Sorry no idea. I do know that I would shop around. I have sound problems with mine. Crackling speakers. And neither Amazon nor Yamaha will help.

The best way to find all the differences is to go to Yamaha's site and download the user manual. It is for both models and you will see the features that one has versus the other.

Hi Nicole, its been a while since I looked into this but my recollection was this was basically the same unit. However, I must say I am totally disappointed in the unit. The sound isn't great, coming from 4 small plastic speakers. And worse, after a few months the screen on my tv went into shades of purple, and then within a few days went completely purple. When I switched source to the bluray player, the screen wasn't purple anymore...it went blue! The sound came through but couldn't see the picture. I disconnected the system and all went back to normal. Beware!

The Yamaha web site lists the details of all the models, http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/hometheater-systems/home-theater-package/yht-597/?mode=modelOne of the features that were added is AirPlay which allows you to play music/video your iPhone through the unit with out any physical connection. I have used this and it works very well.

Here is the side-by-side comparison chart I used to compare the two before I made my purchase. . .http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/hometheater-systems/home-theater-package/?selected=377425_377422_&mode;=compare.Like Solomon Fried wrote the 597 can handle an iPad. It also has a port for Internet Radio but you have to buy the receiver/antenna for it. None of that was important to me. I got the 597 because from the above link I was sure it had 3D sound.

I looked at both system filters and they are the same, so no difference I see.

There's only one notable difference. The 5875 came with a 3 year limited warranty, while the 6244 comes with a 5 year limited warranty. The other "difference" is that the sales documentation for the 6244 points out the "capability of being installed within 18 inches of a building". However this is no different than the 5875 when you look at the installation documentation. (Those tricky sales people.)

The 3149400 is a suitable substition for the 311857. The main difference between the two is amp rating and the amp rating on the 3149400 is adequate.

I can not answer this question as I returned the product immediately,I believe that this product is advertised as a complete system and it is not.

Interesting...after recommending it, a friend recently asked me the same question. I couldn't see a difference, so I called Hamilton Beach to find out. I was told that they are basically the same...just different release dates. The 33967 began a release date in 2007 and the 33967A has a release date of 2013. Hope this helps.

I really don't know the difference, but what I bought works fine, and I have not had any problems. If ever there is added software, just delete the installation program after you have it running, but keep the disc in case of any failures or having to reinstall.

unfortunately i do not know. i have the system, and as far as i am concerned it is junk, but it will suffice for now.

The difference between the two units is output and coverage area. The 697-500 is rated at 11 gallons of output per day covering 2,300 sq ft whereas the 697-500HB covers 2,500 sq ft with a daily output rating of 12 gallons.

Correct on the i5/7 number but not sure about that last digit. I read on other sites that the last digit corresponds to Windows 7 Home (1) or Professional (2). In discussions with B&H; they said the only difference was the OS but both have 128 gig SSD

Honestly, I cannot tell any difference. I called the Microsoft Store and they don't have different versions. Strange.

they are different computers. almost the same. I think one has a better processor or ram speed. you should try googling it. If I try to explain the whole thing it would take forever. remember the higher number of processor speed and ram the better. good luck

Agree that every system is different, but it would appear to be the same specifications. Amazon is pretty good about returning if it doesn't fit your system. Sorry - best answer I can give.

I contacted customer service regarding this issue and they told me there was no difference between the two units. The numbers are different because they are marketed to different types of retailers.

it is a core 3 system. which has been great for the things i need it to do. this is plenty enough for the average user. hope this helps you. brian

First off, the 4960x came out in September 2013, and the 3970x was released in Nov 2012! They are both unlocked, so on that level they are the same. The 4960x is a 3.6Ghz (Turbo 4GHz), the 3970x is a 3.5Ghz (turbo 4GHz), so the 4960x is a LITTLE faster Ghz wise on standard setting, not turbo mode. The 3970x can be overclocked a little more than 4960x. 4960x Overclock Speed (4.75GHz) vs. 3970x Overclock Speed (4.99GHz). HOWEVER, The 4960x single core & multi core performance is better than the 3970x. The 4960x uses slightly less power (105.63w) vs the 3970x (121.88w). When all is said and done, the 4960x is slightly better than the 3960x. IF you have the money, I'd go with the 4960x as it is slightly better on MOST benchmarking programs. As you can see they are VERY, VERY SIMILAR. The 4960x is better, but only slightly! I know its a lot of money, but I'd go with the 4960x if you have the money to spend... If not, then I'd stick with the 3970x! I hope this is useful and helps! Thanks, Andrew PS. The first time I answered the question I thought you said 1960x, so I had to redo the answer - sorry about that. Hope that didn't create a problem for you. If you have any other questions, you are more than welcome to go to my website and ask me a question there: cuttingedgellc dot biz. Go to the contact portion of the site and I'm happy to give you the tech spec's sheet that I have on those 2 proc's and a lot more info if needed! Again, sorry for the trouble!

Sean,Our systems use only standard parts, so upgrading is easy! Also, proper installation of hardware, that does not damage the system, will *not* void your warranty.
