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 a great 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-600 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 a unit that is
not only easy to set up, but is also capable of reproducing the kind of powerful surround sound you have been waiting for
from its built-in 2 woofers and 16 full-range small speakers.
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-600 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.

INTRODUCTION English
Digital Sound Projector™
The Digital Sound Projector technology allows one slim
unit to control and steer multiple channels of sound to
generate multi-channel surround sound, thus eliminates
the need for satellite loudspeakers and cabling normally
associated with conventional surround sound systems.
This unit also employs the beam modes that let you enjoy
the surround sound (5 Beam, Stereo plus 3 Beam and
3 Beam), stereo playback, and My Beam.
My Surround
In addition to the above mentioned beam modes, this unit
is equipped with My Surround beam mode that allows you
to enjoy surround system even in a small listening area.
My Surround is a function integrated and optimized with
DiMAGIC’s Euphony technology and Yamaha’s Beam
reproduction system.
My Beam
This unit employs My Beam that ensures a clear sound in
a noisy environment. You can adjust the beam angle
manually or automatically using the supplied remote
control to the maximum of 30°, rightward and leftward.
HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
◆HDMI interface for standard, enhanced, or high-definition
video (including 1080p video signal transmission) as well as
multi-channel digital audio based on HDCP
◆Simple and easy connections with HDMI supported external
components
◆Functional link with an HDMI control-compatible TV
Versatile Remote Control
The supplied remote control comes with preset remote
control codes used to control the DVD, Blu-ray, HD DVD
player (recorder), VCR, cable TV tuner, and digital
satellite tuner connected to this unit. In addition, the
remote control is equipped with the macro capability that
enables a series of operations with the press of a single
button.
AUTO SETUP (IntelliBeam)
This unit employs the automatic sound beam and acoustic
optimization technology with the aid of the supplied
IntelliBeam microphone. You can avoid troublesome
listening-based speaker setup and achieve highly accurate
sound beam adjustments that best match your listening
environment.
Compatibility with the Newest Technologies
This unit employs decoders compatible with Dolby
Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, and
DTS Neo:6.
◆Dolby Digital
This is the standard audio signal format used on various
digital media such as DVD, Blu-ray, and HD DVD. This
surround technology delivers high-quality digital audio for up
to 5.1 discrete channels to produce a directional and more
realistic effect.
◆DTS
This is the standard audio signal format used on various
digital media such as DVD, Blu-ray, and HD DVD. This
surround technology delivers high-quality digital audio for up
to 5.1 discrete channels to produce a directional and more
realistic effect.
◆Dolby Pro Logic
A surround system that takes a 4-channel signal and records it
as a 2-channel signal, then by way of some arithmetic
processing converts back to an independent 4-channel signal
for playback.
◆Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode
vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software.
This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback
with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center channel, and 2
surround left and right channels (instead of only 1 surround
channel for conventional Pro Logic technology).
◆DTS Neo:6
This technology decodes the conventional 2-channel sources
for 6-channel playback, enabling playback with the full-range
channels with higher separation. Music mode and Cinema
mode are available to play back music and movie sources
respectively.

Installation
13 En
PREPARATION English
This section describes a suitable installation location to install this unit using a rack.
Depending on your installation environment, connections with external components can be done before installing this
unit. We recommend that you temporarily place and arrange all components, including this unit, in order to decide which
procedure should come first.
This unit creates surround sound by reflecting projected
sound beams off the walls of your listening room. The
surround sound effects produced by this unit may not be
sufficient when this unit is installed in the following
locations.
• Rooms with walls inadequate for reflecting sound
beams
• Rooms with acoustically absorbent walls
• Rooms with measurements outside the following
range: W (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft)) x H (2 to 3.5 m (7 to
11.5 ft)) x D (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft))
• Rooms with less than 1.8 m (6 ft) from the listening
position to this unit
• 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
y
• You can enjoy surround sound by selecting My Surround (see
page 46) as the beam mode even if your listening room may not
fulfill the above conditions (except when the listening position
is not directly facing toward the front of this unit).
• You can also enjoy surround sound by selecting stereo playback
(see page 51) or My Beam (see page 52) as the beam mode even
if your listening room may not fulfill the above conditions.
Make sure you leave an adequate amount of ventilation
space so that heat can escape. Make at least 5 cm (2 in) of
space above this unit.
• We do not recommend putting this unit directly on the floor of
your listening room. Please install this unit using a rack.
• This unit weights 8.5 kg (18 lbs 12 oz). Be sure to install this
unit where it will not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an
earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.
