Dedicated to the Creation of Fine Sound for Over a Century. Yamaha’s involvement with sound began with the production of our first reed organ in 1887. Shortly thereafter, we began making pianos and other instruments, and today we are the world’s largest producer of musical instruments. We also operate a worldwide music school, design concert halls and produce innovative electronic instruments. Our audio components have long been recognized as the standard bearers of fine quality, and with the development of Digital Sound Field Processing in 1986, we opened a new era in home entertainment. All of our acoustic and audio expertise is now

Welcome to a World of Total Quality

engineered into LSIs that we design and manufacture ourselves, and these powerful chips are expanding and enhancing entertainment possibilities in the exciting new field of home theater. Recently, we’ve also introduced state-of-the-art video components, and now offer everything necessary for the finest in music and movie enjoyment at home. 2

Digital Sound Projector

Multi-Channel Surround Sound Enjoyment from A Single Component.

The Secret is Digital Sound Projection Technology

The YSP-1 is a genuine multi-channel home theater system — all in one unit! A true breakthrough in audio technology, it delivers sound from the five front, surround and center channels to listeners just as though they were surrounded by five speakers. It can be positioned in the front center or corners of the room. The thin design is an elegant match for flat panel monitors and simplifies placement. And naturally, there is no need to find locations for multiple speakers or to run cables across the room. YSP-1: the elegant, all-in-one solution for home theater sound.

The YSP-1 applies sophisticated Digital Sound Projection Technology to precisely control the orientation of the sound by focusing it into beams. The result is true 5.1-channel surround sound without the need for extra speakers! With 42 digital amplifiers driving 40 4cm full-range drivers and 2 11cm woofers, the Digital Sound Projector delivers 120W of total power with dynamic bass response. Sound is projected at the listener from five directions: straight ahead, reflected off one wall, and reflected off two walls (so it is heard from the rear).

Precise Calibration Produces Accurate Multi-Channel Sound You input a variety of parameters (once only) to obtain the correct surround sound field. First, you select room size (large, medium or small), room shape (square or rectangular) and speaker position (wall or corner). You can also make fine adjustments with precise distances from the listening position. Test tones are provided to adjust beam angles via the remote control for maximum surround effect. If you will be moving the YSP-1, there are three memory locations for storing different groups of settings.

Precisely Focused Beams of Sound Although it is one component, there are actually 40 small drivers and 2 woofers inside. The delay time of each driver is controlled by a Digital Sound Processing circuit, enabling the system to project “beams” of sound which are precisely aimed for optimum surround sound effect. Naturally, high quality two-channel (stereo) sound can also be reproduced, as well as three-channel sound if desired.

YSP-1 Digital Sound Projector Revolutionary Surround Sound The Yamaha Digital Sound Projector YSP-1 is an exciting breakthrough in home theater technology. Now you can get optimum multi-channel sound directivity to enjoy the full benefits of home theater all from one easily installed component. No more multiple speakers, no more clutter, no more hiding wires... just the pure excitement of bringing your movies and music to life. The YSP-1 is designed to be an ideal, slim design match for your video display set. Although it is only one component, there are actually 40 speaker drivers inside that project precisely focused beams of sound aimed for optimum surround sound effect.

True Multi-Channel Sound As amazing as it seems, the YSP-1 can actually deliver five channels of sound that surround listeners the same way that sound from five front, center and surround speakers does. Hear it and you will believe it!

Simple Connection and Flexible Placement

Virtual Speaker Positions

Multi-Source Enjoyment As a home theater sound system, the YSP-1 will generally be used for movies on DVD, but it also brings greater enjoyment to digital audio, satellite TV, cable TV and other multi-channel sources. It has builtin decoders for Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6.

Thin Profile Designed to Match Flat Panel Displays If you own or are planning to purchase a flat panel monitor, you probably wish you could also have thin speakers, rather than the usual boxes on the front and sides. The YSP-1 has a long, slim profile and nicely matches the styling of thin monitors.

Even if the YSP-1 cannot be positioned flat against the front wall (leaving “dead” space), the quality of the surround sound will not be affected.

Sound is focused into beams. Multiple channels (two channels in the figure) are superimposed to create the sound. In a 5.1-channel configuration, the beam speakers together create the sound of 5.1 superimposed channels.

If the room has an alcove or other irregularity, the settings can be adjusted to compensate, so the surround enjoyment can be assured.

