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-1000 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 (40). 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-1000 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.

SETUP

English

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.

The flow chart of AUTO SETUP

This unit performs a series of checks to optimize the beam angle, delay, volume and quality. You can choose to optimize all or part of the parameters.
