Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Yamaha YSP-3000 Offers True Multi-Channel Surround Sound Enjoyment from a Single Component

The sound surrounds you, the speakers don't

True Multi-Channel Surround Sound from All Sources, Including TV
As amazing as it seems, the YSP-3000 can actually deliver multi-channel sound that surrounds listeners the same as sound from front, center and rear speakers. 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 multi-channel surround.

Digital Amplifier Built-in
The YSP-3000 has a powerful and efficient digital amplifier built in. It powers the 21 beam drivers at 2W each and the two woofers at 20W each, for a total of 82W of power. There is no need for the customer to purchase an additional amplifier or receiver, so the system is compact and economical.

Wide Variety of Beam Settings
The My Surround mode provides surround sound without reflecting the beams off the walls and uses a combination of DiMagic and Yamaha technology. It delivers a good surround effect when listeners are close to the unit and is handy for rooms where the walls can not be used well. The My Beam setting focuses the sound at a specific listening position, so even in noisy surroundings you can hear dialogue and other sounds clearly. There are also five other selectable beam settings: 5 Beam, 3 Beam, 3 Beam + Stereo, and 2ch Stereo and 5ch Stereo that outputs stereo sources from all of the 5-channel beams, providing a more expansive sound field.

Digital Sound Projector Technology
The YSP-3000 applies this sophisticated 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 walls. The result is true multi-channel surround sound that sounds just like a multi-channel speaker system - but without the need for extra speakers!

Front Panel Mini Jack
A mini jack on the front panel makes it convenient to connect portable audio players. Also, with the Yamaha's optional YDS-11 universal iPod dock you are able to connect your iPod to the YSP-3000. You can listen to your music via the YSP-3000, operate your iPod via the YSP-3000's remote unit with the on-screen display, and charge your iPod.

Advanced Features

Enjoy two different sources with HDMI quality view back panel

IntelliBeam Automated System Calibration
This Yamaha exclusive feature ensures optimum multi-channel sound reproduction with accurate image location. By monitoring and analyzing the sound with the microphone included with the YSP-3000, 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 while acoustically perfect.

HDMI Interface with 1080p/24Hz and 60Hz Compatibility
HDMI provides the transmission of digital multi-channel audio and high-definition video signals via a single cable. The YSP-3000 has dual HDMI inputs and one output. The dual inputs let the user connect two different sources, such as a DVD player and a set-top box. The output supports 1080p/24Hz and 60Hz video signals, so they can be throughput to monitor for enjoying high definition video quality.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works but very limited, January 30, 2009

By	John Lee - See all my reviews

The HDMI version on this product is 1.2. It supports only 2 channel LPCM audio over HDMI. The HDMI switch will also clip BTB and WTW information passed in from the source.

Otherwise, when setup properly in a square room without furnitures, the surround effect works pretty well. But only if you sit directly in front of it.
