THE solution for having both surround sound and an uncluttered room.
I now have the new Yamaha YSP 4000 and having tried it out on over twenty different disks, can say without equivocation that it is amazing. So long as you have a room with a good back wall and at least one sidewall, it will deliver incredibly good 5.1 surround sound. Will it be as good as top end systems with five distinct and separate speakers costing $5,000 or more? Of course not. Will it be as good as or better than receiver/speaker systems available today for $3.000? Yes. In other words, thi...

Simple solution for bedroom that works as advertised
Great solution to surround sound when you don't want a complex installation or are unable to run wires to surround speakers. Easy setup, upscaling looks fine, audio sounds much better than tv speakers. I have this hooked up with a DirecTv HR21, Samsung DVR-VR357 (Combo DVD-VCR) and am very happy with the features. Auto setup was quick, easy and very effective. HDMI cable reduced the clutter from about 8 cables to 2. The upscaling even makes vcr media look acceptable on a 32" LCD.
I would ...

Rock n Roll
Bought the sound bar a month ago now and have been thoroughly happy with it. Sound is great, easy to set-up. As a relative novice audiophile I wanted something that was easy and looked good - last thing I wanted was to drill holes run cables and pay someone to have to redecorate.
Couple of things that I think Yamaha could do better; the menu is a little 1980's pong like and difficult to navigate. There is also some confusion on DVD/TV/STB naming on the screen (but I did find an a...

It's Amazing!
I bought one of these last week, it's one of the coolest products I've ever bought. It produces outstanding surround sound. Drilling holes in the floor or walls to run speaker wire was not an option for me. I plugged the Yamaha in, ran the auto set up and boom... surround sound. It sounds like I hung speakers from the rear walls. One thing, without a subwoofer it didn't quite have enough bass. I picked up a cheap subwoofer...and this thing sounds great.

Excellent, one serious flaw that ruins it for HD DVD watchers
Ok well 1st of all this product works great, as long as you plan to play dvds, it is an excellent system. I STRONGLY recommend that you use the manual setup feature, it is infinitely better than auto (though auto is pretty good too)
HUGE CON
the ysp 4000 cannot decode Dolby True HD audio
THAT MEANS DON'T GET IT IF YOU WANT TO WATCH HD DVDs THROUGH HDMI because you can only watch/listen to your awesome media in stereo, while you watch your lower quality DVDs in 5.1 surround ...

Pricey but worth it
If you do not want to run cables all over your room for a surround-sound system, this is the option for you. It's a nice looking unit - it complements my TV very well - and the sound is fantastic, especially when paired with a subwoofer. The initial setup is incredibly easy (makes you wonder why more manufacturers don't do the same) and takes only 2-3 minutes. Once that's done you've got amazing sound coming from this one box!
One word of note: Purchasing this will require your sw...

who needs all the speakers
1 speaker does it all! Many features to make this a good investment.
While the current going rate of about $1600+/- I got it for free..yes free.
I won it w/a 50" Samsung Flatscreen plasma 1080p hd tv, Yamaha YST-SW315 10-Inch Digital Pro Series Subwoofer and a blu-ray dvd player all from Pepsi!

Amazing Sound From 1 Speaker
Quite frankly I could not tell surround sound from plain old TV sounds and was pointed in the direction of the Yamaha YSP4000 by a total tech geek. I had a large room and was not up for ripping up walls to install speakers nor did I want cables running all over the place. I'm totally amazed at the sound this one speaker provides. I also listen to XM and my iPod through a docking station and this system fills the room with sound. LOVE IT!

Nice, but pricy
What's great about it: Sound is great if you have correct room size and shape. Easy to setup
What's not so great: Price is high. Needs extra HDMI input. Need subwoofer. Issues with Blue Ray
"I placed this system in my family room to go along with a Pioneer Kuro HDTV. My wife said NO to a standard 5.1 or 7.1 surround system with all the speakers and wires in this particular room. I have a professionally installed 5.1 system in my basement entertainment room. This syst...

GREAT SOUND, EASY SETUP
What's great about it: EASY TO SETUP, NO WIRES TO RUN EVERYWHERE!!!
What's not so great: Got mine on sale, so price was more than fair.
"I have an older Bose system. Wanted to upgrade after getting a 42" LCD and Blue Ray player. So I started looking around for a system that I could plug both my Sat TV and Blue Ray player into using HDMI cables. But I also wanted a system that was simple, don't like the look of speakers everywhere, nor did I want to run wires everywhe...
