ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

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-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 a unit 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.

control codes to be used to control the DVD player, VCR,

cable TV tuner and digital satellite tuner connected to this

unit. In addition, the remote control is equipped with the

macro capability so that you can perform a series of

operations with the press of a single button.

AUTO SETUP

This unit employs the automatic sound beam optimization

using the YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic

Optimizer (YPAO) technology with the aid of the supplied

optimizer microphone so that 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 (Digital Theater Systems), Dolby Pro Logic,

Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6.

◆Dolby Digital

This is the standard audio signal format used on DVDs and

other purely digital media. This surround technology deliver

high-quality digital audio for up to 5.1 discrete channels to

produce a directional and more realistic effect.

◆DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This is an audio signal format used on DVDs and other purely

digital media. This surround technology deliver high-quality

digital audio for up to 5.1 discrete channels to produce a

directional and more realistic effect.

◆Dolby Pro Logic

This sophisticated, matrix decoding technology up-converts

any 2 channel source audio to a 5.1 channel full bandwidth

playback, resulting in a surround sound experience.

◆Dolby Pro Logic II

This is fundamentally a redesigned version of Dolby Pro

Logic that employs 2 stereo surround channels, a subwoofer

and a greatly enhanced steering logic. As a result, this

improved technology provides an exceptionally stable sound

field that simulates 5.1 to a much greater degree than the

original Dolby Pro Logic. In addition, Dolby Pro Logic II

features Movie, Music and Game modes specifically designed

for movies, music and games respectively.

◆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.

AUTO SETUP

This unit creates a sound field by reflecting sound beams on the walls of your listening room and broadening the

cohesion between speaker channels. Just as you would arrange the speaker position of other audio systems, you need to

set the beam angle to enjoy the best possible sound from this unit.

This unit employs the beam optimization feature and the YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO)

technology with the aid of the supplied optimizer microphone, allowing you to avoid troublesome listening-based

speaker setup and achieving highly accurate sound adjustments that best match your listening environment.

The beam optimization is the automated feature of BASIC SETUP, which creates the best possible surround sound field

without manually setting the parameters for your listening room.

The YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology performs the following checks and

automatically makes appropriate sound adjustments.

DISTANCE:

Checks the phase and the distance of each beam from this unit and adjusts the delay of each channel so that each sound

beam reaches the listening position at the same time.

EQUALIZING:

Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel’s parametric equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and create a

cohesive sound field. YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three parameters (frequency, level and Q factor) for each

of the seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.

LEVEL:

Checks and adjusts the sound output level of each channel.

This unit performs a series of checks to optimize the beam angle, delay, volume and quality. You can choose to optimize

all or part of the parameters.

*1 The subwoofer checking procedure is skipped if BEAM

OPTIMZ only is selected.

*2 The beam angle checking procedure is skipped if SOUND

OPTIMZ only is selected.

*3 The YPAO sound optimization procedure is skipped if BEAM

OPTIMZ only is selected.

AUTO SETUP

SETUP English

The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound that this unit produces in your actual listening

environment. Follow the procedure below to connect the optimizer microphone to this unit and make sure that the

optimizer microphone is placed in a proper location and that there are no large obstacles between the optimizer

microphone and the walls in your listening room.

• After you have completed the AUTO SETUP procedure, be sure to disconnect the optimizer microphone.

• The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat.

– Keep it away from direct sunlight.

– Do not place it on top of this unit.

• Do not connect the optimizer microphone to an extension cable as doing so may result in an inaccurate sound optimization.

• An error may occur during the AUTO SETUP procedure if the optimizer microphone is not properly placed in your listening room. To

avoid the possibility of an error:

– Do not place the optimizer microphone to the extreme right or left from the center of this unit.

– Do not place the optimizer microphone within 2 m from the front of this unit.

– Do not place the optimizer microphone more than 1 m from the center height of this unit.

• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the optimizer microphone and the walls in your listening room as these objects obstruct

the path of sound beams. However, any objects that are in contact with the walls will be regarded as a protruding part of the walls.

• The best possible results are achieved if the optimizer microphone is placed at the same height as your ears would be when you are

seated in your listening position. However, if this is not possible, you can manually fine-tune the sound beam angle and balance the

sound beam output levels using MANUAL SETUP (see page 63) once the AUTO SETUP procedure is completed.

• If a subwoofer with adjustable volume and crossover/high cut frequency controls is connected to this unit, set the volume between 9

and 12 o’clock as viewed on a conventional clockface and set the crossover/high cut frequency to the maximum.

1Connect the supplied optimizer microphone

to the OPTIMIZER MIC jack on the front

panel.

2Place the optimizer microphone on a flat

level surface more than 2 m from the front of

the unit and within 1 m from the center height

of the unit with the optimizer microphone

head upward at your normal listening

position.

Be sure to place the optimizer microphone on an imaginary

center line drawn from this unit.

You may want to use a tripod or the supplied cardboard

microphone stand to affix the optimizer microphone at the

same height as your ears would be when you are seated in

your listening position.

USING SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS

BASIC

OPERATION English

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from

stereo or multi-channel sources. This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA CINEMA DSP (digital sound field

processing) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience. Most

of the sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous concert halls,

music venues and movie theaters.

The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Surround sources.

Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference and do not purely rely on the name of the sound field program itself.

A significant factor that creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the

room. In addition to making the sound live, these reflections enable the listener to tell where the player is situated as well

as the size and shape of the room in which the listening is sitting.

■Elements of a sound field

In any environment, there are two distinct types of sound reflections that combine with the direct sound coming straight

to our ears from the player’s instrument to make up the sound field.

