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.

Notes on batteries
• 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.
• 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.
If the remote control is without batteries for more than
2 minutes, or if exhausted batteries remain in the
remote control, the contents of the memory may be
cleared. When the memory is cleared, insert new
batteries and reset the remote control codes.
When changing the batteries, be careful not to press
any of the buttons on the remote control.
Doing so will clear the contents of the memory.

Stereo mode
Outputs audio from the front left and right speakers.
This mode is ideal for playing back hi-fidelity
sources, such as CDs, and should be used to replace
your TV speakers. When playing multi-channel

front left and right speakers. You can select surround
mode during beam mode, but surround mode
becomes disabled when stereo mode is selected.
Remote control
3 beam mode
Outputs audio from the front left, center and front
right speakers.
Because the listening position area is widened when
signals are output to the front speaker positions only,
you can enjoy excellent quality surround sound over a
wider area. This mode is ideal when you want to
enjoy movies with the whole family.
When playing multi-channel sources, surround left
and right signals are mixed down and output to the
front left and right speaker positions.

5 beam mode
Outputs audio signals from the front left and right,
center, and surround left and right speakers.
This mode is ideal for enjoying surround sound
effects to the fullest when watching movie DVDs
recorded in a multi-channel format or playing back 2channel sources in a multi-channel format.
To achieve to best surround sound effect, make sure
that there are no objects placed in the path of sound
beams that may prevent the beams from rebounding
directly off your listening room wall. The front left

GLOSSARY
Audio formats
■ Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives
you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3
front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround
stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio
channels. With an additional channel especially for bass
effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has
a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By
using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more
accurate moving sound effects and surround sound
environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The
wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum
volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the
precise sound orientation generated using digital sound
processing provide listeners with previously unheard of
excitement and realism.
With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up
to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for
your enjoyment.
■ Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to
decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software.
This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel
playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center
channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of
only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic
technology). Music and Game modes are also available for
2-channel sources in addition to the Movie mode.
■ Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system
to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front
left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog
(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound
effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces
sound within a narrow frequency range.
Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes
and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as
well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit
employs a digital signal processing system that
automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to
enhance moving sound effects and directionality.
GLOSSARY
■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound
track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie
theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.
has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy
the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of
DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces
practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically, a
left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus
an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1channels). The unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that
enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding the surround
back channel to existing 5.1-channel format.
■ Neo:6
Neo:6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6
channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables
playback with the full-range channels with higher
separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two
modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music
sources and “Cinema mode” for movies.
■ PCM (Linear PCM)
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog
audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without
using any compression. This is used as a method of
recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a
technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per
very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code
modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.
Audio information
■ LFE 0.1 channel
This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.
The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.
This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a
low frequency range compared to the full-range
reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.
