Integrated speaker system with two front speakers and dual-driver subwoofer
The YAS-101 combines two 6.5 cm (2-1/2”) cone speakers with a 7.5 cm dual-driver (3”) subwoofer driven by a digital amp with a total output of 120W. Although compact, the cabinet design provides a large volume enclosure for both the speakers and subwoofer. The result is powerful, high quality audio perfect for movies and television viewing.
Dual-driver subwoofer reproduces powerful bass
The dual-driver subwoofer employs large magnets and large-diameter voice coils to realise dynamic and robust bass reproduction. This ensures that the overall sound has a rich sense of presence, making movie effects sound more realistic.
Bass reflex port contributes to deeper, richer bass
The YAS-101 employs a bass reflex port that is linear in shape and is of 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 enhanced clarity.
Saran net grille enhances sound definition
The grille protecting the speaker unit utilises a Saran net which enables unimpeded audio. All sounds, including vocals and music, are clear and present.
AIR SURROUND XTREME provides powerful surround sound
Yamaha’s exclusive AIR SURROUND XTREME reproduces 7.1 channel surround sound with excellent imaging and rich presence - far superior to that of any other sound bar. Experience an exhilarating sound field with clear dialogue in the front and dynamic sound action from the back and sides.
Compatible with various surround sound formats
The YAS-101 is compatible with popular surround sound formats including Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround to achieve the full effect of multi-channel movie sound.
Clear Voice makes dialogue and narration easy to hear
Clear Voice increases the level of dialogue and narration while maintaining overall sound quality. Movies and TV shows, sports commentary and news broadcasts are more clearly audible.
UniVolume maintains the same volume level
The UniVolume feature 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)
Audio Delay Control adjusts the timing of the audio to match that of the picture - negating any potential discrepancies.
Output jack for an additional subwoofer
The Subwoofer Out jack enables connection of an additional subwoofer to enjoy even more bass.
Slim, low-profile, one-body design allows positioning in front of a TV
With a height of only 10.7 cm (4-1/4”), the YAS-101 can be easily positioned in front of a TV. With the stand removed, the height can be adjusted. Because both speakers and subwoofers are built-in, the versatile YAS-101 fits easily into any space.
Can also be hung on a wall
For wall-mounted TVs, the YAS-101 can be hung with feet removed ensuring it complements any home.
Built-in IR Flasher for TV remote control signal transmission
Even if the YAS-101 blocks the TV's IR receiver, the remote control signal is relayed to the IR flasher on the back of the YAS-101, ensuring the signal to the TV is unaffected.
Learning Function enables operation with the TV remote control
The YAS-101 can “learn” control signals from the TV remote so operation of functions such as power on/off and volume adjustment of the YAS-101 is possible using just the TV remote control.
User-friendly remote control
The YAS-101 remote is simple and easy to use. It lets you turn the power on and off, adjust the volume and as well as switch surround modes. Together with the Learning function, either the TV remote or the Yamaha remote can be used for easy operation.
User-friendly and attractive design
Low enough to be placed discreetly in front of a TV, the cabinet is beautifully finished with an elegantly curved fascia. The YAS-101 adds a stylish accent to any entertainment area.
Black gloss finish matches latest TVs
The YAS-101 features a rich, black gloss finish that complements the latest TVs.
Technology
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (front L/R and center), and 2 surround stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio channels. With an additional channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (Low Frequency Effect), the system has a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The wide dynamic range from maximum to minimum volume reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the precise sound orientation generated using digital sound processing provide listeners with unprecedented excitement and realism. With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for your enjoyment.

DTS Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a 6.1-channel digital sound track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie theaters around the world. DTS, Inc. has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically, front left and right, center, surround left and right, and LFE 0.1 (subwoofer) channels for a total of 5.1 channels). This unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1-channel reproduction by adding the surround back channel to the existing 5.1-channel format.

Air Surround Xtreme
Unlike other "virtual surround" systems, when you listen to Yamaha's AIR SURROUND XTREME, you can actually identify sounds located around and behind you. You hear dialogue from a clear centre channel and other sounds from the front, specific sounds from the other channels to the sides and rear, and smooth sound movement around you. AIR SURROUND XTREME can even deliver surround sound from 7-channel sources.
