The Onkyo HT-S3200 compares favorably to the package Yamaha announced recently. The HT-S3200 offers one more HDMI input over the comparable priced Yamaha YHT-391BL, although Yamaha's system steps-up to two-way satellite speakers. Neither system features automatic speaker calibration, which seems like an oversight even on these inexpensive systems.
Features
- Total 660W (110 W / channel) with a Powerfull 8-inch Subwoofer
- Three 1080p capable HDMI inputs (V1.3a Pass-Thru*)
- Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ to Maintain Optimal Listening Level
