4.0 out of 5 stars Great Home Theater in a Box, October 1, 2003
By 
This review is from: Yamaha YHT-900 6.1-Channel DVD-Changer Home Theater System (Electronics)
I purchased this in 2002, so it's a year old, however it's stil a great bargain with some nice features. I'm not an audiofile by any stretch... just someone who likes to watch movies/tv and listen to music on a great home theater/stereo system.

The receiver works great, has many hookups, and the 6.1 sounds excellent (espcecially with a DTS 6.1 DVD movie like Blade 2). There are 2 optical digital inputs, and the sound is awesome when using those connections. I have the 5 disc DVD player in one of them, and my DirectTV sattelite receiver in the other. There are also coax digital inputs, component video inputs, s-video, and more.

Sound wise, I had to tweak the default settings some, but it's easy once you get used to the menu system. The remote was a little confusing at first, but now I use it exclusively. Just have to remember to hit the AMP button when you want to change the receiver settings, and the DVD button when you want to use it to control the DVD player. Sounds simple, but the buttons aren't next to each other, and it's not that intuitive.

Again, the sound is great. I have a medium size room, and these speakers fill it up nice. The subwoofer is great, and is nice and crisp. I'm sure compared to some Klipsh or Bose $800 subwoofers it's not the best, but to my ears, it sounds excellent.

It's pretty traditional looking, meaning that it doesn't have any fancy towers or flashing lights. It's a nice understated black, and the front panels aren't overly cluttered, which I like. It fits nicely in my entertainment center and blends in with the room well.

As far as reliability, I've never had a problem with it, and still sounds great after a year of regular use.

I'm giving it 4 stars, as it's a bit expensive. If this unit were under $1,000 I would give it 5.