Beam Mode Selection Five-Beam: All five channels—L , R, C, Ls and Rs—are given separate orientations. Sound is beamed off the walls to create the effect of a surround system with rear speakers. Stereo: The left and right woofers, with the multiple beam speakers acting as tweeters, reproduce the effect of conventional stereo speakers. Stereo + Three-Beam: The L and R channels are produced using stereo mode while C, Ls and Rs are produced using beaming. This mode is effective when the YSP-1 placed in a corner. Three-Beam: Three beams are produced: L+ Ls, R+ Rs and C. A surround sound effect is created by reflecting the sound off the walls.

the amplifier circuit and the speaker terminals, caused by the cables, speaker output relays, copper circuit boards, and so on. To avoid this problem, we used an extra-large, low-impedance toroidal transformer and gold-plated speaker relay contacts. As a result, Yamaha amplifier/receivers achieve low impedance, high current power from input (power supply circuit) to output (speaker terminals). This drives the speakers much more smoothly and dynamically, for better sound from all sources, including 2-channel audio.

High Current Amplification Although power rating is often the first thing people look at in a amplifier/receiver, high power output does not necessarily mean good sound. High current level is a much more important factor, so Yamaha developed the High Current Amplification system, which overcomes two problems common to ordinary components. The first is a difference in voltage between the power supply and amplifier circuits caused by current fluctuations. This was solved by using custom-made, high-grade block electrolytic capacitors and a copper grip for one-point grounding. Another current drop is generally seen between

High Grade Construction with Independent Chambers and Anti-Vibration Design The DSP-Z9 uses a heavy-duty, rigid chassis construction with separate individual chambers for left and right power amplifiers, power supply and control section to prevent any chance of internal interference. This thick chassis also has electromagnetic shielding. The extremely large aluminum-extruded heat sinks have antiresonance characteristics and ensure effective heat dissipation. Supporting all this are Yamaha’s ToP-ART base and feet, which provide stability and further vibration-damping.

Symmetrical power amplifier circuit configuration results in improved slew rate and balanced clipping.

Symmetrical Power Amplifier Circuitry (DSP-Z9) The High Current Amplification system uses a symmetrical, full push-pull circuit configuration with a complementary FET input stage. This ensures balanced output with no signal interference and highest slew rate (rate at which signal changes; affects high frequency response). Furthermore, the massive toroidal transformer and large capacity block electrolytic capacitors (28,000µF) ensure a consistently stable power supply. Finest Parts Used Throughout At this degree of extreme sound quality, each and every part in the component makes a difference. Yamaha technicians tested, selected and in many cases custom-designed all parts, and then tested them in groups to ensure that they sounded good together.

Yamaha CINEMA DSP Uses Actual Sound Fields Yamaha Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP) is superior to other surround sound systems because it is based on data from actual sound fields. Yamaha engineers went to famous venues around the world and used a proprietary technique to gather acoustic data, which is stored and processed by powerful, customdesigned LSIs. You enjoy a richer, deeper, and more realistic surround sound experience. Quad-Field CINEMA DSP Quad-Field CINEMA DSP actually creates four independent sound fields that merge to envelop you YSS-930 32-Bit Floating Point in an unmatched surround sound Quantization LSI for experience. You hear movies and DSP Processing (top), and YSS-930 32-Bit music with accurate sound Floating Point localization, smooth movement Quantization LSI for Format decoding and across the sound space, Audio Delay (bottom) exceptional clarity and remarkably realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater!

YPAO Automatically Sets Best Sound for Any Room, Any Speaker Placement Yamaha’s YPAO system uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters, such as the speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level, etc. Until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room and you don’t have to do anything! The RX-V2500 has an improved system that is faster (less than three minutes), also adjusts frequency response, and provides three programed EQ patterns, plus the ability to manually adjust parametric EQ settings. Six YPAO settings can be held in memory and recalled via two system memory buttons on the remote control. YPAO is available with the DSP-Z9, RX-V2500, RX-V1500, RX-V757, RX-V657 and DVX-S150.

modes, 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.

Audio Delay for Adjustong lip-Sync The Yamaha LSI in the component provides synchronization of images and sound, which is called lip-sync. Most home theater LSIs do not have the necessary speed and precision to handle this, but the Yamaha LSI is able to do it accurately. What’s more, by using the Audio Delay mode, lipsync parameters can be adjusted whenever necessary.

SILENT CINEMA The SILENT CINEMA mode allows private listening enjoyment of multichannel music or movies, with an accurate simulation of surround sound, through ordinary headphones.
