BUENA PARK, Calif., July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The ultimate unboxing awaits. Today, Yamaha is releasing its brand-new home theater in a box, the YHT-5960U. This all-in-one solution – complete with a 4K/120Hz AV receiver, speakers and wiring connections for a surround sound experience – easily transforms your home into an entertainment mecca for movies, music, gaming and more.

Built on the foundation of the performance and power you can expect from Yamaha, the YHT-5960U is a complete home theater system, designed to support the latest trends and specifications for home entertainment. This includes future support for 4K/120Hz, 8K/60bHz, HDMI 2.1 and HDR10+ to usher in a new era of dynamic displays and endless possibilities for what can be seen and heard at home.

The YHT-5960U offers five channels of surround sound, plus a complete speaker set with connections to get you from setup to immersion in a matter of minutes. Whether you're 4K-ready today or preparing for 8K to come, this home theater system is built to support and pass through the highest resolution content available. All four HDMI inputs on the AV receiver support 4K/120Hz and 8K/60bHz, via firmware update. Couple that picture quality with the authentic True Sound expression that Yamaha is uniquely positioned to understand and recreate, and no one puts you in the center of the action more – from recreating an immersive movie theater or live concert setting to the ultimate gaming experience – all from the comfort of your home.

"It's never been easier to bring the theater home," said Alex Sadeghian, director, Consumer Audio, Yamaha Corporation of America. "The YHT-5960U comes complete with everything you need for immersive viewing and gaming experiences – from speakers and interconnects, all the way down to the latest audio and video processing technology. Get ready to usher in a new era of dynamic displays with thrilling audio."

The YHT-5960U features the iconic new look for Yamaha AV receivers, with a simplified, modern design, high-resolution LCD display and a jog dial with touch-sensitive buttons.

The modern look is matched by capabilities and support for the most stunning audio and visual experiences available. This includes HDMI 2.1 compatibility, providing faster, smoother and uninterrupted entertainment and gameplay with auto low latency mode (ALLM), variable refresh rates (VRR), quick frame transport (QFT) and quick media switching (QMS). This is especially helpful for compatibility not only with Ultra HD TVs and emerging 8K setups, but also in preparation for the newest gaming platforms. Additional support includes Dolby Vision, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

The ready-to-assemble system comes complete with speaker connections and five speakers: a left, right and center channel speaker, a surround left and right speaker, and a power subwoofer, for immersive bass.

The YHT-5960U features the entire suite of MusicCast capabilities and app control, including Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, built-in music streaming services, multi-room audio and voice control via Alexa, Google and Siri-enabled devices.
