Heads up to anyone considering this product. The receiver/dvd player and subwoofer are connected via a proprietary cable, which means that one is useless without the other. Also, the subwoofer (not the receiver) supplies audio power for all channels. If the subwoofer dies, then you lose power to the satellites, too. And, because of the proprietary cabling, if either the subwoofer or receiver die, you can't replace them with another model, nor can you replace either with the the same model (Yamaha does not sell the receiver or the subwoofer except as part of this package). The subwoofer on mine was DOA and I was able to return it to the seller. If it happens to you after the warranty expires, good luck.

Note the previous reviewer comments, they are relevant as well. I purchased this HTIB at a very attractive price relative to the sound quality. I have not been disappointed. The speaker/ subwoofer/ amp setup do sound very good, clean and natural for a package at this price. What is now making it hard to use is the receiver panel readout. It was not very bright to begin with and now is virtually invisible. That means no feedback as to what is function, station, etc. I control by the remote and know pretty much what I need so it is still functional and great sounding. Since the problem is with the receiver however, there is no way to replace without also purchasing a new subwoofer. The satellite speakers can be used with any Home Theatre receiver. Be sure to request a replacement if the panel readout seems dim when you install - it will only get worse. If the readout is bright, chances are there is no flaw in your unit.