Early reflections

Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms to 100 ms after the direct sound) after reflecting from one

surface only (from the ceiling or a wall, for example). Early reflections help add clarity to the direct sound.

Reverberations

These are caused by reflections from more than one surface (i.e. wall, ceiling, the back of the room, etc.) so numerous

that they merge together to form a continuous sonic afterglow. They are non-directional and lessen the clarity of the direct

sound.

Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation taken together help us to determine the subjective size and

shape of the room, and it is this information that the digital sound field processor reproduces in order to create sound

fields.

If you could create the appropriate early reflections and subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would be

able to create your own listening environment. The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert hall, a

dance floor or a listening room of virtually any size at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what

YAMAHA has done with the CINEMA DSP technology.

USING SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS

Note

What is a sound field?

USING SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS

You can select from three different sound field programs

(MUSIC, MOVIE and SPORTS) depending on the type of

sources you want to enjoy.

• The CINEMA DSP programs are not available if the stereo

mode (see page 42) or the target mode (see page 43) is selected

as the beam mode.

• If the CINEMA DSP programs are not available, “Prohibit”

appears in the front panel display when you press one of the

sound field program buttons on the remote control.

■Music program

Select this sound field program when you play music

sources. This program produces a vibrant atmosphere and

lets you feel as if you are seated in an actual rock or jazz

concert hall.

1Press YSP on the remote control to switch to

the operation mode of this unit.

2Press MUSIC on the remote control to select

the music sound field program.

■Movie program

Select this sound field program when you play movie

sources, especially the ones encoded in Dolby Digital,

DTS or Dolby Surround. This program clearly reproduces

dialog and sound effects, thus creating a broad and

expansive cinematic space amid silence.

1Press YSP on the remote control to switch to

the operation mode of this unit.

2Press MOVIE on the remote control to select

the movie sound field program.

■Sports program

Select this sound field program when you play sports

sources. This program densely concentrates the vocal

sound of the commentator in the center while broadening

the sound from the audience or the environment all around

your listening room.

1Press YSP on the remote control to switch to

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES

In addition to controlling this unit, the remote control can also operate other A/V components made by YAMAHA and

other manufacturers. To control other components, you must set up the remote control with the appropriate remote

control codes.

Depending on the external A/V component you are using, you may not be able to operate the component with the remote control, even

if a remote control code is set. In this case, operate the component using the supplied remote control.

You can control other components by setting the

appropriate remote control codes. Codes can be set up for

each input area (TV, STB, DVD, VCR and AUX).

For a complete list of available remote control codes, refer

to “LIST OF REMOTE CONTROL CODES” at the end of

this manual.

1While holding down CODE SET, press the

input selector button for the component you

want to set up and then without releasing

CODE SET, enter the remote control code

using the numeric buttons.

The following illustrations show an example of

setting the remote control code for a DVD player

made by YAMAHA.

2Refer to “Controlling other components” on

page 83 to operate the external component

using the remote control.

If the external component functions correctly, the

remote control code setup was successful.

If the external component does not function correctly,

the remote control code may be incorrect. Confirm

that the remote control code is correct (see “LIST OF

REMOTE CONTROL CODES” at the end of this

manual) and start over from step 1.

If the manufacturer of your component has more than one code,

try each of them until you find the correct one.

GLOSSARY

■Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives

you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3

front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround

stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio

channels. With an additional channel especially for bass

effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has

a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By

using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more

accurate moving sound effects and surround sound

environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The

wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum

volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the

precise sound orientation generated using digital sound

processing provide listeners with previously unheard of

excitement and realism.

With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up

to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for

your enjoyment.

■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). Music and Game modes are also available for

2-channel sources in addition to the Movie mode.

■Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system

to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front

left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog

(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound

effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces

sound within a narrow frequency range.

Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes

and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as

well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit

employs a digital signal processing system that

automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to

enhance moving sound effects and directionality.

■DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

Digital Surround

DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog

soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound

track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie

theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.

has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy

the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of

DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces

practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically, a

left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus

an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1-

channels). The unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that

enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding the surround

back channel to existing 5.1-channel format.

■Neo:6

Neo:6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6

channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables

playback with the full-range channels with higher

separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two

modes are available; Music mode for playing music

sources and Cinema mode for movies.

■PCM (Linear PCM)

Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog

audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without

using any compression. This is used as a method of

recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a

technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per

very small unit of time. Standing for pulse code

modulation, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and

then modulated for recording.

■LFE 0.1 channel

This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.

The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.

This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a

low frequency range compared to the full-range

reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or

DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.

This quick reference guide explains steps to connect a TV and a DVD player to this unit and achieve the surround sound effects in a quick, easy manner.

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 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 following 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 5 cm of space above or below this unit.

Install this unit where there are no obstacles such as furniture obstructing the path of sound beams. Otherwise, the desired surround sound effects may not be achieved.

You may install this unit in parallel with the wall or in the corner.

Connect this unit to external components such as your TV, DVD player, VCR, digital satellite tuner, cable TV tuner, game console and a subwoofer.

■Connecting a TV and a DVD player

Connect a TV and a DVD player to this unit. If you connect a subwoofer to this unit, you can enjoy reinforced low bass sounds.

For further information on connecting other components, see pages 14 to 20 in the supplied Owner’s Manual.

■Installing the optimizer microphone

The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound that this unit produces in your actual listening environment. Refer to the following two diagrams to install the optimizer

microphone in a proper location once it is connected to this unit. If you use a tripod or the supplied cardboard microphone stand to affix the optimizer microphone, try to place the optimizer

microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position.
