Yamaha has announced the release of its latest home-theater-in-a-box products. The YHT-3920UBL ($480), YHT-4920UBL ($530), and YHT-5920UBL ($700) all feature 4K pass-through and Bluetooth.

"HTiB systems are a convenient way to get true theater-style surround sound and ours go the extra mile, providing the latest features like Bluetooth and 4K Ultra HD video support for a wider selection of home entertainment options," said Bob Goedken, general manager, AV Division, Yamaha Corporation of America.

All three systems offer 5.1 setups with Yamaha receivers and 100-watt subwoofers. Likewise, each model includes support for 4K Ultra HD video pass-through at 60p 4:2:0 and HDCP 2.2 copyright protection. In addition, the systems feature wireless Bluetooth music playback, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding, Yamaha's YPAO automatic calibration, and the company's Compressed Music Enhancer. Finally, the top-of-the-line YHT-5920UBL also includes built-in Wi-Fi, AirPlay, vTuner Internet radio, music streaming services like Pandora and Spotify, and high-resolution audio support from networked components, PCs, or USB.
