Review

With Yamaha YAS-7, you can get great sound and punchy bass from a simple, room-friendly setup. This two-piece system improves the quality and impact of your TV sound, using advanced Yamaha processing to deliver convincing three-dimensional audio effects. You'll hear dialogue from the front, ambient effects to the sides and rear, and smooth movement all around you. Best of all, it doesn't take up much space - you can wall-mount the sound bar speaker beneath your flat-panel TV, and slip the subwoofer under an end table.

Four different surround modes let you get optimal sound with movies, music, video games, or TV sports. Plus, you can broaden or narrow your listening zone with the touch of a button, depending on the number of people in your home theater "audience." This sound bar also features technology to more accurately process compressed music files, such as MP3s, to reproduce music that sounds closer to the original, uncompressed version.

You won't need a receiver - just connect your DVD player, gaming console, or other audio/video components directly to the YAS-71. The front speaker's six drivers beam sound all around your room, while the subwoofer delivers rich, full bass.If you have an iPod, pick up Yamaha's optional YDS-11 dock to integrate your player into the YAS-71 system and control your music using the system's remote. The YAS-71 even displays your iPod's song titles on its front panel.
