Yamaha YHT-S400 Home Theater System
Key Features
A Unique Home Theater Soundbar Package that Fits Anywhere
The Yamaha YHT-S400 is a unique soundbar home theater system that's more compact and versatile than conventional soundbars. That's because Yamaha was able to build a subwoofer into the surprisingly slim receiver, eliminating an extra unit (and cables) and allowing convenient placement in a rack or on the floor. Plus, the YHT-S400 is one of the slimmest soundbars on the market. So no matter the space, you can fit a complete home theater system into even the most unforgiving of rooms.
Extended HD Stereo Compatibility
The YHT-S400 can accept HD Audio signals (linear PCM transmission) from Blu-ray Disc players for enjoying maximum sound quality. Another new technology featured in the YHT-S400, Extended Stereo moves the stereo image further to the sides. With a 31-1/2" wide unit, it is as if you are listening from speakers that are over 6 feet apart from each other. This means that the optimum sound field in front of the unit is much wider.
UniVolume
This welcome feature, made possible by Yamaha-developed technology, maintains a consistent volume level between different channels, programs, commercials and input sources. It can be switched on and off.
Width and Height Adjustable Feet
The speaker unit has height-adjustable and width adjustable feet, so it can be placed in front of most TVs from 32" to 50", no matter what shape and width the TV stand is. The feet can also be removed.
1080p-Compatible HDMI ; CEC Functionality
Three HDMI inputs mean that you can connect three different HD sources to the receiver, each via a single cable. When the YHT-S400 is connected to a CEC-compatible TV, such as Panasonic VIERA Link TV, the YHT-S400 will turn on and off together with the TV, and you can use the TV remote unit to control the YHT-S400 volume. CEC also provides advanced functionality with other components.

With easy setup, stylish design, and luxuriously rich surround sound, this soundbar takes video enjoyment to a new level. This powerful sound bar system is designed with a focus on simplicity and elegance.
Yamaha YHT-S401BL Front Surround Home Theater System -- Yamaha's newest soundbar system, the YHT-S401 consists of a soundbar and receiver/subwoofer, which you can position conveniently near the TV. The soundbar has three speakers including a center speaker for clear dialogue from movies and TV programs. Yamaha’s rich, natural sound and expansive surround fields will greatly enhance the enjoyment of all your media sources.

The result is true multi-channel surround sound that sounds just like a multi-speaker system--but without the need for extra speakers.
It is an unique home theater package that supports 3D pass-through with a subwoofer-integrated and an extremely slim front speaker that fits in front of almost any TV. It supports 3D pass-through over HDMI (requires latest firmware). The UniVolume keeps volume during TV programs and commercials at the same level.

Just received from Amazon today... My primary requirements were a low profile, black unobtrusive sound bar to go in the 3 inches of space I have under my wall mounted Panasonic TCP-65S1. Other options from Samsung and other manufacturers that fit my space requirement had fewer features, only 2.1 channels, and reviews indicating sound quality not quite up to snuff. It is replacing a Yamaha YSP-800 that works fine but simply takes up too much space.
I understand there is some doubt out there about the sub combined with the receiver but so far it sounds fine.
In fact the whole setup sounds better than good... very crisp clean surround 7.1ch emulation, louder and better quality/separation than the 5ch YSP-800 it is replacing.
Time (and a bunch of Blu Ray movies) will tell, and I will update this review with further observations as I further evaluate the unit.
Very easy to install and setup, the setup menus are easy to use. I am not a huge picky audiophile so the minimal setup options are plenty for me... and if I were an audiophile I probably wouldn't be getting a soundbar.
I was curious to see how the HDMI-CEC would work with my VieraLink panny, and this was the one area I was disappointed... First off it loses the VieraLink "HD Theater sound control" setting when the TV turns off and back on. Secondly while the input button works to change inputs on the receiver, it doesn't change it to the right HDMI input to match the panny onscreen display. Not sure how much these are the panny's fault and how much the receiver.
On the plus side for controls, since my DVR control can turn the TV power off and on, using the HDMI inputs on the receiver instead of the TV does the trick... I control inputs and volume with the receiver control and am able to eliminate one control (the TV remote) from my coffee table. I know, I know, I should just get a universal/programmable remote but I haven't had good experiences with them, and two remotes is fine for me.
Since the HDMI-CEC wasn't a requirement for me and the HDMI input handling solves my needs, and everything else is great, I'll tip over the edge from four stars and make it five... since this is a subjective review and I am not rating it against higher end solutions, just $500 or lower sound bars.
Anyways, I hope this account helps anyone with similar needs considering this product.
UPDATE 2.11.2010
Still love it, happy with the sound quality but I really like the little remote... just enough buttons not too many, HDMI passthrough works well and let me ditch my TV remote. So the HDMI-CEC complaint is less now, the only reason I cared about that was to ditch a remote... mission accomplished.
I was looking for a Home Theater in a box solution that is minimalist in appearance, without compromising on sound quality or available features. I tried the Bose 3-2-1 system and Cinemate speakers prior to this. I ended up returning both the products. For about $500 less, Yamaha delivers amazing sound quality in a very small footprint ! I highly recommend this product for apartment dwellers or someone who appreciates minimalism.
PROS:
- 3 HDMI Inputs + 1 Analog
- Solid Build Quality + Yamaha reputation
- One-of-a-kind receiver that has a built-in subwoofer
- Great price ; fast shipping on amazon.com
CONS:
-The speaker bar sometimes blocks the infrared port on the TV, thereby making it difficult to use the TV remote.
(This is really not a con, as you can dismount the legs to lower the height or position the speaker appropriately)

