Title: Sound quality blew me away
Review: I don’t normally write reviews for products, but this sound system has really blown me away and I feel compelled to share my experience. I am so far very pleased with this product.Yamaha is a reputable brand and right off the bat you can trust that you’re receiving a solid product for the price you pay. It’s a costly setup but quality from this brand is on par with what you pay.Setup was easy enough. It took about an hour and a half to get everything unboxed, wires ran, speakers set, etc. The AV receiver is bigger than I thought it would be! Due to the way my room is set up, I anticipated not having enough speaker wire provided in the box and had to use a bit more. Amazon has cheap 16 gauge wire that you can pick up if you have to do some longer runs.Firing up the unit and testing each speaker was easy enough.The magic really happened when I plugged in my devices and started testing different songs, movies, and video games. I’m amazed by the crisp sounds and deep bass this unit can produce. It really feels like you’re at the movies! The surround sound helps video games feel atmospheric. With all the different presets available, you can customize the audio to fit the medium you’re playing.What really blew me away was the subwoofer. I can feel the bass in my chest and it is such a cool feeling. Bass notes are deep and rich, and explosions rattle the room, placing you directly in the action.If you’re looking for a true home cinema setup, look no further than this Yamaha sound system. Don’t cut corners with a sound bar if you can afford it. This thing is the real deal!

Title: Excellent Sound Quality
Review: This home theater system was even more than I expected. Although there are many various sound settings that I may never use the overall operation of the system is quite simple. This is an upgrade from a less powerful system and the difference is day and night. The speakers sound fantastic, but they appear to be of less quality than the amplifier/receiver unit. I have had no problems with vibrations and like I said, they sound solid. The system is working great with the HDMI connection to the TV. It fires up on que and delivers without ever cutting out or acting stupid like my old setup. The sub-woofer is a real treat. It is self-powered and adds a dimension to the sound that was lacking before. I would highly recommend this over any less powered systems or sound bars.

Title: Amazing value for the money
Review: Very easy to setup… The microphone makes adjusting the sound balance completely idiot proof. The audio is crisp and that sub hits hard 😳 I got this on sale for $400, and there's no setup that could even come close on bang for buck. You could spend 10x as much and have a system that only the snootiest of audiophiles could tell the difference from this one.

Title: Best in class home theater with robust AVR and SubWoofer
Review: Great product which brings full value to the money.Setup – EasyAVR : Great with plenty of options to connect to TV, Bluetooth, OFC, USB, HDMI…etcSound : Plenty of sound options to customize from. Love thisOverall a great product for an amazing sound quality.Cons : The speakers (not the subwoofer) are really light weight and the fabric cover looks cheap and not made with a good quality. They look to let the dust seep in which I believe would shorten the life of these speakers.

Title: Easy setup
Review: Love this system it replaced an old RCA system. I am well pleased with the sound and easy setup. I would recommend you buy more speaker wire 60 foot doesn't go far.

Title: A great basic home theater kit with Dolby Digital Plus support
Review: 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.

Title: Good buy
Review: I would recommend this product to anyone. Sound quality is awesome and that is at any volume. It could just about go anywhere because of the size. Very nice product for the the cost.

Review: Yamaha para mí siempre ha sido una marca para profesionales y aunque este es un equipo diseñado para casa, esperaba mucho más.Soy fan del buen audio y en algo en lo que invierto bastante bien pues parte de mi trabajo es montar audio e iluminación a cualquier escala; sin embargo debo decir que me costó aceptar que mi decisión con esta compra pudo haber sido mejor.Para no hacer el cuento largo, probé este equipo con más de 8 estilos de música, haciendo diferentes combinaciones de procedencia de audio y el resultado lamentablemente… fue el mismo.DISTORSIÓN y saturación lo que jamás pensé que podría pasarle a un equipo como este.Todo se ve de excelente calidad pero cuando puse a prueba el audio, en lugar de decir “sin duda esto es Yamaha”; dije “bueno, es un equipo de casa y no puedo pedirle más”.OJO: no es un problema de volumen; es calidad de audio al aumentar el volumen. Para una consola con esta tecnología y con parlantes hechos a la medida para la potencia del generador… no me lo esperaba.En fin, mal sabor de boca. No suena mal pero por 1,300 dólares sin duda esperaba más. Ya sé porque el sistema BOSE vale 3,000.Por qué no lo devuelvo? Estaba tan confiado que ya había comprado bases para todo, había hecho repisas con medida, instalé todo en las paredes antes de probar. En fin, mala decisión y me quedo con un equipo para subirle volumen cuando vea películas y poner música de fondo cuando tenga una reunión en mi casa. Espero les sea útil.
