Yamaha Audio YHT-4950U 4K Ultra HD 5.1-Channel Home Theater System with Bluetooth, black

I recently purchased this kit to replace a problematic LG BH9431PW. The LG claimed to support Dolby Digital Plus, but would not decode the new encoding from the Roku Amazon or Netflix channels. The Yamaha receiver in this kit handles the DD+ output from the Amazon and Netflix channels wonderfully. In case anyone is wondering, the AV Receiver included in this kit is the RX-V385. Some highlights so far compared to the previous LG BH9431PW: * Full Dolby Digital Plus support! Woohoo! I am now getting Dolby 5.1 output from my Amazon and Netflix channels. This was the number one reason for purchasing this unit. * The receiver allows direct navigation to any of the inputs: We use a Logitech Harmony 650 universal remote to map all of our devices, and the LG forced it to cycle through the inputs. This meant that, to go from our ROKU on HDMI2 to the DVR on HDMI1, the remote had to cycle forward through the other inputs like the optical, tuner, USB, and bluetooth to get back to HDMI1. This not only meant waiting a long time with the remote pointed at the equipment, but also tended to be prone to failure if the bluetooth scanning took too long. With the new Yamaha receiver, the remote is able to quickly switch between HDMI2 and HDMI3 with no delays or errors. * The speakers use standard wire connectors. The LG had a weird, proprietary connection plug and wiring scheme, so the old speakers could not be easily re-used with a different receiver (which is what forced me into buying a complete home theater system vs just upgrading the receiver). * The auto-speaker setup was nice. The unit comes with a microphone that can be hooked up to help balance the speakers for your particular viewing arrangement. The setup program not only validates the functionality and wiring of the speakers, but will calculate the relative distances from the speaker to the viewing location to help balance the volumes of each speaker. * Volume trimming between inputs. Related to speaker balancing, the unit will also let you decrease/increase the volume a bit between inputs. This is a handy feature since our DVR volume tended to be a bit softer than our ROKU, and the tuner would blow us out of the room. We now have the relative volume between the inputs a little closer to each other. * Powered Subwoofer. The subwoofer seems to have a bit more punch than my previous setup. Things that could be better: * Wireless surround connection. My old LG surround speaker setup had a wireless connection between the main unit and a satellite surround base unit. The new Yamaha forced me to run long speaker cables to the back of the room. A pain, but at least I no longer have to run power back to that location.

I don’t normally write reviews for products, but this sound system has really blown me away and I feel compelled to share my experience. I am so far very pleased with this product. Yamaha is a reputable brand and right off the bat you can trust that you’re receiving a solid product for the price you pay. It’s a costly setup but quality from this brand is on par with what you pay. Setup was easy enough. It took about an hour and a half to get everything unboxed, wires ran, speakers set, etc. The AV receiver is bigger than I thought it would be! Due to the way my room is set up, I anticipated not having enough speaker wire provided in the box and had to use a bit more. Amazon has cheap 16 gauge wire that you can pick up if you have to do some longer runs. Firing up the unit and testing each speaker was easy enough. The magic really happened when I plugged in my devices and started testing different songs, movies, and video games. I’m amazed by the crisp sounds and deep bass this unit can produce. It really feels like you’re at the movies! The surround sound helps video games feel atmospheric. With all the different presets available, you can customize the audio to fit the medium you’re playing. What really blew me away was the subwoofer. I can feel the bass in my chest and it is such a cool feeling. Bass notes are deep and rich, and explosions rattle the room, placing you directly in the action. If you’re looking for a true home cinema setup, look no further than this Yamaha sound system. Don’t cut corners with a sound bar if you can afford it. This thing is the real deal!

Arrived early and works great. No Issues. Great receiver by the way!

This is a decent unit for the price point. The surround speakers are not as good of a quality as I had on my older Sony unit but they do the job. It did take me a considerable amount of time and reading before I actually got it to sound correct. I don't recommend using the microphone to do the automatic set up. It really made the system sound pretty yucky. I finally figured out how to remove the settings it did and set the unit manually and now the music sounds better. Make sure to take advantage of the HDMI ARC setup and use a cable that is designed for ARC. Just prepare to do a lot of reading of the manual(which you have to download from Yamaha) to understand all of the functions that the unit is capable of.

Just what I wanted. Wish it had Dolby Atmos but still a great sound.

Muy buen equipo cumple su función para escuchar distintas fuentes, lo que me gusto es la programación predeterminada de distintas ecualizaciones que solo con pulsarlas las vas cambiando, quizá siento que le falta un poco de sonido por lo menos en cuanto a algunas plataformas de streaming que es lo que más he usado, no sé con otras fuentes. Hubiera sido genial que pudiera reproducir en dolby atmos en las fuentes que lo ofrecen, pero aun así se disfruta el sonido.
