Product Details

Yamaha Black Low-Profile Soundbar, Model YAS101BL

The YAS-101 is a slim, low-profile Sound Bar speaker system featuring the latest AIR SURROUND XTREME technologies and a built-in powerful subwoofer that delivers a 7.1 channel surround sound from a single unit all in a stylish, beautiful piano black finish.

Features:

  • Integrated System with Dual Front Speakers and Subwoofer
    The YAS-101 soundbar combines two 2-1/2” cone speakers with a dual-driver (3” cones) subwoofer, driven by a digital amp with a total output of 120W. Although compact, its excellent structural design provides a large volume enclosure for both the speakers and subwoofer. The result is powerful, high quality sound that makes TV and movies much more enjoyable.

  • Dual-Driver Subwoofer Powerfully Reproduces Bass Sounds
    The dual-driver subwoofer employs large magnets and large-diameter voice coils to realize dynamic and robust bass sound reproduction. This ensures that the overall sound has a rich sense of presence, making movie effect sounds more realistic.

  • Bass Reflex Port Contributes to Deeper, Richer Bass
    The YAS-101 employs a bass reflex port that has a straight shape and adequate length to provide outstanding bass response together with the large volume cabinet. The duct outlet is shaped like a trumpet bell, which reduces wind noise for better sound clarity.

  • Saran Net Grille Enhances Sound Definition
    The grille protecting the speaker unit is a saran net that allows unimpeded sound flow. All sounds, including vocals and music, are clear and pleasant to listen to.

  • AIR SURROUND XTREME Provides Powerful Surround Sound
    Yamaha’s exclusive AIR SURROUND XTREME reproduces 7.1-channel surround sound with high quality, excellent imaging and rich presence, far superior to that of any other soundbar. You’ll experience an extremely realistic and impressive sound field, with clear dialogue in the front and dynamic sound action at the back and sides.

  • Compatible with Various Surround Sound Formats
    The YAS-101 sound bar is compatible with popular surround sound formats, such as Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround, so you get the full effect of multichannel movie sound.

  • Clear Voice Makes Dialogue and Narrations Easy to Hear
    Clear Voice raises the level of dialogue and narrations while maintaining overall sound quality. Movies and TV shows, sports commentary and news broadcasts are more clearly audible.

  • UniVolume Maintains the Same Volume Level
    This welcome feature, made possible by Yamaha-developed technology, maintains a consistent volume level between different channels, programs, commercials and input sources. It can be switched on and off.

  • Audio Delay Control (Lip Sync)
    This technology adjusts the timing of the picture and dialogue.

  • Jack for an Extra Subwoofer
    The Subwoofer Out jack lets you connect an additional subwoofer to enjoy even more powerful bass sound.

  • Slim, Low-Profile, One-Body Design Allows Positioning in Front of a TV
    With a height of only 4-1/4”, the YAS-101 can be easily positioned in front of a TV so the soundbar straddles the TV stand. With the stand removed, the height can be adjusted. Because both speakers and subwoofers are built in, it fits more easily into available space than separate components.

  • Can Also Be Hung on a Wall
    If the TV is hanging on a wall, you can remove the stand and hang the YAS-101 on the wall as well.

  • Built-in IR Flasher for TV Remote Control Signal Transmission
    Even if the YAS-101 blocks the TV’s remote control signal, the IR flasher on the back of the sound bar transmits the signal to the TV so operation is not affected.

  • Learning Function Allows Operation with the TV Remote Control
    The YAS-101 can “learn” the TV remote control operation, so you can use the TV remote control to turn the YAS-101 on and off and to adjust its volume.

  • Simple to Operate Remote Control Supplied
    The YAS-101 remote is simple and easy to use. It lets you turn the power on and off, adjust the volume and do other basic operations, and even lets you switch the surround modes. Together with the Learning function, you can use either the TV remote or the Yamaha remote for easy operation.

