RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

■ Explanation of Graphical Symbols

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert you to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

1 Read these instructions. 2 Keep these instructions. 3 Heed all warnings. 4 Follow all instructions. 5 Do not use this apparatus near water. 6 Clean only with dry cloth. 7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or

grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power supply cable from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when

unused for long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing

is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

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-900 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 2 woofers and 21 full-range small speakers. 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-900 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 multi 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 beam modes so that you can enjoy the surround sound.

◆ 5 beam

◆ Stereo plus 3 beam

◆ 3 beam

This unit also employs the stereo playback and my beam.

My beam

This unit employs the my beam so that you can achieve a clear sound in noisy environment. You can adjust the beam angle manually or automatically using the supplied remote control.

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.

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 (IntelliBeam)

This unit employs the automatic sound beam and acoustic optimization 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 5.1 channel full bandwidth playback, resulting in a surround sound experience.

◆ 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 6 channel playback, enabling playback with the full-range channels with higher separation. 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 (10 to 23 ft)) x H (2 to 3.5 m (7 to 11.5 ft)) x D (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft))

• Rooms with less than 1.8 m (6 ft) 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 (2 in) of space above or below this unit.

Side view

5 cm (2 in) 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
