Shoppers typically review a variety of products when considering speaker sound and performance. The oval center speaker featured on the Yamaha YHT-S401BL Home Theater System produces volume clarity for a wide area. Deep tones from the subwoofer provide clear bass levels. Six surround modes on this 7.1 channel surround sound system allow the viewer to select the level that fits the content and genre of music. It is quite expensive, leading some buyers to look for something similar and more affordable.
A couple of features cause consumers to look again because of their benefits. The first is a volume control that actually keeps commercials and programs at the same level. Instead of keeping the remote close at hand to adjust sound just set one level. The ability to share favorite songs by using the USB digital connection to play the latest download on the iPod is another advantage.
