True HD Surround Sound
Elegant, Space-Saving Design
Advanced Features
HD Audio Decoding
The YSP-4100 ensures you hear the best possible sound from Blu-ray Disc players, as well as from all other digital sources. It is capable of decoding the two lossless HD Audio formats (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio) as well as the two lossy formats (Dolby Digital Plus and DTS HD high resolution).
Versatile listening modes
The YSP-4100 achieves true surround sound by directing sound beams off the walls to reach the listener from various angles. The main mode is 5 BeamPlus2 for 7-channel sources. In addition, there is a wide variety of other listening modes. You can select 3 Beam + Stereo + 2, 5 Beam, 3 Beam + Stereo, 3 Beam or Stereo, depending on the type of source and your room acoustics.
Digital Sound Projector Technology
The YSP-4100 applies this sophisticated technology to precisely control the orientation of the sound by focusing it through multiple beams. The center channel sound is heard directly, while sounds from other channels are heard after reflecting off walls. The result is true multi-channel surround sound that sounds just like a multi-speaker system – but without the need for extra speakers!
Elegant, Space-Saving Design
Built-in DSP, Speakers and Digital Amplifiers
This slim unit has everything necessary for projecting true surround sound built-in: DSP for Digital Signal Processor, 40 beam drivers, two woofers, two tweeters and digital amplifiers. The two built-in tweeters ensure high stereo sound quality. No other receiver, amplifier or speakers are necessary, making the system extremely compact and economical. This also makes it handy for use in a different room (zone) in a custom multi-zone system. What's more, the shape is even thinner (3½" depth) than previous models.
Advanced Features
1080p-Compatible HDMI (4 In/1 Out)
The YSP-4100 provides HDMI connections (4 in/1 out) with support for 1080p resolution. You can connect multiple HDMI sources and enjoy the highest possible video quality when using a 1080p monitor. It is also capable of repeating 1080p/24fps signals from HDMI input to output, maintaining the superior image quality from Blu-ray Disc players and HDTV set top boxes. HDMI also provides the benefits of Deep Color, x.v.Color and Auto Lip-Sync.
Custom Installation Functions
Video Upconversion
The YSP-4100 provides upconversion of video composite and component signals to HDMI. The signal can then be output via a single HDMI cable to a monitor for enjoying high-definition video quality.
IntelliBeam Automated System Calibration
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-4100, IntelliBeam automatically sets the best beam angles, while optimizing the level and frequency response of each beam. It also offers Direct Start function via remote unit. This makes initial setup both extremely simple and acoustically perfect.
UniVolume
This welcome feature, made possible by Yamaha-developed technology, maintains a consistent volume level between different channels, programs, commercials and input sources. It can be switched on and off.
HDMI CEC Functionality
When the YSP-4100 is connected to a CEC-compatible TV, such as a Panasonic VIERA Link TV, the YSP-4100 will turn on and off together with the TV, also allowing you to use the TV remote unit to control the YSP-4100 volume. With CEC engaged, signals will pass through the YSP-4100 even if it is off. CEC also provides advanced functionality with other components.
Music Enhancer
When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. This function restores what was lost, so your music always sounds the way it should.
Accessories for Added Convenience
yAired Technology for Wireless Connections
Thanks to Yamaha's yAired technology, you can use your YSP-4100 with an iPod and subwoofer without having to connect any cables. The yAired link transmits uncompressed data (linear PCM) so there is no loss of signal data, unlike systems that use Bluetooth technology to send compressed data. This ensures maximum sound quality.
The PDX-50TX provides wireless connection capability to your iPod. This allows you to use the iPod as a remote control while listening to your iPod music, and provides synchronized power on/off. In addition, the iPod charges when it is in the included charging cradle. The SWK-W10 allows the wireless connection of any subwoofer, highly recommended for boosting bass sound. Both of these kits can be used together; when doing so, turning on the iPod automatically turns on the YSP-4100 and the subwoofer.
Optional Space-Saving Accessories
If your TV is not mounted on the wall, Yamaha offers two convenient, space-saving ways to integrate it with your YSP-4100.
