Have to restart the unit to get bass to work, sounds like a know issue. Very disappointed I am asking for a refund or replacement with a different model.

Setting up my devices is easy. The instructions are very comprehensive. I loved the way all of my HDMI devices now switch automatically through one HDMI output to the TV, even with the sound bar switched off. I don't have many HDMI inputs on my TV so this feature is a blessing. The option to set up the sub wirelessly or via a cable (supplied) is very good and I find the sub to be subtle and not over dominating. However, getting the bar to sound right in my room is proving a little challenging but that is more down to room shape and the temporary position I have to leave the bar in (its positioned too low at the moment because of my TV stand, but otherwise I am happy to have made the purchase.

A great unit, sounds lovely and clear with super bass tones but one niggle is that the wireless sub drops out occasionally which can be quite frustrating when watching a film. (It would have been five stars but for that). Otherwise, the sound quality will definitely impress you.

In the man cave with 65 inch LG 4K TV. Great for movies, sports and music.

Just a great piece of audio equipment. Living in a flat/apartment meant having a full surround setup wasn't on the cards really. But I also needed something better than the sound that is a part of slim TV's these days. I did my homework and the YSP -2500 seemed by far the best option for cost versus the illusion of a full surround setup. I couldn't be happier.

Couldn't be more satisfied. A little pricey but worth every cent.

This system blows away the competition! I hear the dialogue crystal clear and hearing speakers on the walls which are not there! Great surround effect. I compared with other systems like Bose. The sound is far better with more sound options too. Also the price is affordable when comparing what you get for your money. About 500 less than the Bose not counting a Bluetooth adapter Bose has you buy. This ysp 2500 has it buildt in. Also the Arc wiring is a great feature in eliminating other Wiring. Only wish there were more hdmi's and optical.

The Yamaha YSP-2500 reproduces overwhelmingly real presence and impact-filled bass sound. Two-unit YSP with ultra-refined design and high-grade aluminum chassis. Bluetooth equipped, capable of wireless music play and App control.
True 7.1-channel Surround Sound for Incredible Realism
While most sound bars offer a "virtual surround" experience, the YSP-2500 uses exclusive Digital Sound Projector technology to produce sound beams that reflect off the walls of your room to deliver true 7.1-channel surround sound. The result is an expansive and immersive listening experience that brings your favorite TV shows and movies to life.
How Does Digital Sound Projector Technology Work?
The YSP-2500 employs a high-performance processor to precisely control the timing of 16 digital amplifiers and 16 speakers, creating controlled "beams" of sound. The sound beams are then aimed either directly or by reflection off your walls to arrive at your ears from discrete, channel-appropriate directions.
Easy Sound Calibration for Your Room
The exclusive Yamaha IntelliBeam auto calibration system makes setting up your sound bar easy. Using the supplied microphone to measure room acoustics, IntelliBeam automatically sets the best beam angles while optimizing the level and frequency response of each beam. This makes initial setup both extremely simple and acoustically perfect.
Great Sound for Every Situation
Whether you are watching a movie or sports or just playing some music, the YSP-2500 offers a variety of ideal listening modes. For late-night, when you don't want to disturb others, a special target playback mode points the sound to a single location or you can connect to the front panel headphone jack for an immersive surround sound experience.
Music Streaming with Bluetooth

Cinema DSP Digital Brings Home the Sound Fields of Concert Halls and Theaters
Ultra-sophisticated Yamaha CINEMA DSP Digital technology re-creates the sound fields of some of the world's most famous performance venues. Select from 10 different settings for your listening preference. Cinema DSP Digital programs are created by recording actual sound field data in performance spaces around the world and then applying ultrasophisticated digital processing. Yamaha was the first and is still the leader, in providing this truly amazing, realistic surround sound experience.
HD Audio Format Decoding
The YSP-2500 decodes HD Audio signals to ensure that you hear the best possible sound from Blu-ray Disc players, as well as from all other digital sources.
Compressed Music Enhancer
When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. This function restores what was lost, so your music always sounds the way it should.
Incredibly Slim Design for Easy Positioning
The YSP-2500 stands at a mere 2-7/8" high with the feet installed and only 2" without. The super-slim design allows you to place it in front of a TV without blocking the viewing area of the screen.

And, because there is no need to connect cables, your wireless subwoofer is easy to setup and place - either vertically or horizontally.
Highly Rigid Aluminum Chassis with Thick Aluminum Top Panel Ensures Clear and Rich Sound
With an aluminum front and top panel, the YSP-2500 is designed to prevent unnecessary vibration to ensure the best sound clarity. In addition, the internal structure has been precisely calculated and systematically arranged, optimizing the layout of the speaker drivers to improve sound dispersion. The result is highly accurate, invigorating surround sound.

TV Remote Repeater for Signal Transmission
Even if the YSP-2500 blocks the TV remote's signal, the TV Remote Repeater transmits the signal to the TV so operation is unaffected.