With the exception of scary generics that I do not know properly, you're selections in the present blu-ray home theater in a box (HTIB) space is restricted to Sony, LG, Philips, and Samsung. I did see some critiques of Onkyo, but these are drastically pricier for the exact same functions. I essentially evaluated these players based on attributes for the $$$ and selected LG. I also located that all the new models are 3-D players, but quite reasonably priced. I cannot comment on the three-D display good quality, as my LG LCD Television does not have this feature.
Setup/Install:
Really good labeled speaker wire with no proprietary speaker connections (I'm hunting at you Sony), so you can extend the wires simple and easy for a larger room. No HDMI or ethernet cable. This unit does not consist of wi-fi. No wireless rear speakers either.
Hardware:
Low cost ipod dock, but I'm certain it's adequate. I haven't employed it but oddly, even though I have my iPhone on hand for music all the time. But I mainly use MOG and Pandora, both apps included on this internet-connected technique. (MOG for a fee, Pandora if you can put up with their continually-rising advertisements). I think the days of taking time to select and spend to "personal" individual tracks are numbered, I Appreciate the Television showing the music app though the tunes blast more than the speakers.
Remote is decently laid out, but the tactile sense kind of stinks. Not a big deal to me, you just have to press the buttons a tiny harder than what should certainly be important. I've got the remote app on my iPhone, but c'mon LG developers, give that app some KEYBOARD functionality.
Note: The LG "Remote" iphone app has two shop possibilities. I'm speaking of the one labeled for 2011 devices. I'd like to know if the older app has text entry. Why is this imperative? Think about how significantly text entry is necessary to navigate Netflix, youtube, pandora, etc. The much less-than-wonderful remote combined with letter by letter selection gets old Actual rapid. PLEASE LG APP DEVELOPERS, HEAR OUR CALL! We're searching at 3-five seconds amongst character entry!
Speakers/Key Unit:
Nothing flashy right here. The speakers have no protective cover but look sharp and modern in flat black. All 4 surround speakers are identical. The subwoofer looks nice with the exact same shiny finish as the surrounds. The center speaker for vocals is also desirable. The head-unit is pretty wide, and the display is absolutely nothing specific. Type of like searching at a high-school scoreboard. White LED display on black.
Sound Top quality:
What can I say, I've got surround sound for a Particularly reasonable price. I'm happy with the quality compared to my Television speakers ) I'm no audiophile, but I do appreciate music and concerts. This sound good quality meets my wants. It will boom if you like some bass to dance to.
Note: The next model up (LG LHB536 1100W 3D Blu-ray Household Theater Method with Intelligent Tv Integrated Wi-Fi) I Thought only included integrated wi-fi connectivity, but look closer at the pics and you will notice this unit adds tweeters as properly. I can't comment on the distinction in sound high quality, but one thing to take into consideration.
Network connectivity and apps:
Program hooked perfect up to the internet. Hard-wired to a wireless router on a Comcast cable subscription in Denver metro region. Props to LG engineers right here, I was on the internet instantly! I perform as a laptop engineer, so I do appreciate the ease of use and instant gratification out-of-the-box.
App installation:
1. Designed my LG account and then accessed "Premium" apps
2. Netflix - Works wonderful. My PS3 was regularly dropping Netflix about every 20 minutes, requiring a button press to restart play. Now I know it wasn't my ISP, b/c these days are more than. The PS3 interface for netflix was a small even more visually appealing and straightforward to use. In spite of this, Netflix is regularly testing new interfaces for numerous device varieties, so this could modify next week.
three. Pandora - Effectively, just logged into this for the 1st time to give my fellow shoppers a break-down :) Breathtaking interface, lots of functionality (bookmarks, ratings, station creation). This is a winner. My track-forward remote button even shoots to the next Pandora song. Nicely integrated.
four. MOG - I'm just pleased to SEE this app from the small music begin-up that could. Feature set is limited, highly limited. But searching for practically ANY artist/track/album and playing it right away is SWEET! (Subscription service, but think of the quantity of time necessary to download tracks to devices and the expense to spend by track). I hope the guys at MOG will bring playlist look-up and creation to this app although. Fundamentally all you have here is search and the potential to browse editor's picks, prime picks, and new releases. Note: There is no looking of others' playlist's either (in my opinion the killer app of the MOG model). But alas, these functions already exist for the iPhone and Android MOG apps, so it is just a matter of time until this hits a developer's queue (PLEASE MOG?!?)
General, I like the method a lot so far. I'm only two days in, so hopefully no glitches to come. If you decide to buy one particular of these, join up with the AVS forum web site. Lot's of very good details there on this product loved ones.
Content with the seller, highly pleased with Amazon's early delivery.
Got this unit at Frys Electronics for $229. For that value it is a excellent household theater technique.
Sounds superb. Plays Blu Ray 3D. Lots of attributes. We especially like the house media DLNA feature.
I'm utilizing an Asus RT-N16 router with Tomato USB computer software. Router has 2 USB ports and with Tomato you have a lot even more control over the QOS settings. Got a 2 terrabit hardrive connected to router. We're placing all our music on it. So far the LHB336 has played each audio file we've thrown at it. No way more going via CDs. Put your favored songs in a folder and select that folder in the LHB336. Excellent.
Video looks good on our LG 55LW5600. Don't have any 3D movies to play yet so I can't speak to that.
Pros - Worth. Sound. Capabilities.
Cons - Wife hates having to use three remotes. Had me plug satellite receiver directly to Tv. It is a small much more complicated than our using our old Tv setup. It appears you have to press a lot of buttons to get to where you want to be. But then our old Tv/DVD setup did not do 1/3rd of what the new Television/Blu Ray property theater method can.
Nevertheless working on acquiring it to play video files from the network drive. Will update review when I figure that out.
Downloaded a 3D video file yesterday. Had to convert it to AVI format. Check out video format specs on LG's web site. Blu Ray disk player will play certain formats. Will not play these identical formats off a USB Harddrive. So you can't just copy a DVD formated video file more than to the difficult drive. Had to convert a single of our holiday videos from DVD format to AVI to watch it.
BTW, the 3D video was great! The 2D to 3D (although nonetheless intriguing) is just a low cost trick compared to and actual 3D video. Video was clear, vivid and coming out of the television.
Coby's DVD765 program brings together high-tech capabilities, Dolby Digital audio and stylish design for the ultimate property theater expertise. Compatible with all common disc formats, this progressive scan DVD player characteristics a super-slim design that fits simply into your residence. 5 full-range satellite speakers and subwoofer with tuned port deliver pounding bass and crisp highs: 300 watts of dynamic audio in 5.1-channel surround sound.
This is likely the worst Residence Theater Technique you can locate. I would list the pros and cons but there isn't anything good about the technique at all so I will just list the complications.
- The speaker wires are too brief. They won't even cover a 10' x 10' bedroom.
- The speaker high quality is horrific. My Tv from 1995 (no surround sound) sounds superior than these
-The volume can only go so low. You can try to keep turning the volume down but once it hits about halfway of what it would be on a usual one particular the sound will just mute. There is no low volume.
- The DVD high quality is terrible as properly. So significantly for progressive scan.
- WORST OF ALL: You can't manage the volume when watching tv ONLY when watching a DVD or playing music. Don't know why everyone would make a property theater item exactly where you cannot control the volume when watching tv.
DO NOT Shop for THIS Item. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Going directly back to Amazon.
effectively this theater system, fairly substantially is ok. there is no bass at all, so you if you want some good kicks then get a better method or hook up it up by means of yet another program (like i did). other than that the speakers arent too poor, they get honestly loud really and dont crack, so really good for the surround sound, primarily my only con is that the bass sucks.

