Just come through on the VIP e-mail. Seems a lot of kit for £200 if you don't need highend.
The Yamaha YHT1810 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 YHT1810 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 an uncanny 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 uses discrete (separate) components rather than an IC chip for a more detailed and nuanced sound.
Well connected Four 3D-compatible HDMI sockets ensure the Yamaha YHT1810 is all set for linking up either 3D or conventional sources. It also allows 4K Ultra HD pass-through, ensuring it's fully equipped for the future of 4K TV. There's also support for an Audio Return Channel, letting you feed back the sound from your TV through the home cinema speakers with just one HDMI cable. In addition, a range of both digital and analogue inputs cater for other sources.
Feature-packed and easy to use The Yamaha is really simple to use. The SCENE function automatically selects the ideal setting for the relevant input, whether you're watching films or listening to music. As this is a Yamaha, it has 17 different effects not available with other AV receivers. Another impressive feature is Compressed Music Enhancer, which improves the sound from MP3 sources such as computer audio or iPods, giving them enhanced detail at the top end and lower bass.
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 YHT1810 brings it together with style.

Heated. Really great system for the money - bought one last time it hit this price (£199).
Links through to a price of £299, but the email says "Mention this email instore to qualify" for the £199 price. So presumably it's instore only at that price, and only if you 'mention this email'. No suggestion that you have to produce the email, but last time round that did seem to be necessary.

are you sticking with the speakers which came with it? If so, what are they like please? I'm really tempted by this

I got this kit as a straight swap under extended guarantee (with three months to go from a five year purchase!) about nine months ago. It's a perfectly good as a starter set-up. Sound quality good throughout all speakers and a doddle to set up. I'd strongly suggest you also take the extended warranty out too as warranties go it's impressive.

Perfectly happy with them - and it's a large room with a very high ceiling.

I bought these speakers a while back now, and they are very good for home cinema, very clear audio and great bass, centre is really good for dialogue

Heat as it is such a cheap way for someone to get going with surround sound kit. Doesn't seem like it has WiFi or even wired online facilities though. Not essential for many but could be a factor. Still a massive bargain.

I also bought this on offer last time am really pleased neighbours ain't, changed two front speakers for 100w ones I already had only for playing music through two channels just works better for me.
It's HEAT from me :sunglasses:

so you're running in purely 2 channel now? Are your 100w speakers a vast improvement on the included yamahas?

Only run on two channels when booming tunes through Pc all other times it's set on 5.1. The speakers I changed are the same wattage jus to me sound better when turned right up but some times use other setting depends on how it sounds ( to me ). My twenty year old sonny 5.1 1000w died well fried it. Only had a small budget at the time & did a bit of research & went with this one & no regrets. Can't go wrong with 200 bar took a little time playing with the setting to get it to my liking.

I cannot see why anyone would want to play stereo music mirrored through rear speakers in a pseudo 5.1 Dolby Pro Logic setup anyway. Dedicated multichannel music mixes from the likes of SACD/DVD-A/BD-A or multichannel FLAC obviously.

I think he's playing music 2 channel

He is, I was just commenting that I do not understand why people would want to play 2 channel music in a pseudo surround anyway.

I agree. Really want to hear some of the purposefully surround mastered music

Do you have a SACD player?

I find "all speaker surround" to be enjoyable sometimes depending on the source, etc. Problem with pseudo multichannel it usually creates an echo type effect, the rears can be underutilized a lot. It doesn't add to the experience.

how can it be expired? it's an instore deal.
sounds great. did you pair the speakers with a different AV receiver then? Did you buy stands for the rear speakers? or did you have some suitable furniture to place them on?

Stands for the rear speakers to go behind my sofa, I used it with a Yamaha RXV381 which I am gogin to upgrade soon to something more substantial but the speakers have been great, esp with a decent digital source.

sounds great, do you mind me asking which stands you have?
I picked up 2 Boston Acoustic A23 cheap and could perhaps use those as the fronts. If they don't match well I will use them elsewhere.
Thing I'm reading about this amp is this HDCP 2.2 business. I've an Xbox One S and am now not sure where I stand.

Trail & error bud, the Yamaha speakers are OK & 100 watt jus my fronts sound better to me.

From what I've read I understand I Can't output from the Xbox One S using HDMI due to this reciever not being HDCP2.2 compliant.
can anyone tell me what the difference is between outputting sound from the xbox one s via optical vs hdmi please?
kreames to joshtbh
3 Aug 17#20
No difference. i think and u can pass xbox signal through as it has 4k pass tgrough. I have my standars xbox one through hdmi on this system
joshtbh to kreames
3 Aug 17#23
Although it has 4k pass through I've read tonight that the Xbox one s has its 4k HDCP 2.2 content restricted so it won't appear on a non HDCP2.2 device which this yamaha isnt
Regarding the audio via optical though, are you sure theres no difference?
Further question on av receivers generally, is it easy to switch from multi channel to stereo using only 2 speakers? Eg if you go from playing a game in 5. 1 to watching Holly oaks, can you turn off three other speakers?
