Digital Surround Projector (w/ 22 Array Speakers): The
digital sound projector uses 22 array speakers controlled by Yamaha's YSP
technology, plus two powerful 2.5" woofer units in an extruded aluminum cabinet to deliver
excellent sound quality with clearly positioned dialogue and superb surround
effects. The 22 array speakers are powered by a 2W x 22ch digital amplifier,
while the dual 2.5" woofers are powered by a 75W x 2ch digital amp. An aluminum
body dampens unwanted vibrations. The Yamaha YSP-4300 soundbar speakers applies
a sophisticated Digital Sound Projector 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 multichannel (up to 7.1ch)
surround sound that sounds just like a multi-speaker system, but without the
need for extra speakers. The result is an expansive sound field that will thrill
you with its three-dimensional properties and outstanding imaging. The YSP-4300
achieves virtual surround sound by directing sound beams off the walls to reach
the listener from various angles. There are a variety of Listening Modes to
choose from:
- Beam Modes for 5.1 Channels:
- 5 Beam: typical surround with five full range
channels
- Stereo + 3 Beam: left and right stereo, plus center
channel and left and right surround channels, ideal for live concert
DVDs to narrow the stage but keep the depth and reflections of the venue
- 3 Beam: outputs only the left, right, and center
channels, widens the ideal listening area. Surround right and left
channels are mixed into the front right and left channels
- Beam Modes for 7.1 Channels:
- 5 BeamPlus2: outputs sound beams from the front
right and left, center, and surround back right and left channels. The
surround right and left channels are mixed into the front right and left
and surround back right and left channels
- Stereo + 3 BeamPlus 2: left and right stereo, plus
center and surround back right and left channels. The surround right and
left channels are mixed into the front right and left and surround back
right and left channels
- 3 Beam: outputs only the left, right, and center
channels. Surround right and left channels and surround back right and
left channels are mixed into the front right and left channels.
- Stereo: 2-channel and 5-channel stereo without surround
processing
- My Surround: for small listening area or when surround
sound effects are unsubstantial due to the listening room conditions
- Target Playback Mode: Target playback mode outputs
sound beams from a single channel for optimal listening from a specific
position.
Note: The digital sound projector can be placed
horizontally on a shelf or a stand above or below your flat-panel TV.
Supplied feet can be attached to increase the height of the soundbar
speaker, if necessary. Positioning can be parallel to a wall or in a corner.
The only major requirement is the room must have side and rear walls for
beam reflection to create the surround effect. The optional wall-mount
bracket (022SPMK20, sold separately) can be used to mount the digital sound
projector speaker to your wall.
Wireless Powered Subwoofer: The YSP-4300 includes a wireless
powered subwoofer that houses a 6.5" woofer inside a bass-reflex cabinet, with
front-firing port, powered by a built-in 75-watt RMS amplifier (130W Peak). The
wireless powered sub does not have to be connected to the soundbar speaker, so
setup and placement is faster and easier. The wireless powered subwoofer can be
positioned vertically or horizontally on a shelf or on the floor. The powered
sub's 6.5" woofer is front-firing when positioned vertically and down-firing
when positioned horizontally. You can adjust the soundbar speaker's subwoofer
volume independent from the speaker's main volume for added bass response. This
subwoofer is capable of delivering powerful movie effect sounds and rich, deep
bass.
- Quality Construction: The powered sub enclosure's thick panels
and internal bracing ensure a strong cabinet. Its circuit board has an ideal
grounding pattern that ensures stable current supply for large amounts of
bass output.
- yAired Technology: The powered sub employs proprietary yAired
wireless technology from Yamaha that uses lossless (uncompressed) signal
transmission to achieve wireless sound quality that is as good as wired
quality and the perfect synchronization between sounds and images for
movies.
- Advanced YST (Yamaha Active Servo Technology): The wireless
powered sub also takes advantage of Yamaha's proprietary Advanced YST
(Yamaha Active Servo Technology) to produce deep and smooth bass. Advanced
YST is a unique system in which the speaker and amplifier work together to
cancel out impedance so the speaker unit has a perfectly linear motion.
Advanced YST helps to ensure the highest levels of sound pressure and
overall performance.
- Linear Port: The Linear Port improves sound dispersion and is
designed to minimize unnecessary noise.
4K Compatible HDMI (v1.4a): The Yamaha YSP-4300's digital
sound projector provides 4 in/1 out HDMI (v1.4a) connections with support for 4K
pass-through and 1080p (60/24Hz) resolution. HDMI v1.4a supports 3D, ARC, Deep
Color, x.v.Color, and Auto Lip-Sync.
- 3D-Ready: The HDMI connections will accept 3D video
from your 3D Blu-ray player and output the video signal in 3D to your
3D-ready HDTV.
- ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature allows audio
to be sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI
cable already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This
eliminates the need for extra cables connected to your television.
- Deep Color: The HDMI inputs/output support Deep Color,
increasing the number of bits available for transmission, meaning more
colors. This results in much greater color fidelity, smooth tonal
transitions, and ultra-fine gradations between colors. It also enables many
times more shades of gray, for higher contrast ratio.
- x.v.Color: The HDMI inputs/output also support
x.v.Color space, reproducing a wide range of colors and displaying almost
all of the colors the human eye can detect.