Good residence theater for the price tag. I bought this mainly(98%) for playing PS3. The sound is wonderful and you will be impressed, that is, if you have little to no expertise in residence theater. This program is the preferred obtain at this cost range. Stay away from these other Samsung and Sony systems. The receiver alone is worth ~200$.
These speakers are really good for a tiny to medium size space. Do not order these for a big living space.
The surround sound works superior on these things, and the receiver has plenty of modes for whatever you're watching.
Subwoofer is enormous(seriously) and is passive meaning that it gets its power from the receiver which is not the top factor in the globe. The HT-S5400 having said that, has a subwoofer that isn't passive meaning that you will get louder, stronger "booms"
This technique also has no USB ports for connecting your iPod/iPhone. The HT-S5400 7.1 Channel does nonetheless. This also does not have a mic which implies that it cannot exactly balance voices and action scenes in films. This is finding fairly annoying as I get myself getting to have the volume controller subsequent to me.
A single thing I just have to note is these four/four.5 stars it has. These are from evaluations from consumers that are to begin with time buyers. These 4 stars are NOT the same 4 stars given to these $700+ systems. 1 factor that is fairly a lot true and I'm sure you've heard it. You get what you spend for. If you honestly do have much more cash get the far better system. You'll be glad you did. This is an investment and I'm confident you are not just going to maintain it for a month or two.
Onkyo help is a piece of- not gonna say it-. I've tried calling and emailing, but whenever you email them, they just suggest you call them and whenever you call them, they just transfer you, and transfer you, and transfer you. Horrible and I hope this thing in no way breaks on me considering that I may as well just throw it in the trash.
PS3 Users:
While playing PS3 games(some, not all), the sound, and in other games both sound and picture, cut out. FIFA 12 and LittleBigPlanet, for example, cuts out each few games and begins freezing for five seconds then coming back but then freezing again. A 15 minute game takes half an hour when this happens and it really is super annoying. I've contacted Onkyo help, but it's no use.
General:
three out of five
Pro:
-Superior technique for beginners with little-medium sized rooms.
-4 HDMI ports(Typically, other cheap systems at this prize give you 1 or two)
-Easy set up(basic devices)
-Gets the surround sound/dwelling theater job carried out
Cons:
-Passive Subwoofer
-No USB ports
-No Mic
-Cables(back speakers) could run brief for medium sized room. Just lengthy adequate for my back speakers and the room is tiny.(15'x12'+/-)
-Onkyo Assistance
-Lack of PS3 Help(somewhat)
Everything appears great so far. I have some fairly decent monitor speakers hooked up rather of the fronts, so I cant comment on the entire method. That said, the receiver has just about every choice I could ever have to have. You cannot get a receiver for 300$ that is far better, or has extra selections than this one particular, so with the speakers and sub included it seems like a amazing deal. Took ten-15 minutes to set up. Easy on screen menu and set-up possibilities. I had a Denon AVR-391 that I just returned to Finest Buy, and this Onkyo Receiver has an additional optical audio input, and the audio basically passes by way of the hdmi cables exactly where the Denon didnt. Totally no complaints following watching a couple Tv shows and listening to diverse forms of music, anything sounds genuinely good for the value.

