Manufacturer description
Yamaha's DVX-S60 features a stylish one-piece home theater receiver that also incorporates a versatile DVD player. The system includes six speakers including a center speaker and subwoofer. The versatile electronic heart of the DVX-S60 is a silver home theater receiver/processor providing 30 watts of power to the five main, center and rear speakers, as well as an additional 35W to the subwoofer. The system features excellent sound quality, 6 Surround Programs, 4 Music Programs, Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, Progressive Scan output, CD-R/CD-RW/MP3 playback, AM/FM tuner, and powerful Quad Bass subwoofer. In addition, the single chassis incorporates a sophisticated DVD player. The DVX-S60 incorporates a performance built in DVD player capable of playing DVD-Video, CDs, including CD-R and CD-RW discs, as well as CDs with MP3 tracks, making it a complete entertainment center. The DVX-S60 has several inputs and outputs. Two conventional video inputs - each with an S-Video connector - a composite video output, 2 S-Video outputs, and 1 component video output provide for a variety of video components. An optical and a coaxial digital input as well as a digital output and an analog input/output pair provide capacity for audio-only components. Yamaha's DVX-S60 includes 5.1-channel speaker terminals (2 x main, center, 2 rear and subwoofer). The speaker terminals and cables are color coded for easy connection and set-up. Once you hear true surround sound, you'll wonder why you ever settled for stereo. Listening to Dolby Digital or DTS movies through six speakers in surround sound makes the sound come alive as never before. There are six Surround Programs to choose from, as well as four Music Programs (Rock, Jazz, Pop and Classics). The DVX-S60 comes complete with six speakers (for 5.1 channel sound) that are attractive and compact, yet deliver exceptional clarity and surprising power. The two main, two rear and center speakers are extremely efficient and perfectly balanced. The subwoofer features the same QD-Bass design used by Yamaha's top-line models, for powerful bass response. All speakers are magnetically shielded, so they can be placed on or near a video monitor. To make set-up and operation a breeze, the DVX-S60 provides on-screen display, and has 30 presets (10 AM and 20 FM), making it easy to instantly access your favorite stations.User opinions

bang-forthe-Buck
Pros: Value--picked-up $206 new; plenty of 18g wire clearly labeled; easy wall/ceiling speaker mounting options; Did I mention value?
Cons: While I find it hard to complain about the sound for the price ... I will. Still need to "tweak" levels to try to improve but not a big deal for the room it's in however. Supported DVD/CD formats should be more of a concern if you are planning on making
