Yamaha Ysp-5600
128 W, 7.1.2 Channel
Question about Yamaha Ysp-5600
The YSP-5600 reflects the sound and thus represents the 7.1.2 audio, in my flat I have from the sofa to the TV seen only right and behind me a wall left against it is all open and leads to the corridor, would it still give the 7.1.2 sound? or does it only work with all 4 walls near the device?
Helpful answer
The YSP-5600 has a calibration microphone that you place in your seating position and the whole thing calibrates itself fully automatically. It simply uses the reflective surfaces that are available to it. If you don't have a left wall, it will just use the ceiling and then the back to produce the 7.1.2 (I don't have a right wall and it works fine). If you have Dolby Atmos content, it sounds really awesome, but you have to set it relatively loud for that to come across. But you have to realise that it can't replace a real 7.1.2 system.
Furthermore, I would think twice about investing in the Sound Bar at this point in time, as it does NOT have HDR Passtrouth. Unfortunately, this will not be provided with a firmware update, as apparently the hardware for this is not installed. If that doesn't bother you, I can fully recommend it, but only together with the Yamaha NS-SW300 subwoofer. The bar itself had too little pressure for me.
What is also important to mention: The bar is 21 cm high, so your TV has to hang on the wall or stand on a high pedestal, otherwise it will cover your picture. :-)
