My wife and I just had to replace our DVD player (replaced a Panasonic PVD4761 with a Sony DVPNS315). Since I had already picked out the DVD player I wanted, we decided to look for a good introductory home theater system without a DVD player. So far, we’re very pleased with the Yamaha YHT-300.
First, our requirements. We only listen to music occasionally, but we’re big movie buffs and wanted to ditch the old speakers my wife has been using since college, which we used with an equally old receiver with no surround sound. Our family room is relatively small, about 14′x10′, and we live in a townhome, so we don’t need an incredibly powerful system. We also didn’t want to break the bank, since we’re not audiophiles - we just want better sounding movies.
The biggest advantage of the YHT-300 is the selection of surround sound options - Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Matrix 6.1, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS, and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 This is the only system I could find in this price range with such a broad range of options.
The set up took longer than I had hoped, primarily because this was my first foray into this type of equipment. The manual was relatively good, and I’m sure anyone with experience would find setup relatively easy. The only complication was the lack of S-video jacks, forcing us to route our video connections through an S-video box.
Once set up, the sound was excellent. The only problem was that during DVD play the receiver kept inexplicably shutting off. Annoying, to say the least. However, upon restarting it the display helpfully suggested I check the speaker wires. Sure enough, the wires into one of the speakers were touching, so after pruning them I experienced no further problems.
So far, so good. The audio experience with all of our TV, VCR, and DVD watching is dramatically improved. I have no doubt there are better systems out there, but this one meets our needs extremely well, at a relatively modest price.
