Yamaha YAS-207

Can I use the ( NETGEAR N600 WiFi Cable Modem Router Model C3700) with my YAS-207 for streaming from my computer/internet which also has a Modem Router hooked up to it? Thanks for your help Stitch

Yes

[ JOE Mar 20, 2020 ]

Sure

Is it correct to deduce that these yamaha sound bars do not include MusicCast?

You don't really specify over what type of connection, but I can say the Bluetooth works great. I use it from my iPad and Mb pro and the sound is really good! And obviously the HDMI is flawless too.

[ Steve Feb 25, 2019 ]

[ Thelord Jan 25, 2019 ]

does this soundbar work with 220 v?

I would advise a call to the Crutchfield help line for advice and or set up on musiccast

[ IVAN Jan 30, 2019 ]

Not sure what MusicCast is, but don't think this has it. It does provide great sound though, and rarely have to turn the subwoofer up. "clear voice" is a nice feature.

[ terry Jan 29, 2019 ]

I don't think we know what MusicCast is. Can ask one of the kids and let you know!

I hear a buzzing sound on this sound bar when I'm playing a movie. Does anyone else hear it or know if I can fix it?

I think it should only be 110 ?

[ jesse Dec 27, 2018 ]

Hi, without some kind of power inverter, I believe this speaker system only runs off 110v.

[ Robert Dec 27, 2018 ]

I can't say with certainty, but probably not. My son has the YAS-207 at college so I'm not able to check the electrical label. However, I have the YAS-203 here in front of me and it's only for 120V, 60Hz.

Can anyone answer this: Is the Surround Sound effective? I heard the Bose soundbar and it borders on ventriloquism 3D tricks that are fantastic, but I'm not crazy about Bose sound. I am huge Yamaha & JBL fan. So, this unit caught my eye. Is the Yamaha bar effective at throwing sound effects around the room like the Bose does? Thanks!

No buzzing on mine. Your picking up interference from something close by.

[ JOE Mar 20, 2020 ]

fortunately I have never heard that buzzing sound on mine

I had this bar setup in a bedroom with standard height ceilings, no carpet so good reverberation setup.. I was obsessed trying to get the feature youre speaking of. The best I was able to achieve was mild at best it was definitely loud treble wise, I personally found the bass on the weaker side . I occasionally heard it around me but I was rarely tricked into believing the way the Bose does it. I tried different YouTube video demonstrations for positional audio, moved the sound bar and room around updated firmware to make sure I was getting all the right colors for DTS X or Dolby surround. In the end my sound bar some how became weak sounding ....turning it all the way up sounded about the same loudness as my TV. There is an off chance that the design of my room with furniture affected performance or mine was somehow defective. Ultimately I ended up buying an LG SJ9 bar and getting surround speakers. To me the watts of the new bar made a tremendous difference and the bass is movie theatreesque. My brother got a jbl 3.1 (actual name of the bar) bar the surround effect isn't amazing but it terms of raw power from a sound bar it is great.

[ Derek Sep 28, 2018 ]

The room I have it set up in is very open, with high ceilings, so it doesn't seem to be very effective as a surround unit. The sound quality is good, though. I think it would be great in a smaller or enclosed room.

[ Tyler Sep 27, 2018 ]

It depends on what you mean. The bass is great and you can't tell where it is comming from - it works as "surround". The center channel is clear, but does not surround you as a 7 channel system would.

[ Randy Sep 27, 2018 ]

I think if you want a clean sounding sound bar this is it. It does do a good job of giving you a surround sound effect right in front of you. I feel like the acoustics of any given room will either heighten it or lessen the effects. The sound bar sounds great. I will caution you that I myself am on my third unit. First I had a popping sub. Then it continued on the second unit. The third unit just stopped working. I wonder if Yamaha has ironed it all out. I did buy it just as it was released. But the sound of the system is fantastic. I would also say a try to keep the sub close. Some furniture has affected the connection for me.

[ Adam Sep 27, 2018 ]

Any problems with subwoofer cutout, resolutions?

[ James Aug 11, 2018 ]

Yep, mine didn't last a year. I moved it closer to the bar reconnect and try and reconnect and try.i ended up storing it because it just doesn't work right. I bought an lg sj9 for replacmeent.

[ Derek Aug 11, 2018 ]

I have on and off again subwoofer popping and I'm three models in. I did by a power conditioner to see if it would remedy the problem and it seems to have cut it down to almost a pop every couple weeks. As for cutting out I don't seem to have any issues as long as the sub is next to the unit. So that is a knock against the wirelsss feature of the unit. When working perfect there isn't a better sound bar for the buck. Don't be afraid to contact them if you think it's a warranty issue. They were very fast with that process. I appreciated it.

