Yamaha Audio YHT-4950U 4K Ultra HD 5.1-Channel Home Theater System with Bluetooth, black

Everything I wanted definitely a must buy

Great system. Excellent quality and value. Moderately powerful. Ive owned a few home theaters that claimed 1000 watts but this one sounded the best. Bluetooth works great and it was easy to set up. Cable lengths could be a little longer but its not a deal breaker depending on how you plan to set up your speakers.

I love this stereo. The sub woofer is loud. You can turn it louder than I need it. The system sounds really good. I'm using it in my game Room. I just have a TV and my Fluance turn table attached to it. I also used the Bluetooth feature to listen to my music. I was using a sound bar and subwoofer previously. This os way better. I have the speakers spread out and bought some brackets for the back speakers. I'm happy with this unit. It's exactly what I wanted. I'm able to hide most of the wires for the speakers. I think the wires might be the only thing that someone wouldn't want. It's not a problem for me. It took me about an hour to set it up.

This is a decent unit for the price point. The surround speakers are not as good of a quality as I had on my older Sony unit but they do the job. It did take me a considerable amount of time and reading before I actually got it to sound correct. I don't recommend using the microphone to do the automatic set up. It really made the system sound pretty yucky. I finally figured out how to remove the settings it did and set the unit manually and now the music sounds better. Make sure to take advantage of the HDMI ARC setup and use a cable that is designed for ARC. Just prepare to do a lot of reading of the manual(which you have to download from Yamaha) to understand all of the functions that the unit is capable of.

The media could not be loaded. I live in a small apartment, and I wanted something with good sound and, primarily, a solid receiver to hook up my upgraded center channel speaker. If you're in a small space, I wouldn't recommend getting such a large center channel speaker like I did, as the system already comes with a good one. The receiver has been great and doesn't overheat like the ones I've seen at Best Buy. It works perfectly with HDMI ARC and also supports digital optical. Unfortunately, it creates a noticeable lag with Xbox, so I wouldn't recommend using it for gaming. However, if you connect the HDMI to the TV and plug the Xbox directly into the TV, you won't experience any lag. Overall, it's an awesome system for the price. I even checked on Prime Day, and it didn't go on sale for any less. At $400, it's a fair deal, and if you find it cheaper, it's a steal.

I recently purchased this kit to replace a problematic LG BH9431PW. The LG claimed to support Dolby Digital Plus, but would not decode the new encoding from the Roku Amazon or Netflix channels. The Yamaha receiver in this kit handles the DD+ output from the Amazon and Netflix channels wonderfully.In case anyone is wondering, the AV Receiver included in this kit is the RX-V385.Some highlights so far compared to the previous LG BH9431PW:* Full Dolby Digital Plus support!Woohoo! I am now getting Dolby 5.1 output from my Amazon and Netflix channels. This was the number one reason for purchasing this unit.* The receiver allows direct navigation to any of the inputs:We use a Logitech Harmony 650 universal remote to map all of our devices, and the LG forced it to cycle through the inputs. This meant that, to go from our ROKU on HDMI2 to the DVR on HDMI1, the remote had to cycle forward through the other inputs like the optical, tuner, USB, and bluetooth to get back to HDMI1. This not only meant waiting a long time with the remote pointed at the equipment, but also tended to be prone to failure if the bluetooth scanning took too long. With the new Yamaha receiver, the remote is able to quickly switch between HDMI2 and HDMI3 with no delays or errors.* The speakers use standard wire connectors.The LG had a weird, proprietary connection plug and wiring scheme, so the old speakers could not be easily re-used with a different receiver (which is what forced me into buying a complete home theater system vs just upgrading the receiver).* The auto-speaker setup was nice.The unit comes with a microphone that can be hooked up to help balance the speakers for your particular viewing arrangement. The setup program not only validates the functionality and wiring of the speakers, but will calculate the relative distances from the speaker to the viewing location to help balance the volumes of each speaker.* Volume trimming between inputs.Related to speaker balancing, the unit will also let you decrease/increase the volume a bit between inputs. This is a handy feature since our DVR volume tended to be a bit softer than our ROKU, and the tuner would blow us out of the room. We now have the relative volume between the inputs a little closer to each other.* Powered Subwoofer.The subwoofer seems to have a bit more punch than my previous setup.Things that could be better:* Wireless surround connection.My old LG surround speaker setup had a wireless connection between the main unit and a satellite surround base unit. The new Yamaha forced me to run long speaker cables to the back of the room. A pain, but at least I no longer have to run power back to that location.
