I purchase this unit Jan 2012 and thus far I have be very pleased with the purchase . Yamaha recently release the 401bl system and Amazon have it discount almost 50 % so it be a real bargain at just over $ 300 . I have previously own a Phillips -lrb- sorry I do not have the model info any longer -rrb- and VIZIO vht510 system and neither one compare with the sound quality of the Yamaha yht-s400bl . after the first two , suffice it to say that the wife be not thrill with another sound bar , but after she hear it she have agree it be very nice . the UniVolume mode be also a very nice feature and do a tremendous job of tone down the blare commercial . the CEC functionality be not fully functional with my older sharp flatscreen -lrb- tv be to blame not the Yamaha -rrb- but it do work with with my newer Samsung Blueray player . con : after a month of use , there have be one occurrence where a picture be not be display through the unit . I end up have to apply a Windows fix - unplug from the outlet and plug it back in . note : the Receiver\/Subwoofer unit be pretty deep , it just barely fit into the cabinet that we have . this be a buyer beware , look at the measurement closely if you have a shelf\/cabinet you be put it into .
