Other Notable Features

 
As amazing as it seems, the YSP900 can actually deliver multi-channel sound that surrounds listeners the same way that sound from front, center and rear speakers does. 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 sound can be heard in glorious multichannel surround.
The YSP900 has a powerful and efficient digital amplifier built in that powers the 21 beam drivers and two woofers. There is no need to purchase an additional amplifier or receiver, so the system is compact and economical.
Flat panel LCD and plasma 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 YSP-900 has a compact, slim profile and is a perfect match for 32” TVs and monitors.
Connecting the YSP900 is much simpler than with conventional home theatre systems, because multiple speaker cables are not necessary. Placement is flexible – it can be positioned above or below the display in the front-centre 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.
This exclusive feature ensures optimum multi-channel sound reproduction with accurate image location. By monitoring and analyzing the sound with the microphone included with the YSP900, IntelliBeam automatically sets the best beam angles, while optimizing the level and frequency response of each beam. It also offers Direct Start function via remote unit. This makes initial setup both extremely simple and acoustically perfect.
Yamaha’s ultra-sophisticated CINEMA DSP technology creates thrillingly realistic soundscapes in any room. Three CINEMA DSP programmes are available (Movie, Music and Sports). The YSP900 is compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II (Movie, Music and Game) and DTS Neo:6 (Cinema and Music) sound formats.
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.
• TruBass uses harmonics to make the bass deeper and richer
• Turn On Volume: Volume comes on at a preset level
• Maximum Volume: for avoiding sudden loud sounds
• Memory Save Lock
• Parameter settings
• Preset remote unit
• 0.1 W standby power consumption
    Sound Modes
   

YSP Digital Sound Projectors take advantage of your walls to create true multi-channel surround sound. Or instead of surround sound, users can focus the sound to the place where they are sitting. Even in noisy surroundings, you can hear dialogue and other sounds clearly. It is also handy to avoid disturbing others who are sleeping, for example, as well as helping people who are hard of hearing. You just point the remote control at the YSP unit, hold a button for a few seconds, and the sound is directed right at that spot. There are also four other selectable sound modes: 5 Beam, 3 Beam, 3 Beam + Stereo, and Stereo.

FIVE BEAM MODE
All five channels - Left, Right, Centre, Left-surround and R-surround - are given separate orientations. Sound is beamed off the walls to create the effect of a surround system with rear speakers.
STEREO MODE
The left and right woofers, with the multiple beam speakers acting as tweeters, reproduce the effect of conventional stereo speakers.
THREE BEAM MODE
Three beams are produced: Left and Left-surround, Right and Right-surround and Centre. A surround sound effect is created by reflecting the sound off the walls.
THREE BEAM + STEREO MODE
The Left and Right channels are produced using stereo mode while Centre, Left-surround and Right-surround are produced using beaming. This mode is effective when the YSP-1 placed in a corner.
MY BEAM
One beam is produced: Sound is projected to a distinct location to allow for private listening without the headphones at the touch of a button.
