Summary: Rich, clear and deep listening experience.
Review: Yamaha YHT 300 system is great. The HTR-5540 receiver has 6.1 Matrix (virtual not discrete), which means it will give rear center speaker effects virtually. The receiver has Quad-Field Cinema DSP, Virtual Cinema DSP and Silent Cinema features. Does not have S-video or component video. (Connect your DVD player directly to TV's component/s-video video inputs.) This receiver gives you inputs for DVD-Audio and SACD. Front, Surround and Center speakers are average. Do not be bothered by 75x5 watts, this is more than enough for your medium sized living room.The best thing about this package is its 55 watts Advanced-YST Active Servo sub-woofer. Before that I bought the sony 100 watts sub but the Yamaha 55 watts, which comes with yht-300, has way too deep and rich bass. The sub-woofer has two inputs on the back, L(eft) and R(ight/MONO) if your receiver has split sub-outputs (connect to MONO input if you have one sub output). Sub also has speaker outputs. All in all, I am having an excellent experience. Hookup is easy. Along with the receiver manual, there is a hook-up booklet, 100 ft good quality speaker wire (low quality speaker wire came with sony set). I highly recommend this system if you are in this price range...
