Yamaha YAS-201 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer with Advanced YSTII (Air Surround Extreme, UniVolume) (Electronics)

Customer Review

The alternative for clear, powerful sound without Dolby Surround system on the LED TV is a soundbar. Positioned in front of the television is the surround sound from only two speakers here. The type of construction of the large box system presents itself when unpacking content spartan: The Soundbar, the subwoofer, an optical cable, remote control and instructions, more is not needed to wrest his TV or Blu-ray Player reasonable sound.

The Soundbar fits with close to 87 centimeters wide, 12.1 inches deep and only 9.8 centimeters in height in front of almost every flat. Then concealed the Soundbar but the recipient of the TV, the feet can be unscrewed, so that only exactly 8 centimeters height stay left. Should this then still be too much, the remote control of the system is capable of learning. She remembers the infrared signals from the TV remote control and passes them by. Alternatively, the wall mounting is possible on the drilling template.
The installation of the complete system is so simple that you could actually arrive at the idea of ​​having forgotten something here: List of Soundbar, connecting the optical cable, up the subwoofer, turn it on and enjoy. Only small LEDs indicate that the soundbar is ready for operation and the mode in which it is located.

In a few cases it is necessary to teach the TV in the sound options that he now has to spend instead of stereo Dolby, but most devices do this setting automatically when connecting the optical cable. It comes on top of that another advantage of the new system to the fore: The subwoofer is wireless! Thus, he can freely anywhere in the room are to provide deep bass. The soundbar itself has exactly two optical inputs for TV and Blu-ray player. The two boxes each provide 30 watts of output power, plus 100 watt subwoofer. High and medium tones of Soundbar are crystal clear and voluminous. The whole is perfectly supported by the never intrusive subwoofer, which provides wonderful deep bass.

Even the nightly TV program wins with the system, not on level, then at least significantly improved soundscape. Here, however, there is actually a matter in which format the broadcast is being received, and whether the station broadcasts its sound in Dolby Digital or only in stereo. Stereo is just not a Dolby Surround and the feeling of surround sound thus not feasible. For the television, there is the function UniVolume a further improvement because this is like the volume of broadcast advertising, and on a consistent level.

Important in a home theater system is next to fulminant soundscape that dialogues on the screen which can not be superimposed. Since the YAS-201 with all the latest audio formats such as Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS is clear, make dialogues with a Blu-ray is not a problem. It is more difficult, however, with some older DVDs. There are occasionally a quite indistinct sound mix, but what is in the film, not the system. But this situation is corrected, for the Clear Voice function makes. The dialogue is lifted and comes so audibly apparent among viewers, while all other noises fall into the background.

Who can not accommodate an extensive 5.1 or even 7.1 home theater system is available in the YAS-201 is the perfect alternative. The system wants and can also replace no home theater system, but it will enhance the flat screen TV and Blu-ray players as possible. This is also the only two optical inputs. A connection on the receiver is not provided. Simple to install and handle provides the sound bar with Subwoofer maximum sound with minimum effort.
