Surround review overall.
By Matthew N. Tawes
Overall I'm pleased with the YHT-495. The receiver and sub make the cost justified and are nice units however as with most HTIB systems something has to be lacking to achieve the reasonable price and in this case its the speakers. While they do an pretty adequate job the claim of them being 100w thus matching the receiver's max output per channel is false as the box they come in clearly says 80w.The center channel speaker could be a bit improved perhaps with settings but initially I would say that the front speakers and even surround/rears overpower the voice.The sub-woofer does put out some nice bass and coupled with the receivers abilities make this a good buy when compared to other systems.I can see a speaker (at least rear) upgrade in the future but overall this does offer an immersive sound for movie, music and TV in general when 5.1 is offered.

Sounds Awesome
By Derek S. Ferris
I am very much enjoying my new sound system. The set-up was easy and intuitive. The sound is clear, the base is booming, and the system gets very loud. I was debating between a system like this or a sound bar, and I am sure glad I went with this system. I paid a little more, but it was well worth it. The only think I didn't like was that the owners manual comes on a CD which I think is less convenient to use.

Inferior Amplifier
By John S. Klingler
This system has good sound and power but clips badly on some sound tracks. The speakers are excellent and worth the price of the unit alone. I am still looking for a high quality Surround Sound amplifier.Two of the satellite speakers were defective. Yamaha replaced them. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with a Yamaha product, and I have several.It is rated at 600 watts but does not deliver anything approaching that. That rating is most certainly not RMS, which is annoying. My Hafler is rated at 200 watts and blows the Yamaha right out the window.The user interface is difficult to navigate if you want to do more than just turn the volume up or down. It is also buggy. If you adjust the speaker levels, the audio and video disappear and it is a real pain trying to figure out how to get them back. The video can be restored via the HDMI menu. Restoring the audio was a real pain. Eventually I found that turning HDMI control off does this.One disturbing thing is that the TV complains of an invalid sound source. The system plays fine but I don't like wrinkles like that.Whenever you adjust anything, the system in most cases turns Surround Sound off and you have to turn it back on via the remote.The speaker cable connectors are poor quality tab-and-clamp and some of them don't clamp very well. Yamaha should have used RCA connectors. I understand why they didn't because the length of the cable will vary with the installation. Alternatively, they should have used the screw-down connectors they used for the center speaker.Yamaha Support has been unresponsive to my request for wall mounts for the speakers. Universal mounts such as Videosecu will not fit despite their claim. I am left with a half installed Surround Sound system.Here are my ratings:Sound quality: ****Power: **Ease of use: *Setup: **Customer Support: **
