Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Get everything you need to set up your surround sound home theater system with the powerful Yamaha DVX-C310SL, which offers 900 watts of total power output and a multi-format, 5-disc DVD player/receiver. It comes with a full set of stylishly compact 5.1-channel surround sound speakers, including a subwoofer, center channel, two fronts, and two surrounds. The DVD player is compatible with DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW, and SACD as well as files encoded as MP3, WMA, JPEG and DivX. It also includes an HDMI output for pure digital high-definition video and multi-channel surround sound via a single cable, as well as upscaling of DVD video to near HD quality.

The Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology (Advanced YST) feature is a unique system in which the speaker and amplifier work together to cancel out impedance so the speaker unit has a perfectly linear motion. Advanced YST helps to ensure the highest levels of sound pressure and overall performance.

The subwoofer features a 6.5-inch woofer, while the center channel offers dual 2.5-inch woofers and a 1-inch Piezo tweeter. The surround speakers also have single 2.5-inch woofers and a 1-inch Piezo tweeter. Other features include multi-angle subtitle DVD playback, picture zoom, eight surround programs (four movie, four music), and a front-panel mini-jack for connecting a portable audio device.

The optional YDS-10 Universal Dock lets you connect your iPod to this receiver. You can listen to your iPod music and watch iPod images and movies on your monitor via the receiver. You can also operate your iPod via the receiver's remote unit with the On-Screen Display and charge your iPod. It's also XM Satellite Radio ready with the addition of the XM Connect and Play digital antenna accessory (sold separately, XM subscription required).

Tech Talk
DivX is a compressed digital video format (like MP3) that's based on the MPEG-4 video compression standard. It can reduce the video from a DVD (MPEG-2) to around 10 percent of its original size while still retaining good video and audio quality, enabling you to store several two-hour length movies on burned DVD media.

HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. It provides up to a 5 GB per second bandwidth for transmitting pure digital video and audio signals with no degradation in the transfer. It can carry up to eight discrete audio channels, making it compatible with 7.1-channel surround sound systems. Signals are encrypted with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent recording. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with most DVI connections.

What's in the Box
DVD/receiver, subwoofer, center channel speaker, two front speakers, two surround speakers, remote control (with batteries), FM and AM antennas, speaker cables, system control cable, printed operating instructions

This review is from: Yamaha DVX-C310SL 6.1-Channel 900W Home Theater System (Electronics)

Unbelievable sound, no static when you crank it up! I set it up in 15 minutes but used heavier speaker wire than Yamaha supplied. This unit does everything as advertised. I skipped the iPod adaptor from Yamaha and bought a simple $10 audio to stereo wire and my iPod is hooked up although it is digital to analog (sounded great to me but perhaps using the more expensive iPod hook-up, you could get more true digital sound). There are a few ways to hook up an iPod on this unit. The sub-woofer has it's own power source and you can tell when you crank. Burn a cd with a couple hundred mp3s and it works fine! It even displays the song name on the DVD player! The DVD player is top notch and quick. The sound was perfect when I played a movie unlike other systems I've heard, voices are as clear as a bell at any volume. My five year old Sony HT makes me feel like I'm going deaf as it is hard to hear voices. There were about 4 or 5 choices for the "sound effect" and they are adequate. It has an on-screen menu if you want to see your music selection on your TV. Another thing I Iiked was the weight of each element. The little speakers are relatively heavy and the subwoofer-pretty heavy. I like to see this, I don't think quality components should be light. Personally, I'm not a big music afficianado but I think you'd be nuts to buy an expensive home theater system. I can't imagine the sound getting better and this takes up relatively little space.
Only took Amazon a few days to get it to me and I saved a bunch of cash too (no tax, free shipping yeehaa!)
I love this home theater!
