Yamaha is renowned for delivery high-end audio, and the YHT491BL Home Theater in a Box lives up to that reputation.
Get ready to annoy the neighbors, or rather delight them with the incredible sound quality produced by the Yamaha YHT491BL Home Theater in a Box system. This system features Yamaha's exclusive Cinema DSP digital sound processing for outstanding sound quality. According to Yamaha:
Conventional multichannel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects from ideally located in these separate sound fields, you will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater! The decoding circuitry performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-ES (DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 and DTS-ES Discrete 6.1), DTS Neo:6 and DTS 96/24 decoding with extreme accuracy, as well as all digital sound field processing.
