Yamaha YHT-3920UBL 5.1-Channel Home Theater in a Box System with Bluetooth

I am not an audiophile, just an average guy who wanted a surround sound system for his man cave. I love the Bluetooth and use it with my phone all the time to play my drum set with. I also use it with my HDTV to watch movies and have been very impressed! A good test for me is watching Star Trek...the first new Star Trek movie that came out around 2008. The sound was absolutely incredible! It just blew me away! Great crisp highs and booming bass from the subwoofer. The sub also comes with a volume control, which is a nice touch. There were two things that I wasn't crazy about...1) not wireless. I was replacing a rear wireless sound system that I loved. However, I have acoustic ceiling tiles, so it wasn't a huge deal as I hid the wires easily. 2) No phono input for turntables. These audio companies are going to have to realize that there are many people out there still listening to vinyl LPs. I had a hell of a time finding one that I liked with a phono input. That said, you can buy a simple turntable pre-amp for around $12. Because these were easy fixes, I still give this system 5 Stars because it is one great sounding system for a reasonable price.

The receiver that ships with this system is Yamaha HTR-3068 and it is a discontinued Yamaha product. Most likely due to the fact that the people at the Bluetooth SIG have moved on to Bluetooth 5.0 e.g. iPhone 8, etc. This unit does not support Bluetooth 5.0 and as far as I know it is not upgradeable. If Bluetooth issues won't keep you from buying, it's a wonderful system for watching movies or TV. It has one HDCP 2.2 compliant input and one HDCP 2.2 Output (since everything but the DVD is "pass thru" that's probably all we will ever need). It arrived two days early (no promise yours will). It has a nice FM/AM Radio built in and comes with antennes.Here's a list of things I did to make it better: 1. Got enough 16GA speaker cable to run to all your speakers. 2. We purchased a more Powerful Sub unit (the one that came with the system is doing duty in my shop now). 3. In order to resolve a "handshake" issue with the cable set-top-box we had to go through the reset-to-factory process. 4. Set the speakers to 6 Ohm. The default setting is 8 Ohm, but the speakers that come with the unit are 6 Ohm. 5. Use the automatic speaker setup (Leave the room and keep everything quite while it's doing it's thing). 6. If all else fails: read the manual. There is Tech Support and they are some of the best.Bottom line: We have a very nice sounding system. We switch with ease from Streaming device/Cable/4k DVD.

I was looking to upgrade from a Sony home theater system and did a lot of research. If you are looking at this system feel confident in buying it 100%. I didn't use the wire that came with the system but instead AmazonBasics 16-Gauge Speaker Wire - 100 Feet. Sony makes great televisions but doesn't have the sound that a Yamaha has. Nice bass and has great clarity and will get pretty loud. It does come with the HTR-3068 which seems to be a wonderful receiver. Lots of different sound modes you can use too which are fun to play with. Highly recommend and don't hesitate to purchase.

I recently bought this. When I connect my tv audio through av inputs and press straight button , there is no sound from the center speaker. Remaining everything works fine

we like it a lot except we have to replace the speakers within the first few months

The system in general is okay. The speaker wire supplied is low grade and the center speaker is a little week in power. however, the sub and speakers are nice .The installation instructions are at best,vague and confusing. The power is good, but the different sound effects( opera hall,sports,town hall..etc) ...weak!!!! and has no place in this type of system, they just take out the base and provide an echo to the sound ...The 2 and 5 channel options are the best ones to use. If you use the ARC connection, alone ( putting your cable input through the receiver) you will loose the picture on your TV if you turn off the unit, because the signal wont go through when the sound system is off. meaning that you have to have the full system on all the time to watch TV.

Sound is very nice. Bass is deep and rich...The only downside is the setting up the wiring which can take a little time, but this system is great and easy to use, specially at this price point. Don't go for Sony, Samsung or other brands that are NOT speciallized in audio like Yamaha, JBL etc.

Complex as heck to operate, but eventually you get the hang of it. (I have 4 remotes that have to be used and switching back an forth is a real test of my brain function. I can't imagine a techno-phobe operating this.) The remote synced with my blue-ray player, but not my TV. The sound is a good improvement over my past surround sound system and the sound quality now matches the quality of my blue-ray images. I like how you can use a special microphone device to automatically adjust the sound based on where your listening chair is. I sit in different chairs depending on fellow movie watchers joining me, so this feature is great.
