OVERVIEW OVERVIEW It is generally acceted 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 seakers in the hoe that your listening room will give you the same kind of surround sound exerience as your local movie theater. YAMAHA s YSP-1 Digital Sound Projector challenges this reconcetion that comlicated seaker set u and troublesome wiring go hand-in-hand with the enjoyment of multi-channel surround sound. Sound Beam Diagram C L R Listening Position SL SR Imaginary front seaker osition Imaginary surround seaker osition 2

OVERVIEW This slimline unit does away with the need for comlicated wiring and installation worries, leaving you with a unit that is not only easy to set u, but which is also caable of reroducing the kind of owerful surround sound you have been waiting for from its built-in subwoofers (2) and individual seakers (40). You can use this unit s arameters to fine tune the delay time for searate sound beams, resulting in highly directional sound that comes in on the listening osition from all directions. The YSP-1 rojects sound beams containing surround sound information for the front right (R), front left (L), surround right (SR) and surround left (SL) seaker ositions, which are reflected off the walls of your listening room before reaching the actual listening osition. 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 seakers around the room. Further, you can change the way in which these beams are rojected at your walls (the beam mode) to match the contents of the rogram you are watching or your listening environment, giving you a virtual surround sound exerience for both stereo and 5.1-channel layback. INTRODUCTION This unit s SET MENU can be dislayed on your TV screen, allowing you to customize this unit to suit your listening environment. Set u is straight forward using the MEMORY or EASY SETUP menus. MEMORY allows you to load reset listening environment arameters for quick setu. EASY SETUP is an easy-to-follow setu method for first-time users. In addition, the MANUAL SETUP menu offers advanced arameters for the surround sound enthusiast who wants to make individual adjustments for each seaker osition. This highly-advanced rojector suorts a wide range of sound technology, including Dolby Digital, a basic audio format for DVDs, Dolby Pro Logic for the reroduction of true-to-life sound, and DTS for layback of the best ossible sound clarity. Equied with two otical digital, one coaxial digital and two analog inut jacks, the YSP-1 allows you to exand your system through the direct connection of external comonents, such as a DVD layer. Sit back and enjoy the real sound exerience of this simle, yet stylish Digital Sound Projector. 3
