Multi-Channel Surround from a Compact Component |
As amazing as it seems, the YSP1100 can actually deliver multiple channels of sound that surround listeners the same way that sound from front, center and surround speakers does. There is a wider range of optimum listening positions thanks to the proliferation of audio "sweet spots." The YSP1100 applies sophisticated Digital Sound Projector Technology to precisely control the orientation of the sound by focusing it through multiple beams. The center channel sound is heard directly, while sounds from other channels are heard after reflecting off the walls. The result is true multi-channel surround sound, not just virtual surround, that sounds just like a multi-speaker systembut without the need for extra speakers. |
Thin Profile Design, Flexible Placement and Connections |
Flat panel plasma and other types of monitors are becoming very popular, but many people wish they could also have thin speakers, rather than the usual boxes to the front and sides. The YSP1100 is a perfect match for 42" plasma monitors. Connecting the YSP1100 is much simpler than with conventional home theater systems, because multiple speaker cables are not necessary. Placement is flexible. The component can be positioned above or below the display in the front-center of the room, or in either of the front corners. It is compact enough that space should not be a problem in almost any setting. It can also be wall-mounted (with an optional bracketsold separately), or placed on a shelf or rack. And, through this component alone, video input can be selected from any of two component inputs to a component output, or from three composite inputs to a composite output with superimposed on-screen display menus. |
Intelligent Design |
The YSP1100 incorporates digital amplifiers that power 40 beam drivers at 2 Watts each and two woofers at 20 Watts each for a total of 120 Watts of power. Its advanced digital design is highly efficient and keeps distortion to an absolute minimum. Yamaha's ultra-sophisticated CINEMA DSP technology creates thrillingly realistic soundscapes in your room. Seven CINEMA DSP programs are available (3 Movie, 3 Music and 1 Sports Mode). The YSP1100 is also compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6 (Cinema and Music) sound formats. |
Create Your Own Soundstage |
Yamaha's exclusive IntelliBeam Automated Calibration System ensures optimum multi-channel sound reproduction with acurate image location by monitoring and analyzing the sound with the microphone included with the YSP1100. IntelliBeam automatically sets the best beam angles and modes, while optimizing the level and frequency response of each beam. This makes initial setup both extremely simple while acoustically perfect. Manual setup is also possible. Five different beam modes can be selected via the remote control. Five Beam mode provides true multi-channel surround sound. Stereo mode reproduces the effect of a two-speaker system. Stereo + Three Beam mode and Three Beam mode surround effects are also available, plus a Target mode that focuses one specific direction. |
Put The Sound Right Where You Want It |
The YSP-1100's My Beam mode focuses the sound at a specific position with the touch of a button. Using My Beam, users can by-pass the surround sound and focus sound to the place where they are sitting. Even in noisy surroundings, you can hear dialog and other sounds clearly. My Beam is a handy control that allows you to keep the sound out of range of those who may not be that excited to hear what you're listening toolike your roommate who works at night and sleeps during the day. It's also great for people who have hearing disabilities and need the sound projected more directly at themselves. |
Real Surround Sound Without All The Speakers |
Digital Sound Projector technology precisely controls the orientation of the sound by focusing it through multiple beams. The center channel sound is heard directly, while sounds from other channels are heard after reflecting off walls. The result is true multi-channel surround sound that sounds just like a multi-speaker system. |
Volume Modes |
During low-volume listening, such as late at night, dynamic range suffers and you may miss some sounds. The Night Listening Enhancer offers two settings, Cinema and Music, with three-level selectability, which will ensure that you don't miss movie dialogue or quiet passages, or lose overall surround spaciousness. There is also a TV Equal Volume mode to prevent sudden bursts of loud sound such as from commercials. |
Custom Installation Compatibility |
The YSP1100 supports IR signal transmission for the convenient operation of other components. The YSP1100 can be controlled by an IR signal sent through the Remote In terminal. The IR signal received by the Remote Control Sensor on the front panel is directly output through the IR OUT terminal. It is also provided with an RS-232C interface for a touch-panel controller. |
