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.

FEATURES

Digital Sound Projector

This unit employs the digital sound projector technology that allows one slim unit to control and steer multiple channels of sound to generate full, physical 5.1 channel surround sound, thus eliminating the need for satellite loudspeakers and cabling normally associated with conventional surround sound systems. This unit is also equipped with the following 5 beam modes so that you can choose the behavior of sound beams that best matches your listening environment.

◆ 5 beam mode

◆ ST(STEREO)+3 beam mode

◆ 3 beam mode

◆ Stereo mode

◆ Target mode

Cinema DSP Digital

This unit employs the Cinema DSP Digital technology developed by YAMAHA Electronics Corp. so that you can experience movies at home with all the dramatic sound impact that the director intended to convey.

OSD (on-screen display)

This unit employs the OSD which is basically a superimposed screen image displayed on your video monitor. The OSD is used to display the system information or adjust settings for the system parameters.

Versatile Remote Control

The supplied remote control come with preset remote control codes to be used to control the DVD player, VCR, cable TV tuner and digital satellite tuner connected to this unit. In addition, the remote control is equipped with the macro capability so that you can perform a series of operations with the press of a single button.

AUTO SETUP

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

Compatibility with the Newest Technologies

This unit employs decoders compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS (Digital Theater Systems), Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6.

◆ Dolby Digital

This is the standard audio signal format used on DVDs and other purely digital media. This surround technology deliver high-quality digital audio for up to 5.1 discrete channels to produce a directional and more realistic effect.

◆ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This is an audio signal format used on DVDs and other purely digital media. This surround technology deliver high-quality digital audio for up to 5.1 discrete channels to produce a directional and more realistic effect.

◆ Dolby Pro Logic

This sophisticated, matrix decoding technology up-converts any 2 channel source audio to a surround sound playback.

◆ Dolby Pro Logic II

This is fundamentally a redesigned version of Dolby Pro Logic that employs 2 stereo surround channels, a subwoofer and a greatly enhanced steering logic. As a result, this improved technology provides an exceptionally stable sound field that simulates 5.1 to a much greater degree than the original Dolby Pro Logic. In addition, Dolby Pro Logic II features Movie, Music and Game modes specifically designed for movies, music and games respectively.

◆ DTS Neo:6

This technology decodes the conventional 2 channel sources for maximum 6 channel playback, enabling playback with the full-range channels with higher separation. This unit is equipped with the 5 channel playback mode. Music mode and Cinema mode are available to play back music and movie sources respectively.

INSTALLATION

This section describes a suitable installation location to install the unit using a metal wall bracket, a rack or a stand.

Before installing this unit

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 following range W (3 to 7 m) x H (2 to 3.5 m) x D (3 to 7 m)

• 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

• Rooms where the listening position is close to the walls

• Rooms where the listening position is not in front of this unit

Make sure you leave an adequate amount of ventilation space so that heat can escape. Make at least 5 cm of space above or below this unit.

Side view

5 cm or more

Installing this unit

Install this unit where there are no obstacles such as furniture obstructing the path of sound beams. Otherwise, the desired surround sound effects may not be achieved. You may install this unit in parallel with the wall or in the corner.

■ Parallel installation

Install this unit in the exact center of the wall when it is measured from the left and right corners.

An object, such as furniture

■ Corner installation
