I was looking at the VS-10 and went to the Yamaha website.

They have listed a HTiB-40 package which is made up of a amp/receiver RX-V420RDS and speakers Ns-P220. I can get these at unbeatable for just over £350 and have the option of taking a seperates route later.

Has anyone any knowledge or experience with these products or is the VS-10 the way to go.

Hi,
I was looking for a `cheap` DD5.1& DTS home cinema setup and narrowed it down to

SONY HTK475 (general comments were that it sounded `tinny`) £350
VIDEOLOGIC DTS (good system by all accounts, but after seeing it in Comet I didn`t like the look and build quality £350`ish + Speaker brackets extra £20)
YAMAHA HTiB40 (Probably a good system, didn`t get any responses on this forum about it before my Credit Card buying frenzy kicked in :-)£350 as you know
YAMAHA VS-10 (£299.99 from leconcepts)
Very nice looking unit (compared to Videologic+HTiB40 IMHO), also sounds very good to me (but then I`ve only ever had a stereo + TV, nothing in the surround stakes, prologic etc)

I figured that since I didn`t want the tuner and all that jazz for seperates I`d just go for the VS-10 `Home Cinema Setup`, looks + sounds cool sitting next to my PS2. Oh! and the remote is an all-in-one job so you can work TV, VCR + SAT off it too, bonus!

Thanks Jpf, but has anyone used the Yam RX-V420RDS. What are the benefits of the V620RDS that seems to be favoured by many on this site.