If you have any concerns about your warranty coverage, or you feel you require service, call Polk Client Service at 1-800-377-7655. We're right here to support you get the most from your new speakers!

I generally appear at these critiques to support me with my purchases, so it really is only fair that I write one particular to assist an individual else. I just purchased this speaker program and I'm blown away. The sound is so clean and crisp and especially bright. I have this connected to a Yamaha RX-V661 and the sound is wonderful. This is perfect for a medium to large space. If you want a Big sound without having the bulk and the high expense, I very advise this. The set up was easy. The brackets provided also comes with a paper template for quick wall mounting. The screws/hardware are also included and looks outstanding. If you're making use of a high gauge speaker wire, the +/- inputs (holes) on the back of each speaker are a rather small and somewhat difficult to connect. Other than that, I'm going to really appreciate this method.

These speakers are wonderful I wanted a fantastic speaker program set and I took a look at forums but I'm content I got these for about 300.
Pros:
-Subs is excellent for me
-Speaker are very spectacular and match with Tv
-Sound is incredible now I can hear the bits and the bangs of my blu-ray films
-I have no cons so far
Tricks for beneficial sound from these poor boys:
-Turn the sub's cross over all the way up
-Turn the phase nob to degrees
-Turn the receivers cross over to 80hz
When you are completed, listen to the technique and if there is not sufficient boom from the sub turn the channel level setting on the receiver for the sub a little bit. Listen to it, turn sub level, listen and so on until you get your taste.
