The Yamaha YHT-S400 Home Theater Package is a unique theater design with a subwoofer-integrated receiver and an extremely slim front speaker that fits in front of almost any TV.

The YHT-S400's sound bar stands at 2"" high and fits in front of most 32 to 50"" TVs without blocking the screen. In addition, the feet of the sound bar can be adjusted horizontally or vertically, or taken off entirely, for additional installation flexibility. By integrating the system's subwoofer into the receiver, Yamaha is able to offer users an easy connection to a full-featured receiver without adding a separate component and the ability to place the unit in a rack or on the floor in tight spaces.

The UniVolume technology maintains a consistent volume level between different channels, programs, commercials and input sources. When watching TV while using UniVolume, the volume of commercials will not be louder than the program being viewed. The same is true when switching sources to watch a DVD or Blu-ray movie or to listen to music on CD. This is particularly helpful for late night watching and listening when spikes in volume can startle other viewers.

With 7-channel discrete inputs, AM/FM tuner and connectivity to virtually any A/V source, your entertainment choices are endless with Yamaha's YHT-S400.

UniVolume
UniVolume is a Yamaha-developed technology that maintains a consistent volume level between different channels, programs, commercials and input sources. For instance, when watching TV while using UniVolume, the volume of commercials will not be louder than the program being viewed. The same is true when switching sources to watch a DVD or Blu-ray movie or to listen to music on CD. This is particularly helpful for late night watching and listening when spikes in volume can disturb others in the house or apartment building

HDMI
With the ability to deliver crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience. HDMI can provide an interface between most audio/video sources, such as a set-top box, Blu-ray player, DVD player, or A/V receiver and a video monitor, such as a High Definition Television (HDTV), over a single cable

Air Surround Xtreme
Achieves surround sound with clarity and sound imaging unlike any other two-speaker system. You can hear clear dialogue from the front, with distinctly separate surround sounds and smooth movement around the sound field.

7.1 Channel: The Air Surround Xtreme has employed a newly developed virtual 7.1 channel technology that can independently recreate the surround-channel and surround-back-channel in stereo. The result of it is the clearly and amazingly identifiable sound sources from various directions.

Position Mode: This mode is capable of shifting the most effective listening spot on the row while keeping the sound field of multi-channel programming. The amazing ability to shift the best listening point by a mere balance adjustment has enabled the system to provide an ideal surround effect, even when listening not exactly in between two speakers.

Wide Mode: The ""Wide Mode"" is for two to three people listening laterally. Our original technology, ""multi-points cross talks canceling"" process, has enabled the system to create a comfortable surround feeling in a much larger area, adding a further value to the Air Surround Xtreme for the enjoyment with more than two people
