Yamaha YAS-103 Soundbar with Bluetooth (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
Experience clear, natural sound from a stylish sound bar that's easy to set up and use. The YAS-103 features dual built-in subwoofers for rich bass, a single-cable connection to your TV, and Bluetooth wireless technology that lets you quickly stream music from your mobile devices.
With gently curving lines and piano black finish, the YAS-103 blends harmoniously with your TV and decor. Mount it to a wall using the included and commercially-available hardware or simply place it on your TV stand. The included feet can straddle the base of your TV or can be removed for a lower-profile.
No need for a separate subwoofer unit! The YAS-103 is equipped with two full-range drivers on the front and two down-firing subwoofers integrated discreetly into the bottom of the bar. Together with Yamaha's original Advanced Bass Extension Processing (surround mode only) the bar delivers a surprising abundance of bass for the size.
The subwoofer drivers, employing large magnets and large-diameter voice coils, work in combination with the large-volume cabinet of the sound bar and bass reflex ports to deliver outstanding bass response. The bass reflex ports have a straight shape and proper length, as well as ducts shaped like trumpet bells, which reduces wind noise for better sound clarity.
Fill your home with music the quick and easy way! Stream music from Bluetooth compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers. The YAS-103 can also be set in Bluetooth standby mode, enabling the bar's power to turn on or off automatically for energy-saving convenience.
The YAS-103 is compatible with a Home Theater Control App (HT Controller), available for download for Apple iOS and Android devices. The app makes it easy to control the sound bar via a Bluetooth connection, including input selections, surround modes, and other settings.
Connect to your large-screen TV with a single digital optical cable — included in the box.
Some sound bars only deliver stereo sound, while others deliver virtual surround sound with inaccurate imaging. The YAS-103 employs Air Surround Xtreme, a Yamaha-exclusive virtual surround technology that reproduces 7.1-channel surround sound with excellent imaging and rich presence, far superior to that of any other sound bar. You'll experience an extremely realistic and impressive sound field, with clear dialogue in the front and dynamic sound action at the back.
The YAS-103 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.
Even if the YAS-103 blocks the TV's remote control, the TV Remote Repeater on the back transmits the signal to the TV so operation is not affected.
The YAS-103 offers a learning feature that allows you to turn the sound bar on/off and control its volume level using your TV's remote control — a great way to reduce the number of remote controls on your coffee table!
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.
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.
