OVERVIEW
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.

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.

AUTO SETUP (INTELLIBEAM)
AUTO SETUP (IntelliBeam)
This unit creates a sound field by reflecting sound beams on the walls of your listening room and broadening the
cohesion of all the 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 and sound optimization features with the aid of the supplied optimizer
microphone, allowing you to avoid troublesome listening-based setup and achieving highly accurate sound adjustments
that best match your listening environment. We call these 2 features “IntelliBeam” generically.
The beam optimization creates the best possible surround sound field without manually setting the parameters for your
listening room.
The sound optimization feature performs the following checks and automatically makes appropriate sound adjustments.
DISTANCE:
Checks 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. The sound optimization feature 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.
