Yamaha YHT-497 Home Theater Package

Once I got the Yamaha YHT-497BL I took it out of the box and heard a rattle in the center speaker. It works okay but don't know the long term. I am one of the very few that do not subscribe to cable or satellite so using my tv tuner is a disadvantage...

I purchased this system for my son. He lives in a condo and was looking for a nice stereo without making his neighbors mad, this fit the bill perfectly. It works great with his 3D TV, his XBOX 360, his PS3, and his DirecTv HDDVR. The only problem he...

I bought this system a couple months back and I must say it is fantastic. I haven't been able to turn up the 6" sub-woofer very high since I live in an apartment complex, but it's still amazing. It took my favorite games (Mass effect, Skyrim, Dues Ex)...

Although I like detailed, long reviews, I am not a techie, so i will just tell you my experience with this system. It works great, we have had it several months with no problems, and enjoy it every week. We are just regular movie watchers, with a basic...

There's seemingly infinite choices of brands and setups for stereos or really any electronics product out there. I chose Yamaha because they were a brand that I know to be leaders in the sound industry. I have a Yamaha acoustic guitar that is really...

I have almost analysed every Home Theatre at this price range and I am very satisfied buying this one. The only drawback I could think of is the incapacity for Airplay. But in case you do not care too much for playing it via Airplay, this would be the...
