OVERVIEW
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 agreat 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-800 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 aunit 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 subwoofers (2) and individual speakers (21).
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-800 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.

INSTAllATION
This section describes asuitable installation location to install the unit using ametal wall bracket, arack or astand.
This unit creates surround sound
by reflecting projected
sound beams offthe walls
of your listening room. The
surround sound effects produced
by this unit may not be
sufficient when the unit is installed
in the following
locations.
•Rooms with surfaces inadequate for reflecting sound
beams
•Rooms with acoustically absorbent surfaces
•Rooms with measurements outside the fol1owing range
W
(3 to 7 m) x H (2 to 3.5 m) x D (3 to 7 m)
•Rooms with less than 2 m from the listening position to
the speaker positions
•Rooms where objects such as furniture are likely to
obstruct the path
of sound beams
•Rooms where the listening position
is close to the walls
•Rooms where the listening position
is not in front of
this unit
Make sure you leave an adequate amount
of ventilation
space so that heat can escape. Make at least 5cm
of space
above or below this unit.
Side view
5cm or more
