Reviews of the Yamaha Digital Sound Projector YSP-1100 (black)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The long and sleek Yamaha YSP-1100 is a single-speaker virtual surround system that uses 40 1.5-inch drivers to bounce sound off walls and create enveloping surround effects while a pair of 4.25-inch woofers produce the bass. Built-in digital amplifiers, Dolby/DTS and proprietary sound processing, and video switching features eliminate--or at least minimize--the need for an A/V receiver. Supereasy automated setup with the supplied microphone.
The Bad: The YSP-1100 sounds best in sparsely furnished rooms, and the My Beam focus effect doesn't work as advertised. Video connectivity lacks S-Video and HDMI options.
The Bottom Line: Yamaha's YSP-1100, its best-ever Digital Sound Projector single-speaker surround system, is a breeze to set up and it sounds great on DVD.