[ Adam Aug 11, 2018 ]

What do you mean by "cutout"? My setup works great by the way, and listening to music on it really brings out the quality of the sound.

[ Steve Aug 11, 2018 ]

No issues

[ Richard Aug 11, 2018 ]

I have not had any issues with the subwoofer cutting out. The Bluetooth connection has been consistent, with the sub about 6 feet from the sound bar in the same room.

[ Tom Aug 11, 2018 ]

No problems.

[ Peter Aug 11, 2018 ]

Does the yas 207 2018 model have the option firmware already installed?

[ Richard May 04, 2018 ]

Does this unit support multi-voltage where I can use it in other countries having 220V power supply?

No, but you can upgrade it with the new firmware. Just download the last software from Yamaha web and follow the instructions.

[ Santos Mar 18, 2018 ]

Can this set up be connected to SONOS. If so, do I need the use a connect AMP or any other SONOS recommended product ?

[ Liquid Mar 16, 2018 ]

Does this soundbar match the power state of your TV and turn off & on with the TV?

no it will not work with anything like that

[ jesse Mar 30, 2018 ]

To my knowledge, the Yamaha YAS-207 does not connect to the SONOS eco system. I have the YAS-207 connected to my TV and a separate SONOS Play 5 for music.

Anyone else have issues of video coming thru hdmi arc but no audio? Sometimes I have to completely turn off the tv, or go thru the audio inputs to get it back.

Mine goes off with tv but I turn on each time. Have not put forth any effort to see if I could get to come on as well.

[ Michael Jan 03, 2018 ]

No it does not. It has to be powered off separately. If you're looking at this for 3d sound because of dts x it is not a great performer. Reason: upward firing speakers like Dolby atmos systems are non existent. This was done in a 12x12 room with standard 8 ft. Ceilings. The encompassing 3d sound makes it seem louder and once in a great while with right content it can trick the ears but this is an extremely rare occurrence.

[ Derek Jan 02, 2018 ]

Yes it does with the arc hdmi port.

I always had the same problem I tried everything and still no audio, I do not use the sound bar because of this.

[ jesse Dec 01, 2017 ]

I have never experienced this problem.

[ Elizabeth Dec 01, 2017 ]

I have the opposite issue sometimes. I use an XBOX One S and it did the same thing with my Samsung sound bar. I think the handshake with the Xbox isn't the best.

Is it possible to expand the set-up bay adding wireless Bluetooth speakers?

[ James Nov 29, 2017 ]

Does the unit have a lot of lights on it when it is powered off? I want to install it in a bedroom but dislike lots of LED lights shining in my eyes.

I am not aware of any method for connecting additional speaker to this soundbar. The bass module is a Bluetooth appliaance, of course, but other speaker connections are hardwired and internal.

[ LowerColumbia Nov 30, 2017 ]

This sound bar doesn't have this ability on its own. If your source (assume HD TV) supports Bluetooth, you're on your way. I'm using this bar in a fairly large family room and the sound is fabulous - especially in its surround mode.

When it's off, there are no lights. Even when it's on, there are no lights on. The lights only come on when you are changing settings. Then they turn off after a few seconds.

[ Tom Dec 03, 2017 ]

Front is dark when off. Might have one red on in back when not in use.

[ Michael Nov 28, 2017 ]

The unit has No lights on when switched off

[ Gary Nov 28, 2017 ]

[ Victor Nov 28, 2017 ]

No, the soundbar does not have any lights on when it is turned off. When it is turned on you can turn its LED lights off for that matter.

[ Wyatt Nov 28, 2017 ]

No lights when powered off and you can toggle the lights off while powered on. Less of a distraction when using it at night.

[ James Nov 28, 2017 ]

No lights when turned off. You can also set the dimmer when unit is turned on.

[ Tyler Nov 28, 2017 ]

I believe it just one standby led light that's on but the lights are so small and don't think it'll cause your room to illuminate much.

[ Iyu Nov 28, 2017 ]

No, lights go off

[ Steve Nov 28, 2017 ]

can you just leave the sound bar on when you shut off the TV?

[ dennis Nov 13, 2017 ]

Does the back of this sound bar contain threaded screw/bolt holes? I want to hang it below and supported by my UHDTV using universal sound bar brackets/mounts that attach to either the back of the TV or the TV's wall hanging hardware. The only notes I can find reference it having keyhole slots. Thanks!

Yes but I don't

[ Gary Nov 13, 2017 ]

Yes you can. For example you can stream music or sound from a smartphone or other device if paired through Bluetooth .

[ Jason Nov 13, 2017 ]

How is the sound bar connected to the tv? HDMI or Optical cable.

