The budget entry to Yamaha's YHT line, the Yamaha YHT-390 home theater system offers a somewhat stripped down roster of features, but the same 5.1 surround sound experience. The receiver still features both Dolby Digital and dts Digital Surround, as well as Yamaha's proprietary CinemaDSP processing, which manages each speaker individually for more accurate reproduction of the original sound. The YHT-390 is iPod and Bluetooth device ready with optional accessories, and still features the same SCENE control system for easy playback and simple set-up as the other players in the line.
