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’s YSP-1 Digital Sound Projector challenges this preconception that complicated speaker set up and
troublesome wiring go hand-in-hand with the enjoyment of multi-channel surround sound.

OVERVIEW
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 (40).
You can use this unit’s parameters to fine tune the delay time for separate sound beams, resulting in highly directional
sound that comes in on the listening position from all directions.
The YSP-1 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.
Further, you can change the way in which these beams are projected at your walls (the beam mode) to match the contents
of the program you are watching or your listening environment, giving you a virtual surround sound experience for both
stereo and 5.1-channel playback.
This unit’s SET MENU can be displayed on your TV screen, allowing you to customize this unit to suit your listening
environment. Set up is straight forward using the MEMORY or EASY SETUP menus. MEMORY allows you to load
preset listening environment parameters for quick setup. EASY SETUP is an easy-to-follow setup method for first-time
users. In addition, the MANUAL SETUP menu offers advanced parameters for the surround sound enthusiast who wants
to make individual adjustments for each speaker position.
This highly-advanced projector supports a wide range of sound technology, including Dolby Digital, a basic audio format
for DVDs, Dolby Pro Logic for the reproduction of true-to-life sound, and DTS for playback of the best possible sound
clarity.
Equipped with two optical digital, one coaxial digital and two analog input jacks, the YSP-1 allows you to expand your
system through the direct connection of external components, such as a DVD player.

OVERVIEW
Selecting a listening room
This unit creates surround sound by reflecting projected sound beams off the walls of your listening room. The surround
sound effects produced by this unit may not be sufficient when the unit is installed in the following locations:
• Rooms with surfaces inadequate for reflecting sound beams
• Rooms with acoustically absorbent surfaces
• Rooms with measurements outside the range: (3 to 7 m) × (2 to 3.5 m) × (3 to 7 m) (W × H × D)
• Rooms with less than 2 m from the listening position to the speaker positions
• Rooms where objects such as furniture are likely to obstruct the path of sound beams

positioned directly on the floor of your listening room.
Please install this unit using a metal wall bracket, rack
or stand.
• This unit weighs 13 kg. Be sure to install this unit
where it will not fall if subject to vibrations, such as
from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of
children.
• When using a cathode-ray tube (CRT) TV, do not
install this unit directly above your TV.
• This unit is shielded against magnetic rays. However,
if the picture on your TV screen becomes blurred or

To affix this unit, remove the protection pads from the
bottom of the unit, then secure the supplied fasteners (4
pieces) to the bottom four corners of this unit and the top
of the rack, etc. as shown below.
Notes
• Do not install this unit on top of a slanted surface. This unit may
