Yamaha YSP-2200 Digital Sound Projector System - Review
If you don't want to clutter up your room with speakers to get surround sound, there may be an alternative for you: the Yamaha YSP-2200. This system looks like a sound bar/subwoofer system, but is actually a digital sound projector that combines 16 individual speakers (referred to as beam drivers) housed in a central unit with an external subwoofer. The YSP-2200 features audio decoding and processing for most Dolby and DTS surround sound formats and its HDMI inputs are compatible with both 3D and Audio Return Channel. Optional add-ons are also available that enable users to plug in an iPod, iPhone, or Bluetooth adapter. To find out more about Yamaha YSP-2200, and if it is the right audio solution for you, read my review and supplementary photo profile.
