Reviews of the Yamaha YHT-670

CNET Review
The Good: Home theater in a box including component-grade A/V receiver with generous connectivity options, full-size DVD changer, wall-mountable minisatellite speakers and powered 8-inch subwoofer; XM Satellite Radio capability with HD Surround; optional iPod dock.
The Bad: Curiously, you get only five satellites with this 6.1-channel A/V receiver, and the system lacks automatic setup (speaker calibration) and HDMI output. You also may need to use separate remotes--one for the receiver, one for the DVD player.
The Bottom Line: The compact speakers of Yamaha's YHT-670 home-theater-in-a-box not only mimic the sound of HTIBs with tower speakers, the sound can be upgraded down the road with better speakers.
