8" stereo plug.  I haven't tried to use it with my MP3 player.  I will if this will help you.

There are three RCA-type jacks for connecting the audio and video from a video camera.  It might be possible to connect and MP3 player through the pair of RCA audio jacks.

Question 2

Hello, I not so recently got a hold 6 speakers and a sub, they need to be wired into something. Would this work to connect those things as well as hook up into my PC? And how would I get it to play from my PC? Thank you.

Daniel,

The Yamaha R-S201 is a STEREO receiver and amplifier.  It is NOT a surround-sound amplifier (as in, for example, 5.1).  Therefore, it can only power a left and right set of speakers as set "A".  It can power a second set of left and right speakers (as set "B") but the sound coming out will be the same as the sound coming from set "A."  Either the A speakers can be turned on, or the B speakers, or both A and B.

There is no output for a sub-woofer (although an AMPLIFIED sub-woofer could be connected up to either A or B speaker output terminals).

In other words, this is the wrong receiver/amplifier for a surround-sound installation.

Stereo audio from the headphone jack of your PC can be fed into the TAPE DECK or CD PLAYER input jacks of the R-S201.

Question 3

Is it equipped to handle a subwoofer?

Accepted Answer

I am not using a sub-woofer with this amplifier so I cannot give a practical answer based on experience.

I don't believe there is an output connection with which to drive a sub-woofer, only outputs for two sets of full-range speaker stereo pairs.

Question 4

How this work with a turntable and vinyl? I have an Ion turntable.

Accepted Answer

There is no phonograph preamplifier on this stereo so if your turntable does not have one built in you will need to buy one in order to listen to your records.

Question 5

can this tune HD radio ?

Accepted Answer

Not sure, It should as long as your HD stations are local,

check out: wiki

As for the Receiver It performs perfectly out of the box with an awesome remote to boot, thought that I might have to get an amp too but hooked thru a 12" powered sub-woofer my neighbors now hate my guts.

Question 6

Does it have a digatil in jack?

Accepted Answer

I do not believe so. You can view the back of the receiver on Yamaha's website

Question 7

is the internal fuse replaceable?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  It's not a normal glass type, though - it's ceramic.

Question 8

February 18, 2015

Dear Audio Expert:
      I am definitely going to purchase your Yamaha Amp Receiver R-S201, since the price & performance history fit my taste and budget. 
      However, from the picture and description of the device, it is not at all clear to me if one can play a Teac CD P650 component through the R-S201. Will the Yamaha R-C201 let you play a CD receiver through it? 
      There is NO auxiliary button on the front panel of the R-S201 to push in, thus accepting the CD player input. 
        
     Thank you for this service.