[ Kerry Nov 13, 2017 ]

Where do you get the brackets for this product to hang?

It's got keyhole slots from what I can see on my unit. I hope that helps. Just the bolt hanger slots.

No brackets needed. Mounting hangers Pre installed. Just Wall Anchors an ur ready for One Outstanding Sound Bar!

[ VELLURE Sep 13, 2017 ]

they should be in the box also you can use wall anchors that have screws then fit the sound bar on the screws

[ philip Sep 06, 2017 ]

The sound bar mounts with 2 non-included commercially available screws into drywall. The instruction manual provides a general recommendation for dimension ranges of screws that would work. A printed-out drill template is also included in the packaging so you can simply tape it up against the wall, and drill the two holes.

[ Christopher Sep 06, 2017 ]

The Yamaha 207 has built in keyhole slots on the back so you can mount it on the wall with two screws Enter

Does anyone have this in a room with high ceilings? If so, how does it perform?

[ Alexander Aug 28, 2017 ]

I've got super high ceilings, and it still fills the room really well.

[ Adam Aug 28, 2017 ]

I installed this in two rooms which have high ceilings. For the price, I'm bery impressed. One of my locations is an outside cover porch with about 15' high ceiling. It's a large porch and the sound brings full deep rich experience. The set up was a breeze with wireless woofer. I also have ysp-5600 which brings more virtual speakers; however, the 207 is a better value and delivers. Try it! I had to send back one unused unit and Critchfield is a pleasure to works with...

[ David Aug 28, 2017 ]

Had mine in a large room did not work well

[ Gary Aug 28, 2017 ]

Yes, and it performs well. We have ours in a room with a 24 foot ceiling, and we are very happy with the sound quality.

[ Tom Aug 28, 2017 ]

I have vaulted ceilings, system sounds great. Maybe not super loud, but I have small children and a dog, don't need an ear-bleeder system. Sound quality is excellent, though. Especially with the added voice clarification.

[ Tyler Aug 28, 2017 ]

It states that in order to perform the required firmware update you must download then upload it onto a USB drive, and insert it into the sound bar. Our household only has wireless devices. Does anyone know if it is possible to connect an iPad or iPhone via the lights bolt connection(which has a USB end) into the sound bar to upload the firmware?

[ Matt Aug 23, 2017 ]

This will not work. The upgrade must be done via a USB drive. See Yamaha's website for specific upgrade instructions.

[ AJ S. Aug 27, 2017 ]

I doubt it. You can download the firmware from a friends computer onto a USB drive. The firmware makes a huge difference in sound quality so it's definitely worth the trouble.

[ Christopher Aug 24, 2017 ]

I have the same dilemma here, and have not found a way around it. Our phones and tablets seem to struggle with decompressing the file and the trick of downloading onto a USB chip. (Or the struggle is my own lack of savvy with the process!) I think I'm going to end up at a computer shop asking someone to do the deed on a Mac or PC so I can take the Zip drive home and plug it in. I am interested in hearing what all the hubbub is about.

[ LowerColumbia Aug 24, 2017 ]

It is NOT possible to do a firmware update like that. My advice would be to go to someone's house, download on a NEW USB, (this is a must) and then perform the update. Let me know if you have more questions.

[ Jonathan Aug 24, 2017 ]

I have no idea got to do the same to mine

Can't seem to get the sound bar to connect with my tv through the hdmi arc. It recognizes my TV (TCL 55P605) but I can't get any audio to come out of the soundbar. The TV audio continues to just come out of the TV itself, any recommendations?

The only thing I can think of is to make sure the HDMI control on the tv hardware menu is set to digital out and the tv's internal speakers of disabled.

I had to change the input settings on my tv to the hdmi port that the sound bar was connected to. Then use the hdmi button on the sound bar remote to complete the process. You may have to use the menu screen on your tv and select sound then select a speaker other than your tv. It took me a whil

[ IVAN Aug 10, 2017 ]

Have you try the HDMI input on the sound bar? Also, I have to change the Audio output under my TV setting in order to get the sound come out to the sounds bar on all devices.

[ Gary Aug 09, 2017 ]

Mark, I had the same issue with connecting through the digital optical port. I had to go into settings for the TV itself under sound out. Its an LG TV and the options are to go through the TV speaker, HDMI, optical or wireless.

Make sure you press the HDMI button on the remote.

Hi, is possible, but this is my first time with a Yamaha product.

Yes. If your TV supports HDMI CEC and connect the Yamaha to your TV with an HDMI cable, it is possible to adjust the volume of the sound bar using your TV's remote. You will find this information, and more, by clicking the "Details" tab on the speaker's main webpage and scrolling down below the "Features & Specs" table. I hope that helps.
