square- or oblong-ish, you should benefit from the 5.1 output with movies (and some TV shows) with sound bounced to surprisingly good effect from the walls to create the rear channels. Provided your room is of a fairly standard shape, i.e. We began testing with a collection of movies, moving through some general TV viewing, topped off with some music and we’d be hard pressed to pick fault with anything save for a little lack of clout with low-end effects. The audio quality of the Yamaha YSP-1600 is really very good indeed, regardless of what you to choose to throw at it.

As noted earlier, there’s also built in Wi-Fi in addition to Bluetooth for streaming from similarly enabled devices.

There’s also an Ethernet port, which would be our choice if you want a stable network streaming environment, a Toslink digital audio input, a 3.5mm stereo jack, a subwoofer output and a USB port used only for software updates and not playback. You will need to check the specifications of your TV to see whether it will pass more than two channels via ARC else you will only get stereo output via the Yamaha.
There’s also an HDMI output with Audio Return Channel (ARC) capability, meaning you can use just one cable between the soundbar and the TV and have any source connected to the display outputting its sound through the YSP-1600. There’s an HDMI 2.0 input, capable of carrying Ultra HD signals up to 60 frames per second, although it’s not fully compatible with Ultra HD Blu-ray players as is won’t pass the High Dynamic Range ( HDR) metadata. It isn't quite as encompassing as the Sonos Beam, but it delivers better bass - though, considering it has a separate subwoofer, I would have liked it to deliver more low end.All the physical connections are housed in a recess to the rear of the unit and they’re a reasonably comprehensive set. Dialog has excellent depth and gravitas, thanks to the subwoofer, and it produces a wide sound when using the 3D Surround mode. The YAS-209 delivered very good sound when I watched TV shows and movies.

Make sure you update the firmware on the soundbar when you install it, as previous versions had a bug that caused Alexa responses to be very loud when video is played. However, it couldn't do everything I wanted it to for example, it couldn't turn the soundbar on or off. Alexa works even when the soundbar is powered off. Yamaha YAS-209 review: Voice controlĪlexa was responsive to my requests - it changed the volume and input on the soundbar and handled typical requests of the assistant as well, such as providing the weather and turning on a Wemo switch. The YAS-209 can connect to only 2.4-GHz wireless networks, or you can use a wired Ethernet cable. To enable Alexa and music streaming, you need to download the free Yamaha Sound Bar app (previously Yamaha soundbars used its HT Controller app), and it walks you through the process of connecting to your network. Yamaha YAS-209 review: InstallationĬonnecting the YAS-209 to my TV using an HDMI cable was straightforward. You can also change the settings through the included remote or the free Yamaha Sound Bar app. You can control power, select the input and activate (or mute) Alexa through touch-sensitive buttons.
The top of the soundbar features LED indicators for the selected input and sound modes those LEDs also show the volume level when you change it. The bass on Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" rattled the floor, and her vocals were still clear.
