Awesome System! But!...
Pros: With amazing sound quality even when compared with several Bose systems that i personally own. Very nice well built satellite speakers that deliver great high to mid range sounds then, with the 100W 8" sub woofer taking car of the low to mid range sounds. This unit is not only the perfect system for people who like to listen to their music, but those of us that truly appreciate high quality sound -The menu is full of some very cool fetures -I also love how you can get 5.1 out of almost every input with the use of an optical cable.
Cons: Do not be fooled, this system WILL NOT convert composite video to HDMI! i thought it would because every other Yamaha system with similar configurations is equipped with a Converter, however this unit is NOT! When i called Yamaha tech support and asked if there was anyway for me to convert the signal, the guy said "No, this is only the base unit!" And that "I should have bought the next model up" this made me feel bad, i just spend 300$ on a nice Yamaha unit and all he has to say is that i just made a stupid mistake! Didn't even come with one HDMI cable!(Only the speaker cables)
Overall Review: Beware this unit only has 2 HDMI inputs, yes this might be on the product description, but it might be a problem for some. (Couldn't put that down as con because its not the receivers fault) The one egg is knocked off because it never says the unit cant convert the signal and, the very upsetting experience i had with Yamaha tech support!
Update! >:(
Pros: Router works great over cat5 but...
Cons: Wifi is Slow as heck again. The ONLY WAY i can get the wifi to speed up again is by using WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES], which is Extremely annoying because not only is it an out of date encryption but it does not even support type N speeds!!! >:(
Overall Review: The entire reason that i bought this was for the quick throughput Type N-300mbps/Gigabit and now i cant even use the Type n wifi. I always liked Netgear routers but unless there is an update that fixes this soon, ill never buy a netgear AGAIN!
Silent
Pros: after 2 years of constant Media computer use, its still dead silent!
Cons: Not massive airflow but i just got 3 of them.
Still worsk after 4 years!
Pros: PUT IT IN YOUR CART
Cons: NOW!
Overall Review: WHY ARE YOU STILL WAITING
Great TV!
Pros: Wow. Much screen. Such definition. very resolution. so amaze.
Cons: None
Garbage
Pros: good design.
Cons: garbage fans. Only after about a month, both fans had blown bushings, even after a but of lube, they were still an annoyance and later stopped working again.
Overall Review: you'd be better off throwing your money in the trash.
