5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome system for the money, not one complaint.
I bought this system immediately after I purchased a 55" tv because I thought it would be a crime to own such a television and use build in sound (although I said I was buying it because I needed the progressive scan DVD player...) and it has been everything I could have asked for.

When I went shopping for a system, the main item I was looking for was a compact...

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid the Yahama DVD players and speakers.
This is the third Yahama Home Theater In A Box (HTIB) system I have had since June of 2001. The only reason why is the returns I had to make at Best Buy. Each time, the DVD player has failed and I have had to replace the entire system because each model was no longer carried. And we all know what a pain it is to disconnect the old and re-wire the new.

This review is from: Yamaha YHT-740 Home Theater in a Box with 5-Disc DVD Player (Electronics)
This is the third Yahama Home Theater In A Box (HTIB) system I have had since June of 2001. The only reason why is the returns I had to make at Best Buy. Each time, the DVD player has failed and I have had to replace the entire system because each model was no longer carried. And we all know what a pain it is to disconnect the old and re-wire the new. Each time the DVD player failed. With this system, the speaker quality is poor, and after a few months, sounded tinny and crackly. The speakers can't handle the power of the amp, especially the front center channel. At times, during movies, you can't understand the spoken languages because of the poor quality. For the money, one would think you would get better quality. The sub-woofer is ok, the receiver is very good. Set-up manuals need some work. Customer service email is very good. Got to return it again. Glad I purchased the extra warranty with Best Buy or these systems would have cost me a bundle!! Definitely going with another brand.

This review is from: Yamaha YHT-740 Home Theater in a Box with 5-Disc DVD Player (Electronics)
I bought this system immediately after I purchased a 55" tv because I thought it would be a crime to own such a television and use build in sound (although I said I was buying it because I needed the progressive scan DVD player...) and it has been everything I could have asked for.

When I went shopping for a system, the main item I was looking for was a compact speaker design, because I wanted to mount them on my walls. This choice eliminated most of the Polk equipment and a few other manufacturers. I narrowed it down to this system and a Sony system. The feature that won me over was the separate receiver, which made for a nicer integration into a home theater system, and gave the system a much longer shelf life, since you will be able to replace the DVD player without having to buy a new system.

The YHT-740 was introduced more then a year ago, but it is still a solid choice today. With 6.1 DTS ES it is still ahead of today's 5.1 choices, and with the included 5 Disc DVD (which sells alone for almost $200) this is just a great deal.
