Amazon.com Product Description
The Yamaha YSP-900BL Digital Sound Projector applies the Digital Sound Projector technology to precisely control the orientation of the sound by focusing it through multiple beams to provide multi-surround sound enjoyment from a single compact component. The center channel sound is heard directly while the 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.
The YSP-900BL delivers multi-channel sound that surrounds listeners in the same way that sound from front, center and rear speakers do. DVD movies and other digital sources sound just the way they are supposed to. Dolby Pro Logic II is included so even 2-channel TV's sound can be heard in true multi-channel surround. Its elegant space-saving design avoids the need of numerous speakers and cables. It can be wall mounted or placed on a shelf or rack. The digital amplifier individually drives 21 sound beam drivers at 2W each and two woofers at 20W each for a total of 82W of power to deliver true multi-channel surround sound for this elegant home theater system.

 Easiest setup, excellent sound for what it is... September 13, 2008
KK (Long Island, NY)
I usually care about my audio equipment to be the best my money can buy, although I do not consider myself to be an "audiophile". I do spend more than $100 for my PC speakers, and I have spent more than $1,000 in high-end speakers in the past, but for my new LCD TV, I wanted something that was easy to set-up, yet gave me decent sound to enjoy. I heard about this new sound bar technology from Yamaha, so I gave it a try. I purchased a YSP-800 (the previous generation of YSP-900) to go with my 40" LCD TV. I originally was going to get a 7.1 surround system from Onkyo, but the thought of wires and cables running around the floor just gave me shudders, and even if I reduced the number of speakers down to 5, I'd still have to run wires across the room from the system, and around and behind the couch. I just didn't feel like cluttering the room with wires, and YSP-800 was the perfect answer for that.
For the sound, YSP-800 is amazing. I don't know how it really is doing it, but the rear channel sound actually sounds like coming from behind. And, the weird thing is the left and right channels just seems like coming from the left and right extremes, rather than from the sound bar location. My dog seems to be fooled by the YSP-800's phantom surround, and when the movie makes a big noise in the left direction, my dog and I turn to the left! The channel separation is really that good.
I've listened to two other sound bar systems before I made the purchase, and those are ones from Polk Audio and Philips. Both of them really gives you "virtual surround" but not actual 5.1 channel surround sound. They do a good job of giving you a feel that the sound is "surrounding" you, but not quite the same experience as the ones you get from YSPs.
The only complaint for YSPs, if at all, is the lack of bass. Of course this can be easily remedied by adding a subwoofer, but it would have been nice if a decent woofer was built-in to this unit.
So all in all, if you are even mildly interested in this unit because of the less clutter, but concerned about the sound quality and effectiveness of surround sound, I'd say you absolutely have nothing to worry about. The reason why these sound bars are not cheap is because it does provide great sound without complicated and cluttering wires. So give these YSPs a try, you won't be disappointed.
Amazing September 10, 2008
The bookish health nut (Based in the US but am always on the road for business)
I was a bit skeptical about these Yamaha 'virtual' surround systems as I'd spent some time in studios when I was younger. I did a test run at a Yamaha store and was amazed.
The missus and I were watching a movie and could swear there were birds and such flying around in different parts of the house.
If you want surround sound but don't want cables and speakers (i.e. clutter) then the YSP series is the way to go.
 Great deal. June 30, 2008

You don't have to run wires across the room, all in one convenience and very loud. Those are the 3 reasons for purchasing this item. I also recommend getting the optional Sub if you want the explosions to really BOOM.
Filling a small basement April 5, 2008

I have a small odd-shaped basement with limited electrical power, so I chose this over a conventional set of speakers and amp. My basement is mostly long and narrow, but has an alcove on one side of the TV viewing area that somewhat distorts sound there.
I installed the unit on a high shelf, above the 40" LCD Samsung TV. It is connected to three sources - via optical cable to my Direct-TV HD DVR, via optical cable to my Blu-Ray DVD and via video cable back to the Samsung TV for air reception. It all works just fine, and for those movies that have good sound source the surround is not bad - very good in the front, somewhat good on the sides - virtually nothing behind me as you would expect.
With this device comes it's own remote so rather than mess with all four remotes (TV, DVR, Blu-Ray, DSP), I spent the money to buy a Universal Remote - Harmony 670. It is a dream - I now have a single keystroke that runs everything I need to watch DVD, watch Direct-TV, or watch TV using the air signal.
All in all - very pleased, and especially since when I move someday, this will likely become a system for my bedroom or family room and I will get a bigger more complete surround system for my next home theater room.
Good Value for the money, and seems very reliable.
Great little system. February 21, 2008

I did not want wires and speakers everywhere.So i bought this ysp900 soundbar.Set up was a breeze.It was fast and easy.This Mother was made for a wall.So you should hang it.Otherwise if you sit it on a surface like a bookshelf.It could bend your wires like your optical outs or coxial out wire.This unit produces very little bass.So i recomend a subwoofer perhaps a yamaha yst-fsw100.Thats the sub i use they go great with each other.They are like peas and carrots.I have two of them hooked up via y-splitter.This bar only has one sub out.So if you plan on hooking up two subs like i did.You will need a y-splitter.Monster makes one for around $15 bucks which you will also find on this site.For most normal people one sub is enough.For me two subs really do the trick.Final note.(pros) Great sound from a compact speaker.Built in reciver with different sound fields.(cons) No HDMI support.Base unit does not produce enough bass.For the price the unit should come standard with a sub.
