True Multi-Channel Surround Sound Enjoyment from a Compact Component
As amazing as it seems, the YSP-800 can actually deliver multiple channels of sound that surround listeners the same way that sound from front, center, and surround speakers does. There is a wider range of optimum listening positions thanks to the proliferation of audio "sweet spots."

Thin Profile Designed to Match Smaller Video Displays
Flat Panel LCD and plasma monitors are becoming very popular, but many people wish they could also have this speakers, rather than the usual boxes to the front and sides. The YSP-800 compact, slim profile is a perfect match for 32-inch and also smaller TVs and video monitors.

Simple Connection and Flexible Placement
Connecting the YSP-800 is much simpler than with conventional home theater systems, because multiple speaker cables are not necessary. Placement is flexible - the component can be positioned above or below the display in the front-center of the room, or in either of the front corners. It is compact enough that space should not be a problem in almost any setting. It can also be wall-mounted or placed on a shelf or rack.

IntelliBeam Automated Calibration System
This Yamaha exclusive feature ensures optimum multi-channel sound reproduction with accurate image location by monitoring and analyzing the sound with the microphone included with the YSP-800. IntelliBeam automatically sets the best beam angles and modes while optimizing the level and frequency response of each beam. This makes initial setup both extremely simple while acoustically perfect. Manual setup is also possible.

3 Cinema DSP Programs, Dolby Digital and DTS
Yamaha ultra-sophisticated CINEMA DSP technology creates thrillingly realistic soundscapes in your room. Three CINEMA DSP programs are available (Movie, Music, Sports). The YSP-800 is compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby ProLogic II (Movie, Music, and Game) and DTS Neo:6 (Cinema and Music) sound formats.

Two Volume Modes: Night Listening Enhancer and TV Equal Volume
During low-volume listening, such as late at night, dynamic range suffers and you may miss some sounds. The Night Listening Enhancer offers two settings, Cinema and Music, with three-level selectability, which will ensure that you dont miss movie dialogue or quiet passages, or lose overall surround spaciousness. There is also a TV Equal Volume mode to prevent sudden bursts of loud sound such as from commercials.

Yamaha Original Digital Amplifier
The YSP-800 incorporates digital amplifiers that power 21 beam drivers at 2W each and two woofers and 20W each, a total of 82W of power. Its advanced digital design is highly efficient and keeps distortion to an absolute minimum.
