Out of stock | | | | | | True Multi-Channel Surround Sound from All Sources, Including TV. As amazing as it seems, the YSP-1100 can actually deliver multi-channel sound that surrounds listeners the same way that sound from front, center and rear speakers do. DVD movies and other digital sources sound just the way they are suppose to. Dolby Pro Logic II is included, so even 2-channel TV sound can be heard in glorious multi-channel surround. Remember, this is true surround sound, not virtual surround, which can cause listening fatigue. | | | | | |

 needs to be updated Jul 09, 2010
requires a lot of wires considering it is supposed to be for stream lining your home theatre. no hdmi big negative in this day and age. spectacular sound quality though. just depends whats important to you.
 Lot's of quality sound for such a compact unit! Aug 11, 2009
But, you will want to get an outboard subwoofer to complete the package. I added the Yamaha YST-SW215 subwoofer to complete the bottom end.
The proof was when I invited friends over to watch a good sound driven DVD telling them that the main home theatre system in the basement theatre was being used by my son and his friends. We watched and soon they were asking about the Yamaha sound bar and that it was producing better sound quality than their larger, less discrete home theater systems that they owned.
The Yamaha sound bar is versatile and has all sorts of settings that you can mess with to your heart's or ear's content. Everything from basic output of a news talk program to a "lush with audio" DVD to an iPod connection for just plain music. There are settings to satisfy most anyone and those settings product rich sound that a flat paneled sound bar such as this one has no right to reproduce, yet does. To be fair, if you are looking or listening for the bottom end, the sound bar itself will not do it, you must add a subwoofer as I mentioned above.
The feedback calibration function is extremely useful in allowing you to get dead-on adjustments for YOUR room, not some industry average. I had a particularly odd set up in that the room has a cathedral ceiling and a partially open back end that flows into a galley kitchen.
I paid much more for this when it first came out, it is now down in price significantly as there are higher models now available. This is an excellent unit for those of you who do not want or can't have discrete components due to setup or space limitations. Hang it just under your flat screen TV and you've got about as small a footprint as you are ever going to get with top notch sound to boot. Granted, it does not possess the heft of my full home theatre unit at 200W into 7 channels plus Hsu Research subwoofer...BUT bang for the buck, this unit will NOT underwhelm you (just add the subwoofer, the Yamaha sub unit that I have works just fine and you can let it kick out when there is no sub content in the source!).

For those who want their house to sound like a true movie theater, this may not be the system for you. What I can say is I have no desire to run wires to the back of the room for rear speakers and this sound projecter kept me from doing so. It as quick to install, it is completely self contained, and the sound quality is good. I use for both television and listening to music. The only issue I can say I have, is the volume is a little low when used as a home stereo. For the price, I would recommend this to anyone.
Great in the correct Area Feb 19, 2009
I really like this sound system in my room. The surround function works well when I have all my doors and drapes closed. The My Beam function is very useful because I like to play the TV loud and not bother the other people in the house. I also use the steady sound mode so the volume stays pretty consistent from channel to channel. I will only be able to use this in my room because the other rooms in the house, like the living room are not shaped in a way that would allow it to work.
Amazing system, minor flaws. Feb 15, 2009
System works great. As others have said, system position is key because if you're missing a side wall for a kitchen you're 5.1 might sound less.
Still I have that problem and it sounds great. I love playing video games and watching tv while my wife sleeps without disturbance.
Pros:
+ My Beam
+ Automatic setup with microphone
+ 5.1, less wires
+ I can move my tv setup easily without moving speaker cables.
Cons:
- Controller has built in microphone, how can I move up to an RF remote?
- My Beam seems to move on me even though my chair has not moved. Re-syncing my placemnet with the my beam happens now at least once a week. (You can tell the sound is pointed elsewhere.)
- My future upgrades(different TV) will be effected by it's lack of HDMI. Current tv doesn't have HDMI.
- The controller doesn't replace all my remotes. It is a good remote however.
- It sits on my rear projection tv. I have a fear it's going to fall one day. They've included velcro but it doesn't 100% fix the problem.
- Having the bar for only a year now the mounting bracket from Amazon is not available. I hope I find it one day so I can upgrade to an LCD tv.
Any of these Yamaha bars will work out great. I bought this one due to it's discounted price even last year when I got it. Retails for $1,699. Not sure what I paid, but probably 1/7th of that.
It works, but I don't know the quality of other sound bars. If you fall into a similiar situation where you don't want to run cables this is perfect for you. My small cons don't out weigh how awesome this device is to me.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
