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 42 speaker drivers inside that project
precisely focused beams of sound aimed for
optimum surround sound effect.

EASY TO SET UP
The time delay of each speaker 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. The direct and reflected sound waves produce true multi-channel
surround sound.
High quality two-channel (stereo) sound can also be reproduced by superimposing
multiple beams of sound as pictured above.
Setting up the Yamaha digital sound projector is easier than
conventional home theater systems because multiple speakers
and wiring are eliminated. Placement is versatile, with the YSP-1
able to be positioned in the front center or either front corner of
the room. It can also be wall or table mounted for flat panel TVs,
or even placed next to, or on top of, your video display.

sound the source for multi-channel enjoyment
AN EASY BLEND
The YSP-1 employs multiple small speakers, each with it's own digital
amplifier, and our unique projection technology to control the orientation
of the sound. By focusing the sound into ”beams” and controlling the
speaker delay times, the listener perceives the sounds to be coming
from additional speakers placed throughout the room, when in fact there
is only the Yamaha Digital Sound Projector.
It’s not just about how it sounds... it’s also about
style, and how well the YSP-1 complements a wall or
stand-mounted plasma , LCD or rear-projection video
display. With slim, contemporary design, the YSP-1
becomes an elegant statement of the latest in home
theater technology. And, since it can be used as an
on-wall system, you can take the YSP-1 with you if
you move!
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.
