Product Description
True Multi-Channel Surround Sound from All Sources, Including TV. As amazing as it seems, the YSP-1100 can actually deliver multi-channel sound that surrounds listeners the same way that sound from front, center and rear speakers do. DVD movies and other digital sources sound just the way they are suppose to. Dolby Pro Logic II is included, so even 2-channel TV sound can be heard in glorious multi-channel surround. Remember, this is true surround sound, not virtual surround, which can cause listening fatigue.

suprise
By sound freak
I have a 10 month old daughter. she loves to climb on anything to pull herself up into a standing position. She has forced me to rethink my surround sound set up for her safety. I was using a high end sony amp to power my klispch rc-7 speakers on stands. I ordred the YSP-1100 with serious doubts that I would be truely satified after using a 6.1 system for some time. I was wrong. It works realy well. They have made it easy to install and set up. It even keep some features of a traditonal surround system. One can turn the left, center, right, rear right and rear left volume up independently. the sound quality is very claer. The highs are not as bright as the Klipsch but they are better than most. There are recomendations for room size and shape. the room size recommendations are (width 3 to 7 meter, h 2 to 3.5 meter and depth 3 to 7 meter). You will also need four walls in the sitting listing area to reflect the sound. Sound reflection is how it is able to achive the surround sound. I know it sounds like a gimmic but it does work. Here is my list of pro's and con'spro's1. Easy to set up.2. Great sound.3. No running wires between amp and speakers.4. Wall mountable (with optional mounting bracket).5. Sub woofer out put (one rca jack).6. Video inputs (3 conponent and four composite).7. Two audio inputs.8. Digital audio inputs (2 toslink and 1 coax).9. It has a mic to place in the sitting area to allow it to do auto setup.10. You will not have chair setting really close to rear surround speaker.Con's1. No HDMI inputs or outputs.2. You have to have four walls to get great sound.3. The room size does matter.4. If wall mounted be prepared to hide some cables (I ran mine inside the wall, looks great).5. Needs a sub woofer for the full bottom end sound.6. It is recommended that is to installed where no furniture will block the sound for reflecting off the walls.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great sounding surround system (if they meet the room spec and have four walls).

Truly Amazing Surround Sound
By S. Bell
I finally got around to remodeling the bedroom and did a little over and beyond the "honey do list". Since we were remodeling, my wife finally agreed to a TV in the bedroom but didn't want any wires, amps, speakers, ect. in the room to clutter up the new clean look. So I hung a flat panel with this Yamaha YSP-1100 under it. (I highly recommend the wall bracket for an application like this). The sub is hidden in an undisclosed location and yes I hid the wires. Step 1 completed.Step 2 required me to make it work and make it easy. The auto-calibration feature was a snap. My bedroom is rectangular and the YSP-1100 sounds amazing! There's sound coming from all around the room but look honey, "no speakers". I programmed it's "My Beam" feature and so when one of us nod off, the other can still watch TV and not get the "can you turn it down" line.Well it passed inspection from the Executive Director of the Interior aka the Mrs! Bottom line, it sounds amazing, looks cool and I highly recommend it. In fact, now my condo-livin' brother-in-law wants one and yep, it's been added to his "honey do list".

Exceptional all in one unit!
By wvrktguy
I purchased this unit about 1 month ago and I have been nothing but impressed by it. To get the full effect you will need to hook up a external subwoofer. The sound is exceptional and the fact that it is a all in one unit makes it even more appealing. It would be nice to have more than 2 sets of inputs though.
