SKU: YHT-940
Manufacturer: Yamaha Corp. of America
Manufacturer description
Yamaha developed the YHT-940 Audio/Video Home Theater package to turn your home into a theater. In addition to enhancing the sound of a video source, like your TV, DVD, or VCR, the YHT-940 also superbly reproduces audio sources, such as a CD player or a cassette desk. Product summary
The good: Abundantly featured home-theater package; six 85-watt channels; separate five-disc DVD changer with progressive outputs; seven-piece satellite, powered subwoofer system.
The bad: Setup ergonomics could stand improvement; slow disc swapping.
The bottom line: Some minor usability issues notwithstanding, Yamaha's top HTIB scores well on almost every count.
