Great value

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.

Awesome product

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 receiver performs well

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.

Great Buy for the Money

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.

Really good value! Nice receiver

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.

Disappointed

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.

Great system

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.

Excellent Replacement To My older Sony system

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.

Nice 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.

It's really 4 1/2 stars

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.

Great value

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

YHT-4920UBL Review

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.

The Yamaha YHT-4920UBL home theater in a box supports Bluetooth for wireless music playback, 4K Ultra HD video with HDCP 2.2 compatibility and features a discrete 5.1-channel amplifier design. For ease of use, the exclusive Yamaha YPAO system automatically calibrates your listening environment for optimal sound performance. Included is a compact black gloss 5.1-channel speaker system with a powerful 6 1/2" 100 watt powered subwoofer.

Bluetooth Compatible for Wireless Music Streaming
The YHT-4920UBL is equipped with Bluetooth functionality to let you easily enjoy wireless music playback from smartphones and other devices. The Compressed Music Enhancer from Yamaha is now optimized for Bluetooth audio transmissions to ensure that your music will have vivid, lively sound quality during wireless playback.

Compressed Music Enhancer
When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. The Compressed Music Enhancer from Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing using exclusive algorithms to restore what was lost, so the music always sounds the way it should.

4K Ultra HD Pass-through with HDCP 2.2
This system supports the latest HDMI standards thanks to the transmission of 4K video at 60 frames per second (pass-through only). Fully enjoy the high definition video quality of 4K without degradation along with HDCP 2.2 that fully complies with the latest copyright protection, a standard for 4K video transmission.

YPAO Sound Optimization for Automatic Speaker Set Up
YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Acoustic Optimizer) analyzes the room acoustics and adjusts various audio parameters for optimum sound in just a few minutes ensuring that the listening area is tuned to provide the best audio experience possible.

Virtual Cinema Front Provides Virtual 5-channel Surround Sound with High Quality and Resolution
As an alternate setup configuration, Virtual Cinema Front allows you to install all of the speakers at the front and enjoy virtual 5.1-channel surround sound when rear speaker placement is not possible.

Extra Bass Provides Rich Bass Reproduction, Even with Small Speakers
This exclusive low-range enhancement technology delivers richer bass than you would expect from the speaker size while maintaining good localization and sound balance even with compact front speakers. When a subwoofer is used, it improves the volume of the entire low range of the speaker system, not only the front speakers, but also enhancing the bass from the subwoofer. You'll enjoy video and music with sound that has exceptional power and presence.

HD Audio with Cinema DSP
Enjoy HD Audio sources with Cinema DSP and experience a sound field that allows you to transform the dynamics of the listening environment with the acoustics of famous venues from all around the world.

Discrete Amp Configuration for High Sound Quality
This home theater system was designed with a strong focus on achieving a high level of sound clarity. It employs a discrete amplifier configuration and a low-jitter PLL circuit, which contribute to its excellent audio performance.

HDMI with 3D and Audio Return Channel
The YHT-4920UBL supports 3D video signals. Additionally, the Audio Return Channel function enables audio to be sent and received via the same HDMI cable, so you can hear the sound from the TV via a single HDMI cable.

Scene for One-touch Start
Pressing a Scene button powers on the AV receiver and selects the input source and DSP mode. You can reset the buttons for different sources by selecting a source and DSP mode, then pressing a Scene button for more than three seconds.

HDMI CEC for Easy Operation
Another benefit of HDMI is the availability of CEC functionality. When the unit is connected to a CEC compatible TV, the receiver will turn on and off together with the TV and you can use the TV remote to control the volume. CEC also provides advanced functionality with other components. For example, you can use the receiver's remote control to command source players with functions like skip, play and pause. All connected devices must be HDMI CEC compatible. Some CEC compatible TVs / players may not work.

Subwoofer Trim for Improved Sound Imaging
The Subwoofer Trim Control enhances the low frequencies by avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This will result in a cleaner, more focused soundstage while providing a seamless frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional systems, the overall sound is "pushed" toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim Control takes care of this by separating the low subwoofer frequencies cleanly, thus stabilizing the front stage while providing a well-balanced enhanced bass sound.

AV Setup Guide for Easier Installation
The AV Setup Guide makes it much easier to perform the set up process. This app assists you with cable connections between the AV receiver and source devices. Additionally, it guides you through various settings such as speaker connections, TV and source device connections and power amplifier assignments. System illustrations and actual AV receiver images help you understand how to make the connections between devices. It is available in multiple languages and is designed for iOS and Android tablets.

ECO Mode Lowers Power Consumption by 20%
When ECO mode is turned on it can reduce power consumption by about 20 percent.

Selectable Auto Power Standby
Auto Power Standby lets you save energy by automatically turning off the receiver's power after 20 minutes, two, four, eight or 12 hours.
