5 out of 5 stars Non-techie review - WOW - perfect sound   November 22, 2008
lawyerwhocooks (Atlanta, GA USA)
First and foremost, be sure to obtain the iPod docking station with this system (assuming you have an iPod/MP3 player, that is). We bought one of the Sony Bravia HD TV systems, and decided to go with the Yamaha sound system since it was recommended by our techie friends. WOW. After wiring our film room/play room for surround sound, I cannot express to you the near orgasmic experience of docking in my iPod and dancing like there is no tomorrow to the sound experience provided by the Yamaha HTR-6130. For the money, this is a FIVE STAR system. Love it, absolutely love it. Recommended.

(Note to the wives/SOs shopping for gifts: if you're buying this as a gift or you suspect your significant other is, and he is not a techie or electrician, please spend the money for an installer. You will be sooo much happier without a cranky, cursing partner stalking around the house wondering why all the speakers don't work. Listen to the voice of experience here. :-))

Fantastic sound. Many sound enhancement options. Easy to set up. Well worth the money and had more options/features that the current equivalent model. Replaced an eight year old Sony with it. No comparison.

First I confess. I am technically challenged--I have trouble working a cell phone. But the manual was VERY detailed, if somewhat overwhelming, and the connections were easy because of labels and diagrams. As mentioned, the HDMI connection only passes the audio through to the TV--will not route it to the surround sound speakers.

So I knew I needed a second audio connection for my dvd and cable inputs, but I still had trouble getting any sound from the speakers from my DVD player and had to call tech support. They explained that this unit was designed before HDMI and that the connections were added later as a pass-through for convenience. I wondered why they would have designed it that way to start with--turns out they didn't! But all is well that ends well.

Tech support was EXCELLENT. Although I had connected everything properly (digital coax audio cable for DVD), they walked me through the set up menu choices to get the sound working properly. They even helped me with the settings on my Sony blue ray player! Saving the setup via scene buttons will allow me to to recover the settings without remembering the details.

The first movie I watched, I thought I was in a theater!

Excellent clarity and sound reproduction. Very impressive audio modes (about 8 different modes to choose from).

Only video is passed out through HDMI port (dont know why audio was left out - thats why i gave it 4 stars). Need to input optical or coax in addition for digital audio. And also does not upconvert (they dont claim the feature exists either).

Not too hard to setup, happy with purchase!
