YAMAHA FOCUSES ON HD PERFORMANCE AND                                    2 
CONVENIENCE WITH LATEST HTIB SYSTEMS 

 

 -MORE- 

Offering seamless operation with high AV performance, all systems feature 

Yamaha’s SCENE modes, a series of four buttons that allow users to instantly ready the 

system for any entertainment experience by powering the unit, selecting the correct input 

and surround sound combination. All systems are compatible with iPods via the optional 

YDS-11 dock (MSRP: $99.95; included with the YHT-791) and Bluetooth devices via the 

Yamaha YBA-10 wireless audio receiver (MSRP: $129.95), two proprietary audio 

technologies, Compressed Music Enhancer to improve sound of “ripped” music files and 

Cinema DSP signal processing. Front panel mini-jacks make it easy to connect portable 

audio players. 

The HD-ready YHT-791 system, featuring a 7.1-channel AV receiver (90W x 7), 

a 7-channel speaker package backed by a 100W powered subwoofer and four 

1080p-compatible HMDI inputs, delivers movies, television and music with powerful 

presence and gripping dynamics. Advanced HD audio format decoding (Dolby TrueHD 

and DTS-HD MasterAudio; Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio), 

Burr-Brown 192 kHz/24-bit DACs for all channels, and a direct mode that bypasses 

non-essential internal circuitry, also make it a standout for HTiB systems at its price 

point. 

 

The YHT-791 offers two-way satellite speakers reinforced by a 10-inch, 

100-watt YST II subwoofer, faithfully rendering every sonic nuance, from subtle quiet 

passages to the most intense moments. In addition to its HDMI connectivity, the system 

delivers analog video upscaling to full HD 1080p and Auto Lip-Sync compensation to 

ensure the picture and sound match up perfectly without requiring the manual adjustment 

of complex settings. Yamaha’s proprietary YPAO technology allows users to 

automatically set up their speakers for optimized sound. The YHT-791 comes with the 

Yamaha YDS-11 iPod dock for high quality audio playback from the portable devices 

through a home entertainment system.