  • Stylish Design Achieves Both Visual Beauty and Ease of Use
    Although low enough to be placed neatly in front of a TV, the body is beautifully finished with an elegantly curved front surface. It adds a stylish accent to your entertainment area.

  • Glossy Black Finish Matches Flat-Screen TVs
    The front panel and top have a rich, glossy "piano black" finish that harmonizes beautifully with the newest thin TVs, for a stylishly compact home theater system.

        Comments about Yamaha Black Low-Profile Soundbar:

        The Yamaha YAS-101 works great, with the sound bar learning the cable remote for volume and power. However, after a power outage, the YAS-101 remains in the ON position, while the cable box and the TV must be turned back on. This results in the sound bar being out of sync, and the need to use a second remote or to turn the sound bar off at the unit. Also any volume numbers that show on the TV do not correlate to the actual volume. Overall the YAS-101 is the best value for it's price point.

            I've had this soundbar for 6 weeks and I'm very pleased with it's performance for the money spent. It is best used to improve dialog and give a limited surround sound experience. The subwoofer is adequate but you may want to add one for deeper effects. Set up was easy. This is not a full surround or audiophile system, but I strongly recommend it as an excellent improvement over TV sound.

            Comments about Yamaha Black Low-Profile Soundbar:

            After having this product for about two weeks I fell ready for a proper review. First of all this Yamaha YAS-101 sound bar is amazing! I've been researching sound bars for about a month  prior of making my final decision, going to a local [@] location and other electronic stores, which was only one and also read reviews online. Which It came down to these sound bars: Sony HT-CT 150, VIZIO sound bar, Samsung D450, Samsung D550, Polk Audio IHT4000 and 6000, Boston Acoustic TVee25, Yamaha YAS-101, and Sony HTC-T550. I consider myself an audiophile due to the fact I have a good sense of hearing and appreciate good quality sound. After couple of weeks of looking and researching and reviewing it only came down to a final winner, Yamaha YAS-101!! Comparing also with the price the Yamaha YAS 101 beats them all, all these other units were MORE expensive and u had to worry where to place the sub, which meant more wires. The setup took less then 3 minutes, has an internal sub woofer, clean curvy simple beautiful design, synced my dish network controller and my Samsung controller to it, clutter free, amazing crispy clean sound, no distortion even with the volume at highest!!!! The sub is perfect, the lows on this subwoofer are amazing, and the highs aren't  that high but it works for me even with an option for an external sub I didn't find a need for that :) works wonders with movies and also with your gaming consoles and your music sounds like no other. I really want another one for the gaming room, will purchase another when the time comes. I highly recommend this product to anyone that wants to enhance their tv sound. Yes we know this isn't a true 5.1 or 7.1 setup but i do believe now virtual surround sound,it just works.

              Comments about Yamaha Black Low-Profile Soundbar:

              Though not a "sound projector", sounds really good, clean and clear highs and bass. Surround feature "broadens" sound. I like the internal dual subwoofers and the ability to hook up an external subwoofer and switch between the two. I use external subwoofer for movies for that extra drama. I like the dedicated volume for subwoofer on the remote and the blinking lights that let you know where you are. Easy to sync to my Sony t.v. and comcast remote.

              Uni-volume feature (to equalize commercials, etc.) doesn't seem to make any difference? I found instructions on how to switch back and forth from internal to external subwoofers confusing, but Yamaha tech support was primo and very pleased to help. I looked at other intro sound bars, Sony, Boston, Polk, Energy and thought the Yamaha was a cut above, especially if you don't need or want an external sub.

                    This Yamaha Sound Bar is the perfect match for my 46'' Samsung LED TV.
                    Now I have a sound system at not only sounds great, but I don't need to have all the extra speakers and wires that are always needed on larger external sound systems.

                    Service and delivery comments:

                    Delivery was on time as promised and customer service agent was friendly and very knowledgeable about product line.
