OVERVIEW

It is generally accepted that in order to fully enjoy the benefits of surround sound at home, you must endure the agony of wiring and installing a great number of speakers in the hope that your listening room will give you the same kind of surround sound experience as your local movie theater.

YAMAHA YSP-800 Digital Sound Projector challenges this preconception that complicated speaker setup and troublesome wiring go hand-in-hand with the enjoyment of multi-channel surround sound.

This slimline unit does away with the need for complicated wiring and installation worries, leaving you with a unit that is not only easy to set up, but which is also capable of reproducing the kind of powerful surround sound you have been waiting for from its built-in subwoofers (2) and individual speakers (21).

You can fine-tune the parameters of this unit to adjust the delay time for separate sound beams, resulting in highly directional sound that comes in on the listening position from all directions.

The YSP-800 projects sound beams containing surround sound information for the front right (R), front left (L), surround right (SR) and surround left (SL) speaker positions, which are reflected off the walls of your listening room before reaching the actual listening position. With the addition of center (C) sound beams, this Digital Sound Projector creates true-to-life 5.1 channel surround sound that makes you feel as if there are actual speakers around the room.

Sit back and enjoy the real sound experience of this simple, yet stylish Digital Sound Projector.

2Insert the two supplied batteries (AA, R6, UM-3) into the battery compartment.

Make sure you insert the batteries according to the polarity markings (+/–).

3Close the battery cover.

Notes

Change all of the batteries if you notice the following conditions; the operation range of the remote control decreases, the indicator does not blink or its light becomes dim.

Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as these different types of batteries may have the same shape and color.

Exhausted batteries may leak. If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

Do not throw away batteries with general house waste. Dispose of them correctly in accordance with your local regulations.

The contents of the memory stored in the remote control may be erased in the following cases:

The remote control is left without batteries for more than 2 minutes.

Exhausted batteries remain in the remote control.

The buttons on the remote control are accidentally pressed when you change batteries.

If the memory stored in the remote control is unwantedly erased, insert new batteries and reset the remote control codes again.

Notes

Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.

Do not drop the remote control.

Do not leave or store the remote control in the following types of conditions:

places of high humidity, such as near a bath

places of high temperatures, such as near a heater or a stove

places of extremely low temperatures

dusty places

Do not expose the remote control sensor on this unit to direct sunlight or lighting such as inverted fluorescent lamps.

If the batteries grow old, the effective operation distance of the remote control decreases considerably. If this happens, replace the batteries with two new ones as soon as possible.

AUTO SETUP

This unit creates a sound field by reflecting sound beams on the walls of your listening room and broadening the cohesion between speaker channels. Just as you would arrange the speaker position of other audio systems, you need to set the beam angle to enjoy the best possible sound from this unit.

This unit employs the beam optimization feature and the YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology with the aid of the supplied optimizer microphone, allowing you to avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieving highly accurate sound adjustments that best match your listening environment.

The beam optimization is the automated feature of BASIC SETUP, which creates the best possible surround sound field without manually setting the parameters for your listening room.

The YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology performs the following checks and automatically makes appropriate sound adjustments.

DISTANCE:

Checks the phase and the distance of each beam from this unit and adjusts the delay of each channel so that each sound beam reaches the listening position at the same time.

EQUALIZING:

Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel’s parametric equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and create a cohesive sound field. YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three parameters (frequency, level and Q factor) for each of the seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.

LEVEL:

Checks and adjusts the sound output level of each channel.

AUTO SETUP

Installing the optimizer microphone

The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound that this unit produces in your actual listening environment. Follow the procedure below to connect the optimizer microphone to this unit and make sure that the optimizer microphone is placed in a proper location and that there are no large obstacles between the optimizer microphone and the walls in your listening room.

Notes

After you have completed the AUTO SETUP procedure, be sure to disconnect the optimizer microphone.

The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat.

Keep it away from direct sunlight.

Do not place it on top of this unit.

Do not connect the optimizer microphone to an extension cable as doing so may result in an inaccurate sound optimization.

An error may occur during the AUTO SETUP procedure if the optimizer microphone is not properly placed in your listening room. To avoid the possibility of an error:

Do not place the optimizer microphone to the extreme right or left from the center of this unit.

Do not place the optimizer microphone within 2 m from the front of this unit.

Do not place the optimizer microphone more than 1 m from the center height of this unit.

Make sure that there are no obstacles between the optimizer microphone and the walls in your listening room as these objects obstruct the path of sound beams. However, any objects that are in contact with the walls will be regarded as a protruding part of the walls.

The best possible results are achieved if the optimizer microphone is placed at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position. However, if this is not possible, you can manually fine-tune the sound beam angle and balance the sound beam output levels using MANUAL SETUP (see page 63) once the AUTO SETUP procedure is completed.

If a subwoofer with adjustable volume and crossover/high cut frequency controls is connected to this unit, set the volume between 9 and 12 o’clock as viewed on a conventional clockface and set the crossover/high cut frequency to the maximum.

Note

Be sure to place the optimizer microphone on an imaginary center line drawn from this unit.

You may want to use a tripod or the supplied cardboard microphone stand to affix the optimizer microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position.
