Amazon.com Product Description
The Yamaha YSP-900BL Digital Sound Projector applies the Digital Sound Projector technology to precisely control the orientation of the sound by focusing it through multiple beams to provide multi-surround sound enjoyment from a single compact component. The center channel sound is heard directly while the 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 but without the need for extra speakers.
The YSP-900BL delivers multi-channel sound that surrounds listeners in the same way that sound from front, center and rear speakers do. DVD movies and other digital sources sound just the way they are supposed to. Dolby Pro Logic II is included so even 2-channel TV's sound can be heard in true multi-channel surround. Its elegant space-saving design avoids the need of numerous speakers and cables. It can be wall mounted or placed on a shelf or rack. The digital amplifier individually drives 21 sound beam drivers at 2W each and two woofers at 20W each for a total of 82W of power to deliver true multi-channel surround sound for this elegant home theater system.
Product Description
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.

 Good compromise February 14, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
It's true that this system won't replace a setup with true surround speakers, but it's a good compromise for some situations. I have a small TV room and a wife that didn't want surround speakers on the walls. I also didn't want to rip up the walls to conceal wiring or in-wall speakers. Fortunately the room is rectangular and has hard surfaced walls which makes it a good fit for the YSP-900. If you are considering it, keep in mind that it bounces sound off the side and back walls to substitute for the missing left, right, and surround speakers. Without a good surface in the right place then it won't perform well. In my situation it sounds quite good. I hear a convincing stereo image that extends well beyond the device and enveloping surround effects. Dialogue clarity is excellent.
Other points to consider:
- The YSP-900 may seem expensive but remember that it includes a surround processor and amp so you just plug in your audio sources and go. This also reduces clutter in the minimal installations that the device is well-suited for.
- The bass output is weak so you definitely will want to add a subwoofer.
- If you are planning on wall-mounting, you will need to buy the SPM-K30 bracket which is NOT included. If you have a wall-mounted flat panel TV the YSP-900 will look great under it.
 Perfect digital solution for small spaces January 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have a very small studio but now that I have an xbox 360, a HDTV and computer all with optical audio out... I wanted full surround without having to have too much wiring. Secondly, surround sound needs a large array of speakers when small apartments just don't have the space to effectively generate "real surround". This creates a decent surround output, while saving space, and allows actual digital dolby. It includes a microphone to do an audio check of your space to optimize it, and outputs for a subwoofer if you want more oomph (the subwoofer on this is okay, passable, not great). 2 optical inputs and a digital coax, enough for me to be useful all for the same cost as a decent amplifier... I got this in the $450 range and am very happy with it. Definitely an upgrade from default HDTV speaker, and without the wiring nightmare of a "cheapo" $250 Logitech mini surround system which I was considering.
Great little system. February 21, 2008

I did not want wires and speakers everywhere.So i bought this ysp900 soundbar.Set up was a breeze.It was fast and easy.This Mother was made for a wall.So you should hang it.Otherwise if you sit it on a surface like a bookshelf.It could bend your wires like your optical outs or coxial out wire.This unit produces very little bass.So i recomend a subwoofer perhaps a yamaha yst-fsw100.Thats the sub i use they go great with each other.They are like peas and carrots.I have two of them hooked up via y-splitter.This bar only has one sub out.So if you plan on hooking up two subs like i did.You will need a y-splitter.Monster makes one for around $15 bucks which you will also find on this site.For most normal people one sub is enough.For me two subs really do the trick.Final note.(pros) Great sound from a compact speaker.Built in reciver with different sound fields.(cons) No HDMI support.Base unit does not produce enough bass.For the price the unit should come standard with a sub.
Filling a small basement April 5, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have a small odd-shaped basement with limited electrical power, so I chose this over a conventional set of speakers and amp. My basement is mostly long and narrow, but has an alcove on one side of the TV viewing area that somewhat distorts sound there.
I installed the unit on a high shelf, above the 40" LCD Samsung TV. It is connected to three sources - via optical cable to my Direct-TV HD DVR, via optical cable to my Blu-Ray DVD and via video cable back to the Samsung TV for air reception. It all works just fine, and for those movies that have good sound source the surround is not bad - very good in the front, somewhat good on the sides - virtually nothing behind me as you would expect.
With this device comes it's own remote so rather than mess with all four remotes (TV, DVR, Blu-Ray, DSP), I spent the money to buy a Universal Remote - Harmony 670. It is a dream - I now have a single keystroke that runs everything I need to watch DVD, watch Direct-TV, or watch TV using the air signal.
All in all - very pleased, and especially since when I move someday, this will likely become a system for my bedroom or family room and I will get a bigger more complete surround system for my next home theater room.
Good Value for the money, and seems very reliable.
Great deal. June 30, 2008

You don't have to run wires across the room, all in one convenience and very loud. Those are the 3 reasons for purchasing this item. I also recommend getting the optional Sub if you want the explosions to really BOOM.
