Rating: - The very BEST home theater system for under 400 bucks.
I bought this system last week and hooked it up over the weekend and I am more than impressed. The sound quality is better than I could have hoped for in a system this inexpensive rivaling even 'high-end' systems.

Yamaha has crafteed the perfect home theater experience with the YHT-390BL. From the cool-running AV receiver to the wooden speakers and subwoofer this is an amazing system that WILL make your friends green with envy. The receiver's presets are a bit overwhelming however it sports 3 HDMI ports with pass-through (2 in 1 out) up to 1080p. Connections for component and composite video are also available as are two optical ports and one digital coaxial. As some have already mentioned the speaker and subwoofer cables are anemic; you'll want to spend some coin on 16-gauge wire for the speakers and a thicker subwoofer cable too.

I'm stil experimenting with some of the presets but I don't think it's too much to say that this is the best system to had for under 400 bucks.

This is a great system. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before deciding on this system. The unit sounds great. It does not run very hot and was fairly simple to set up although I do have some knowledge of electronics. Some of the reviews state that you have to have separate audio cables from your DVD player or DTV units when using the HDMI cables. Although you can do this you do not have to if you run a toslink cable from you TV Audio out to the reciever. The audio will pass through the reciever to the TV and from the TV to the reciever.

After having owned a dinosaur Yamaha amplifier combination that I bought when I was in the army 25 years ago, I was pleased with my purchase of this unit. I was so pleased with the quility of the C-4/M-4 combination that the Yamaha YHT-390 was the logical choice for me. It has inputs and outputs galore. Many you wont need, but the choices of types of signal input and output are great. I chose this unit for the HDMI cable input which allows a simple single cord from each of your components and TV. I have it mated to a Vizio 37" LCD and a Yamaha HDMI DVD unit. AM and FM reception are superb with the included antennas and 40 preset stations. There are many options of speaker choice from 2 channel straight stereo to 5.1 surround sound and there are 2 separate speaker outs for my massive old dinosaur speakers. Make certain to get the cables you need from Amazon as they are without a doubt the best price anywhere. In addition to HDMI cables, you may need a toslink cable and a coaxial audio cable for highest efficiency.
