Yamaha YHT-4920UBL 5.1-Channel Home Theater in a Box System

Very impressive sound for the money. I had a neighbor who spend a few thousand dollars to set up a mancave with a super sound system that reproduced all the little nuances that this Yamaha probably misses. However, I believe this system provides enough accuracy to greatly enhance the home movie experience. It was easy to set up and tweek for the room.

I use this product from listening to FM stations, using the bluetooth feature, to play playstation games. The unit is excellent!! had a bose system before, this by far exceeds it.

This was a fantastic deal and service. It arrived quickly even though I got the lazy shipping credit :)

I purchased this kit to go with my 4K TV and Blu-Ray player. There was only enough wire for the rear speakers and center speaker. The slender wire tucks easily under baseboard around the room. After optimizing speaker settings, had to reverse sub-woofer phase to achieve acceptable bass performance as per page 48 of the manual. Had difficulty getting 'ARC' to function, need to set the 'TV Scene' audio input to 'AV 2'. The preset 'Audio 1' does not allow for 'ARC' performance. See pages 29 and 71 of the manual, in particular, the 'Light Bulb' icon on page 71. It is helpful to print off this manual. Once I cleared this hurdle, I found that this receiver performs exceptionally well. Now I can apply for that Space Shuttle Pilot's license.

I bought this system as a replacement for an older system. I'm very pleased with both the performance and it's versatility. I can connect my phone to listen to Pandora and Spotify, plus with all the HDMI ports all my games, and other devices are all running thru the system.

Great product for the price. Speakers are a little small but wouldn't expect more at this price. Sub woofer sounds a little muddy at higher power but can tweek it to sound better. Good receiver and can always upgrade speakers later.

Bought this to hear clear dialogue for tv and movies. Very disappointed. Spent over 1 week trying different setting to get a clear audio but speakers are not up to it. My computer speakers sound better than these 5 speakers. Called support and aside from increasing the center speaker level no other suggestions were made. If I did not throw the boxes out I would return this product.

I am able to connect all of my home theater system devices to this unit via HDMI. It has bluetooth so I can connect my handheld music devices wirelessly. This system sounds really great and was priced right.

Best sounding set up I have ever owned. Great selections for various movie and TV types. Standard setting will actually handle all but it is fun to explore all the other options. I listened to several sound bars and did not think any of them were as complete as this basic set up.

Needs a printed owners manual. Comes with a CD from which you are supposed to learn how to set up and operate the system. I took the cd to a printer in town who made me a nice spiral bound manual to keep with the unit. Yamaha could have done this cheaper.

I am not an audiophile, just an average guy who wanted a surround sound system to play music and enhance his TV watching experience in his man cave. This system is great for both! I had also just purchased a top quality used turntable to play my old albums and I needed a good receiver. Unfortunately, this system does not have a phono input, which I really wanted. That said, for about $15 you can buy a decent turntable pre-amp to connect your turntable to an audio input. I also used to have wireless rear speakers that I loved! This one has wired speakers. Luckily enough, I have an acoustic ceiling which allowed me to hide the wiring. The sound has wonderful, crisp highs and clear bass response. The first thing I did was watch an action movie with lots of guns and explosions, and it literally felt like I was there with bullets wizzing by my head! I also use the Bluetooth all the time to play music from my phone. I wanted this so I could play my drum set along with my favorite albums. Even with the volume of my drum set, this system plays plenty loud enough without distortion so I can get into my music while I'm drumming. For the money spent, I think this is the perfect system for guys like me. It really is, however, 4 1/2 stars because of the lack of phono input and wired speakers. Electronics companies need to realize that vinyl is still being manufactured and listened to by older and younger audiences.

I have a bad habit of spending way more than I need to for what I really need. I fought the urge to spend way more and bought this based on the salesman recommendation for the most bang for my buck. I am not disappointed. Sounds great

Upon purchasing the home theater system, I had douts about setting it up. But fter looking at the straight forward assembly instrucions, I was able to setup the system in about 30 minutes and it works great.

This HTIB was purchased to replace an outdated RCA HTIB system that was over 15 years old. The YHT-4920UBL is a nice entry level HTIB that performs nicely. The receiver and speakers are very stylish. The only negative is the subwoofer power ON/OFF switch is located on the back of the speaker. And Yamaha recommends turning the subwoofer off when not in use. Their higher end speakers tend to have the power ON/OFF switch located on the top front of the speaker. I would certainly recommend this HTIB to anyone starting out or looking to replace an existing system.
