Yamaha YHT1840 5.1 Home Theatre Kit - Black

Product Information

Connect your TV, Blu-ray/DVD player and game console to Yamaha YHT1840 and you’re ready for the full cinematic experience. With built-in Dolby and DTS digital processors, Yamaha YHT1840 activates sound effects throughout the room for a real feeling of “being there”.” The sound is processed by 192/24-bit Burr Brown DAC on each channel for powerful dynamics that will keep you on the edge of your seat! The music is just as well maintained as the quality components of the amplifier for a more detailed and natural sound. Yamaha’ s exclusive low-range enhancement technology delivers richer bass than you expect from the speaker size while maintaining good localisation and sound balance even with compact front speakers. When a subwoofer is used, it improves the volume of the entire low range of the speaker system, not only the front speakers, but also enhancing the bass from the subwoofer. You'll enjoy video and music with sound that has exceptional power and presence. Subwoofer Trim for Improved Sound Imaging Even when it is impossible to install surround speakers behind the listening position, Virtual CINEMA DSP reproduces virtual 5-channel surround sound filled with realism, with only two front speakers. With Virtual CINEMA FRONT, you will enjoy virtual 5-channel surround sound with higher quality and resolution by installing surround speakers at the front. You get more flexibility to arrange your speakers inside the room, along with easy enjoyment of high quality surround sound. Extra Bass Provides Rich Bass Reproduction, Even with Small Speakers

Sony IV300 is a 1000W home theatre setup. But, in real life YHT 1840 performs better. TO speak about the bass, the bass in Sony IV 300 is too much. And, the bass is boomy too. The bass in Yamaha is smooth, precise, and layered. Also, the sound quality of the Yamaha setup is leaps better. I played Aerosmith’s, I don’t want to miss a thing, and it sounded gorgeous in stereo mode. The presence of the guitar is well-pleasing, and the coherency of the song is intact.The Subwoofer Trim control enhances the low frequencies by avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This will result in a cleaner, more focused sound stage while providing a seamless frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional systems, the overall sound is “pushed” toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim takes care of this by separating the low subwoofer frequencies cleanly, thus stabilising the front stage while providing a well-balanced enhanced bass sound. OSD with Colour Icons

When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. Yamaha’s Compressed Music Enhancer employs sophisticated digital signal processing using exclusive algorithms to restore what was lost, so the music always sounds the way it should. SCENE for One-Touch Start This AVR has 4 HDMI ports and all are HDCP 2.2 compatible. It also has analog ins, spdif inputs, and optical Toslink inputs. This enables you to connect all sorts of audio-video equipment to it. Enhancer The system comes with a tone control for both bass and treble. You can boost or cut up to 6 db on each. DSP menuIt is a feature particularly available in Yamaha receivers. The algorithm detects the lossy formats like MP3 and it tries to expand it dynamically so that what you hear is better than original. Bass boost Please don’t expect boomy strong bass out of the system. Although you get slightly less in volume as far as bass is concerned, the bass which you get is of good quality and accurate. You can enjoy music and movies a lot with its bass performance. This is the only option that Yamaha YHT 1840 misses. No Bluetooth. Maybe because the Bluetooth system is of inferior quality and is okay for causal listening until the lossless Bluetooth format is introduced. LDAC, AAC, aptX offer great quality compared to A2DP and SBC. However, when this home theatre was designed, the cost to function ratio should have taken a hit and thus they would have excluded bluetooth.
