The Yamaha YSP-4100 Digital Sound Projector: Thin Is In When it comes to innovation, sometimes less is more: the YSP-4100, for example. It's much thinner than previous YSP models for a slimmer, more elegant appearance appropriate for your HDTV or OLED TV. Yet its room-filling surround sound is spectacular. The YSP-4100 Digital Sound Projector offers great new features like HD Audio decoding, 1080p-compatible HDMI (4 in and 1 out), IntelliBeam calibration, UniVolume, and numerous listening modes. Also included are two yAired wireless accessories for connecting to your iPod/iPhone and wireless subwoofer. How Digital Sound Projector Technology Works Accurate Projection of Sound Waves Creates Realistic Surround Sound from a Single Speaker Cabinet Five surround sound channels are directly projected from the YSP;innovative acoustic technology creates two more "phantom" channels

A friend of mine who manages an high-end audio store and familiar with both the B&W and Yamaha lines suggested I look at the Yamaha 4100 specifically. It had more features and was almost $700 less. I took his suggestion and have been extremely happy with the YSP-4100. After upgrading the 4100's firmware to the latest version 7.0.3, 3D HDMI pass thru from my Samsung 3D Blu-Ray to Samsung 3D TV also worked properly. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Amazing sound from one device. By Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01 I got a 42" LG5400 for our room. With three kids the husband wanted to be able to sneak away and watch the game while the kids watch cartoons. Somehow being stuck with the small (black and white) college TV set seemed unfair. When it finally broke we upgraded. Instead of buying speakers I looked at a soundbar. I wanted to have great sound without worring about the wires or the kids moving or grabing speakers placed around the room. My friend is an audiophile and he had the 4100 then upgraded to the 5100. He told me the sound difference was minute I went over and tried out his system. I liked it and my 4100 sounds the same. The difference is the 5100 has two 1" balanced-dome tweeters and the cost (approx 300); perhaps there are audiophiles with ears educated enough to tell the difference ... I'm sure they would love to pay $300.00 for any subtle improvements. My friend who also installs systems also helped me install the TV, DVD, Cable box and soundbar. The soundbar is also a receiver so the TV, DVD and Cable box are connected through the 4100. We (my friend with me as assistant) updated the Bios, installed the bracket, mounted the bar and calibrated the sound. The sound is perfect in the room no matter where you are but you can barely hear it in the hall even with the door open. So we can watch TV in our room when the kids are sleeping. I had an electrical outlet put in the wall behind the TV and the wires were run behind the wall so no tangled wires and no wires visible to tempt the children. Plus my husband can now watch the game (football, basketball or baseball) when the kids take over the TV in the family room. I would buy this unit again in a heartbeat. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. What a deal on Sound By meinster I just received the YSP 4100 from our dealer (had to order it in) it was installed on our new home theater room and the set up was incredibly easy. Upgrade the firmware. Plug it in, put in the YPAO microphone, press set up and walk out of the room. The sound bar did the rest. I have a full 7.1 Yamaha sound system in my game room and honestly, If YOU can tell a difference in sound quality, you are simply too picky. The sound bar is perfect for a home theatre room without all the cables (that was the one thing my wife insisted on, NO CABLES!!. The sound is crystal clear and the 3d pass-through does not degrade the picture on our Panasonic 60 inch ST30. The only recommendation that I would suggest, is to add the optional subwoofer, it really adds to the depth of the sound. See all 3 customer reviews...