- Auto Lip-Sync: The YSP-4300 automatically adjusts the
delay in output timing between video signals and audio signals so they match
when you are watching a movie. You can also manual adjust the audio delay
between 0 to 500 ms.
Analog + Digital Audio Inputs: The digital sound projector
is equipped with one analog input (stereo RCA) and three digital audio inputs (2
optical/1 coaxial).
HD Audio Format Decoding: The YSP-4300 decodes HD Audio
signals to ensure that you hear the best possible sound from Blu-ray Disc
players, as well as from all other digital sources. The YSP-4300 supports the
following digital audio formats.

as well as the front speakers for a wraparound effect.`
- Dimension: Adjusts the soundfield either towards the
front or towards the rear of the room.
- Center Width: Moves the center channel output
completely towards the center speaker or towards the front left and right
speakers.
IntelliBeam Automated System Calibration: This Yamaha
exclusive feature ensures optimum multichannel sound reproduction with accurate
image location. By monitoring and analyzing the sound with the microphone
included with the YSP-4300, IntelliBeam automatically sets the best beam angles,
while optimizing the level and frequency response of each beam. This makes
initial setup both extremely simple and acoustically perfect. Make sure there
are no obstacles between the IntelliBeam microphone and the walls in your
listening room, as these objects obstruct the path of the beams. However, any
objects that are in contact with the walls, will be regarded as a protruding
part of the wall. The unit performs the following automatic optimizations with
the aid of the supplied microphone.
- Beam Optimization: This feature optimizes the beam
angle so that the parameter best matches your listening environment.
- Sound Optimization: This feature optimizes the beam
delay, volume, and quality so that the parameters best match your listening
environment.
Note: The YSP-4300 lets you store up to 3 IntelliBeam
settings for easy recall. This is useful for saving settings under varying
conditions (curtains open, curtains closed, etc).
Beam Settings: Once the Auto Setup is complete, you can
fine-tune the Beam Settings.
- Horizontal Angle: Set the horizontal angle of the
listening position relative to the center of the speaker, this adjusts the
angle of each beam to best match your listening position.
- Image Location: Adjusts the sound position of the front right and
left channels.
- Beam Travel Length: Total travel distance from speaker
to reflecting surface to ear for each beam.
- Focal Length: Distance from the speaker to the focal
point of each beam (where the speaker would be if you had five separate
speakers).
10 Cinema DSP Modes: Conventional multichannel audio
reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using
matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA
DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent sound
fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With
dialogue, music and effects ideally located in these separate sound fields, you
will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity
and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls
of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense
theater. You can select 10 different programs, including three Movie, three
Music and five Entertainment modes.
- Music DSP Modes:
- Music Video: reproduces a vibrant environment
- Concert Hall: rich effect of a large round concert
hall with a lot of presence, placing you near the center of the stage
- Jazz Club: recreates "The Bottom Line", a famous
jazz club in New York city, places you right in front of the stage
- Movie DSP Modes:
- Sci-Fi: clearly reproduces dialog and special
effects, mimics a large space
- Spectacle: reproduces a wide and grand environment
- Adventure: reproduces the dynamics and excitement
of fast moving action movies
- Entertainment:
- Sports: converges the commentator's voice on the
center and broadens the overall atmosphere of the stadium
- Talk Show: reproduces the excitement of live talk
shows, while keeping the conversations at a comfortable volume.
- Drama: stabilizes reverberations that match a wide
range of movie genres and offers an optimum 3D feeling.

games, representing the depth and spatial feeling of the field of play
while offering movie-like surround effects
Music Enhancer: Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal
processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that improves the
performance of compressed music formats, including MP3 and WMA. When music is
encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3 or WMA, the frequency
response suffers. This function restores what was lost, so your music always
sounds the way it should. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and
especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as
close to the original as possible
Tone & Balance Control: You can adjust the YSP-4300's Bass &
Treble to increase or decrease the system's high/low frequency sound. You can
also adjust the volume balance of each channel during playback. You adjust the
Front Left, Front Right, Center, Surround Left, Surround Right, and Subwoofer
channels.
Dynamic Range: The Yamaha YSP-4300 provides to Dynamic Range
adjustments.
- Adaptive DRC: Adaptive DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
adjusts the dynamic range in relation to the volume, useful at low volume.
- Dynamic Range: The amount of dynamic range compression
applied to bitstream signals is adjustable; Min/Auto is suitable for low
volume listening, Standard is typical for home use, and Max doesn't compress
the dynamic range at all.
Volume Adjustments: The Yamaha YSP-4300 Digital Sound
Projector System offers unique volume control settings.
- UniVolume: UniVolume is a Yamaha-developed technology
that maintains a consistent volume level between different channels,
programs, commercials and input sources. For instance, when watching TV
while using UniVolume, the volume of commercials will not be louder than the
program being viewed. The same is true when switching sources to watch a DVD
or Blu-ray movie or to listen to music on CD. This is particularly helpful
for late night watching and listening when spikes in volume can disturb
others in the house or apartment building.
- Volume Trim: The level (+/-12) of each input can be
adjusted so the volume remains the same when switching from one input to
another.
- Turn On Volume: The system's volume can be set to come
on at a preset level when power is turned on.
