DISC Yamaha YAS-203 Front Surround Soundbar System, Black

Full Description

Enjoy immersive surround sound from all kinds of audio sources with Yamaha's Air Surround Xtreme, delivering full, rich sound with a cohesive sense of surround placement. Despite the slim design of the soundbar, the superb structural design allows high capacity cabinet volume for very powerful and clear sound. Yamaha's original Advanced Bass Extension Processing delivers a surprising abundance of bass for the size, so you never feel the lack of strong bass sound.

This 16cm (6-1/2") subwoofer features a large magnet and a front-firing configuration. Its high sound quality design takes advantage of Yamaha?s proprietary Advanced YST II and a Linear Port to produce deep and smooth bass. This subwoofer is capable of delivering powerful movie effect sounds and rich, deep bass, with an ideal grounding pattern in the circuit board that ensures stable current supply for prodigious bass output.

Movies and TV shows, sports commentary and news broadcasts are more clearly audible with the YAS-203's Clear Voice, which raises the level of dialogue and narrations while maintaining overall sound quality. The UniVolume feature maintains the same volume level between different channels, or different network sources such as YouTube, so no more quiet TV shows with ridiculously loud advert breaks. Clear Voice can be switched on and off.

The YAS-203 is compatible with the free Home Theatre Controller app for iOS and Android. Its easy-to-see and easy-to-use operating screen uses icons to let you easily perform a variety of operations including setting surround programs or sound quality while watching your smartphone or tablet screen. Bluetooth performance is better than ever with the YAS-203's support for aptX™ audio coding, delivering full audio bandwidth for sound quality the same as wired listening with both compressed and non-compressed sources. In addition, a Bluetooth standby mode provides the convenience of having the YAS-203 turn on and off automatically.

If you place the sound bar in front of your TV and you cannot operate your TV with the TV's remote control, the IR Flasher with TV Remote Repeater function conveniently sends the TV's remote signal through the sound bar. The YAS-203 can "learn" the TV remote control signal, so you can use the TV remote control to turn the YAS-203 on and off, adjust its volume, and even control the mute function.

The wireless subwoofer delivers powerful, high quality bass sound, and does not have to be connected to the soundbar, making placement faster and easier, no matter what your setup or room layout is. With a height of only 79mm, the soundbar can be easily positioned in front of a TV, and if your TV is wall mounted, you can mount the soundbar just below it for a neat, elegant appearance.
