Home Theater in a Box (HTiB) Deal: Yamaha YHT-S400 Soundbar, Receiver: $349.95

By Rachel Cericola

You've got the big HDTV. However, the video is only half of a good audio/video setup. Those teeny speakers that come with the TV just aren't going to cut it when it comes to creating a cool movie or TV-viewing experience.

Amazon thinks it's time for an audio upgrade. Even better, the online retailer is making that purchase an easy one, slashing 42 percent off the cost of the Yamaha YHT-S400 Home Theater System. At last look, Amazon had this complete, compact audio package listed for just $349.95, including free shipping. Find out more about this deal and the setup on Amazon's product page:

The YHT-S400 includes a compact soundbar system and a subwoofer-integrated receiver all in one package. That's right - the receiver has a built-in subwoofer.  How cool is that?  (answer: very cool).  That super-slim soundbar measures a mere two inches high and can be easily wall-mounted, but it still manages to pack in three 1.5-by-3.75-inch drivers and deliver a full sound experience.

The receiver is no slouch, either. Because this component has a 5-inch cone woofer and resonant chamber built in, you don't need to add on a subwoofer to have a complete sound system. That means no extra components or cables are needed. It also makes for a clean installation, because this entire audio system can go into a rack and off the floor.  Just make sure your rack is not made of flimsy particle board, otherwise this bass-loving bad boy may bring it to its knees.

Using linear PCM transmission, the YHT-S400 can be paired up with almost any Blu-ray player or with external set top boxes or gaming systems. Extended Stereo mode helps deliver a wider sound, while UniVolume can maintain a consistent volume level when switching between sources, or when those commercials come through at twice the volume of your TV program.

Other features include full support for 3D pass-through, a built-in FM tuner, and HDMI-CEC support so it can power up on demand whenever you power up your TV or Blu-ray player. The receiver sports three HDMI inputs, so you can connect a variety of AV devices.

To get the low price, you need to make sure that you are buying this package from Amazon.com, and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. The price also includes free shipping. Don't worry if it's out of stock.  Amazon is honoring all orders and will ship the unit to you as soon as it's back in stock.  Order now and it should arrive in time to put under the tree.
