Experiences Expanded
CINEMA DSP
Exclusive Yamaha CINEMA DSP technology supports playback of HD Audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.), providing natural and expansive sound imaging. CINEMA DSP transforms the dynamics of the listening environment, with acoustic reproduction of famous venues such as the Bottom Line, Roxy Theater, and European cathedrals—letting you experience their ambience right in your room.
Every Room Is Different
Easy Sound Optimization with YPAO
YPAO (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer) analyzes the room acoustics and your system, then precisely adjusts various audio parameters to provide the best sound for your room. By placing the supplied microphone at your listening position and switching YPAO on, the system is automatically tuned for optimum performance in your home.
Built for Performance
Discrete Amp Configuration
The included AV receiver was designed with a strong focus on achieving exceptionally high clarity sound. It employs a discrete amp configuration and a low-jitter PLL circuit, which contributes to its excellent audio performance.
Feel Your Lows
Rich Bass Reproduction
This exclusive low-range enhancement technology delivers richer bass than you would expect from smaller sized speakers 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.
Virtual Surround
Virtual CINEMA FRONT
Even when it is impossible to install surround speakers behind the listening position, you can enjoy virtual 5-channel surround sound with all of the speakers placed in the front of the room.
Roam Untethered
Bluetooth with Music Enhancer
Thanks to its built-in Bluetooth functionality, this receiver lets you enjoy easy 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, dynamic sound quality during wireless playback.

All About That Bass
Advanced YST II Produces Powerful Low End
The Advanced YST II subwoofer combines negative-impedance and constant current principles to drive the speaker cone with tight control. It optimizes effective speaker impedance to maintain stable and accurate low-range response and high sound pressure levels, for more natural and energetic bass reproduction.
Pros: Pro's Easy to set up Plenty of HDMI in inputs for a gamer like me Not too bulky Bass is insane in my apartment Easily controls the rest of my equipment
Cons: Cons Bass is insane in my apartment Speaker wire that came with it was not enough, could be a good thing, went to home Depot to buy 2 50' rolls of much better wire Doesn't come with banana plugs (highly recommend) As of right now, not too many complaints with this unit.
Overall Review: Plenty of options to adjust the picture sound quality can be a little overwhelming for a newbie like me, but very pleased with this. would definitely but again if the need ever arises. Overall think this was well worth my money and time to set up.
