Yamaha YSP 2200<br />

Effective surround sound in one piece<br />

�The Yamaha YSP-2200 is a digital sound projector system that<br />

looks like a sound bar in terms of its external appearance. It is<br />

thus a sound bar with a difference. The reason it is different is<br />

that it has 16 small speakers located inside it instead of having 1<br />

speaker each for each channel. It has a single external subwoofer<br />

on the outside.<br />

In terms of design the sound bar is sleek and low profile, packing<br />

a lot of power on the inside but not showing it. The build is<br />

sturdy and of a really good quality. It consists of a metallic front<br />

and can be used while being laid in an upright or a flat position.<br />

The Yamaha YSP 2200 scores quite high, in<br />

terms of connectivity<br />

which<br />

is really<br />

a good thing<br />

for any sound bar or sound<br />

amplification system. It supports three<br />

HDMI inputs to name the least besides other connectivity<br />

options via two slots for digital optical audio etc. In its superior<br />

connectivity options it may prove to be a rival of the best<br />

sound bars in the market. The HDMI are equipped with the latest<br />

specifications and can support 3D.<br />

The 16 small speakers enclosed within the sound bar is one of<br />

Yamaha YSP 2200’s biggest bonuses. The 16 speakers each possess<br />

their own sound amplifier and all in all they provide stunning<br />

surround sounds. The sound is really great to hear and the hearing<br />

experience gets a whole lot better.<br />

Plus the Yamaha YSP 2200<br />

provides multiple audio options<br />

suited to each user’s<br />

preferences and situation.<br />

HOME CINEMA<br />

Another great feature of the Yamaha YSP 2200 is that it can allow<br />

for greater power saving with its sleep mode. At the gentle<br />

press of a button the device goes into sleep mode and gradually<br />

decreases its power consumption over 120 minutes.<br />

There are eleven different DSP (Digital Sound Projection) modes<br />

that can be activated with the different buttons provided on the<br />

remote. This is quite stunning a feature for the sound bar to provide<br />

so many different sound options. There are options in the<br />

Movie Mode as well. Examples are Sci-Fi, Adventure and Spectacle.<br />

The Entertainment Mode too has options for Sports, Talk<br />

Shows and Drama Game. There are some other obscure sound<br />

modes too.<br />

The Yamaha YSP 2200 handles 3D relatively well. Its different<br />

sound modes and other options, when adjusted in likeness<br />

to the user’s preferences and situation can<br />

provide really good quality<br />

sound. Its performance<br />

is quite good<br />

and its 16 small speakers<br />

create a major difference<br />

in the positive<br />

direction in relation to<br />

other sound bars in the<br />

market.<br />

There are some other<br />

winning features of the Yamaha<br />

YSP 2200. It comes with Yamaha’s<br />

Universal Dock connection for i-Pod. It has<br />

Bluetooth connectivity and can also be connected to i-Pod wirelessly.<br />

There is also an onscreen LED display and menus that make<br />

the YSP 2200 easier to control.<br />

Overall the YSP 2200 is a powerful performer. It is easy to handle<br />

and control, provides the user a variety of options to suit his/her<br />

needs and is easily and widely connectible and compatible.<br />

This sound bar may greatly improve and change one’s<br />

reception of sound and media itself.<br />
