Yamaha Home Theater in a Box

 Yamaha makes several Home Theater in a box systems that do a fine job.  But if you want HD audio and own a blu-ray player that decodes the HD audio codec's (ps3 does) this is one of the best home theater systems in a box that you can get. The Yamaha YHT-790BL system comes with the Yamaha 6140 receiver that does accept PCM (HD audio) via HDMI. This is not a pass through system it accepts audio via HDMI unlike most home theater in a box systems. 

The Yamaha 6140 receiver has 4 SCENE, YPAO and iPod & Satellite Radio Compatibility, plus Five Speakers and a 130W Subwoofer. XM Satellite Radio Ready allows you to hear over 170 digital channels of music, news, sports, talk and entertainment. The YHT-790BL is also SIRIUS Satellite Radio Ready for 100% commercial-free music, plus superior sports coverage, uncensored talk and comedy, exclusive entertainment, world-class news and more. Two volume-setting functions are including on this receiver for additional convenience. This system features dual HDMI inputs and one output that can handle all HD format including 720p, 1080i and 1080p so you can connect two HDMI sources, such as a DVD player and a high definition set-top box, and enjoy the highest possible quality with an HD display. You have a choice of eight unique Yamaha CINEMA DSP surround programs to bring out the full audio potential of your entertainment sources.

Actually Yamaha has several complete home theater systems in a box plus some lower priced surround sound speaker systems.  If you're in the market for a real "Kick Butt" home theater system, look at the Yamaha RX-V663BL 7.2 Receiver bundled with the Klipsch Cinema8 Entertainment system.  This is truly a "High-End" home theater system.
