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-3000 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 21 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-3000 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.

Digital Sound Projector TM
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, 3 Beam,
and My Surround), 2-channel and 5-channel 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 45 °, rightward and leftward.
Cinema DSP
This unit employs the Cinema DSP technology developed
by Yamaha Electronics Corp. that lets you experience
movies at home with all the original dramatic sound
impact.
