Yamaha YHT1840 (Black)
AV Receiver & 5.1 Speaker Package
£499
The Yamaha YHT1840 provides ideally matched speakers and an AV receiver for a fantastic introduction to home cinema.
Home cinema sound made easy
Connect your TV, Blu-ray/DVD player and games console to the Yamaha YHT1840 and you're ready for the full cinema experience. With built-in Dolby and DTS digital processors, the YHT1810 fires out sound effects around the room for a real sense of 'being there'. Sound is processed by192/24-bit Burr Brown DACs on each channel for powerful dynamics that'll keep you on the edge of your seat! Music is equally well looked after as the amp quality components for a more detailed and natural sound.
Fully immersive sound
Soundbars are great but there's nothing that can beat the sound of a separates AV system. With five channels of sound from a discrete amplifier, the YHT1840 surrounds you in rich, low distortion sound – just like at the cinema. The amplifier also delivers a handy 70 watts per channel, meaning it can cope with even the punchiest-sounding blockbusters. There’s also an 'Extra Bass' function. This gives a deeper, richer bass response and works really well with small speakers and at lower volume levels.
Ready for the latest UHD sources
For full compatibility with the exciting new UHD Blu-ray format, all the HDMI sockets are compatible with HDR Video, Hybrid Log-Gamma, and BT.2020. Four inputs let you connect up a Blu-ray, games console, set-top box and PC – enough for an entire home cinema system.
Flexible processing
Another advantage of going for AV separates is the inclusion of powerful surround sound processing. As well as full HD audio decoding of both Dolby and DTS formats, the YHT1840 features Yamaha's famous DSP Surround programs. With 17 modes from The Roxy Theatre to a concert Hall in Munich, the Yamaha system gives a variety of acoustic settings for a unique sound. Added to this, four SCENE selections ensure that you always have the best setting when watching films or listening to music.
Sleek curved speakers
With an eye to enhancing the coolest of interiors, the satellite speakers have been designed to be unobtrusive. Slim enough to be wall mounted via their keyhole openings, they also benefit from a tapering rear panel and smooth edges. The centre speaker is a dedicated design with improved sensitivity and crisp dialogue and is also easily wall mounted. The subwoofer gives the bass a natural, powerful sound that avoids bass 'boom'.
For a quality home cinema system that doesn't sacrifice sound for good looks, the Yamaha YHT1840 brings it together with style.

Excellent system
Bought this to replace my old Panasonic surround system and am very glad I did. Easy set up after downloading full instructions which didn't really come packed with it, just basic set up .

Good sound with lots of options
Bought to replace a Yamaha sound bar with pseudo surround sound and it definitely is an improvement.
Takes quite a bit of setting up to get the best balance of sound but well worth it.
Lots of options in the various menus. Took me a while to realise that you need to set up a turn on volume I kept thinking it was not working. I had an older Dolby Pro logic amp and the one thing I miss is the abilty to control centre speaker volume etc with a single press on the remote. Not sure why anybody would want a radio on the amp in this day and age. Still playing around with it to understand the options in full. If I could rate out of 10 it would probably be 9

Brilliant product
Had this system a couple of weeks now and it’s amazing, beats my previous systems hands down. The sound is so clear with fantastic bass. Easy to set up using an ARC lead it has plenty of pr-sets or you can set it manually. It sounds great straight out of the box but just set the speakers up correctly ie how far away each speaker is and the levels and it will blow your mind. Rang the shop in Leeds just for a little advise on setting up and they were brilliant. All in all the system is awesome and the service you get from Richer Sounds is second to none.

Great value and excellent sound
Bought this just over a week ago, glad I did.
I know you shouldn't buy any Entertainment system just because it's cheap but this speaker system happens to work so well and it is such value. Yamaha is a name everyone knows so you feel safe straight away. The amp has sound options so you are able to find your own personal settings according to the room. In the set up you can set the distance each speak is from your seating podition, which makes the sound perfect for you. It will also help with cable management because I used hdmi splitters to connect equipment to my projector now one cable goes to the projector the rest are in the amp. It recognised what I plugged in which helps setup. I bought rear stands for the surround speakers which is advised to get the angles right. Another bonus was the tuner which gives excellent musical sound and a choice of dsp settings if you want to experiment. Most surround sound systems of quality start well over £1000 so this is fantastic value and quality equipment.
If I want to be picky the sub woofer isn't as powerful but we are talking minor issues so buy this without a doubt you won't regret it.
