#Amazing projector for the money (2009-06-18) Excellent product giving vivid colours on a 86 inch plus image. Also came with very handy carry-case as standard.

Compact and convenient, the YSP-600 gives you high quality surround sound and much more, including IntelliBeam Automated System Calibration, HDMI in/out, and 6 beam modes.

#Ideal for opera lovers (2009-06-29) The one thing which prevents me giving it 5 stars is the absence of a radio tuner, which would not have been too much to ask for at this price. This unit is particularly good for anyone who often plays DVDs of opera as these do not have lots of special effects so there is not a lot of point in going for a full 5 speaker setup, it reproduces the orchestra and singers well and gives a feeling of the ambience of the opera house or concert hall. But it is not a miracle worker so older recordings will still be prone to sounding less than perfect and ma...

#Promising (2009-06-28) The Yamaha does create surround sound effects with movies when used on the 5-beam, 3-beam or my surround mode. Even if your room configuration is not ideal the my surround mode will work. For normal TV viewing I found little difference between the TV speaker(Sony LCD) and the Yamaha which is to be expected. The Yamaha can also be used with music sources. I have a Squeezebox Duet connected to the unit via optical. Music sounds better on Stereo than on the beam modes but my surround also works and creates a wider sound-field. I didn t find the music perform...

#Great alternative if you can t have a full surround system (2009-04-12) Bought the YSP600 and a Yamaha YST FSW050 subwoofer - they both fit under the TV on the stand so it s all in one place with no speakers around the room. At first it took a day or so to get used to the slight shift in the sound source as it is now fired from under the TV from the YSP rather than from the TV speakers, but now it seems totally normal. I use it in stereo for standard over the air TV watching and 5. 1 mode for DVDs. The YSP600 provides a good alternative to a proper surround sound system. It gives ...

#Sound at last (2009-03-01) I used to have difficulty hearing the voices, especially on films. The T. V. sound being turned to the full. Since I installed the Yamaha sound surround system I find I need to turn down the sound button. Every sound is heard now. This is a wonderful device which I would not want to be without.

#fantastic (2008-12-13) ive got the YST-FSW050 and it is fantastic the size the sound all very good got it connected to the Yamaha YSP-600 with my panasonic 50pz tv all i can say you will be blown away with the sound 5 stars all the way

#Poor focus and image (2009-06-01) Bought this item to display movies from the ipod and was really disappointed with the quality of the image and the lack of focus control and returned it. Searched for another projector and found the Microvision Pico P which is coming out later in the year which uses lasers and promises better images and always in focus. The early video of it on their website looks really good. Looking to check it out once it comes and hope it is better than the last purchase.

#Beware (2009-04-12) You can only use this projector with an ipod not a computer. . . . lots of hassle and haven t managed to use yet. . .

#Brilliant, but with huge flaws (2009-03-09) The Pico is so brilliant in so many ways, allowing you to watch pictures or videos on the move, pretty much anywhere. I ve connected the Pico both an iPod touch, iPod nano, and Microsoft Zune, and on all three devices, the picture was far better than I expected, assuming a good quality video rip. The colours were good, and in total darkness we could easily watch a video of 50 or so inches. The battery life, while not stunning, easily went up to 1. 5 hours on max brightness, and with 2 included batteries, chances are you ll be just fine. ...

#rubbish (2009-02-14) got it for work, wrong reasoncouldnt get a decent picture, then bulb went after 10 minsso returned!

#Great for a motorhome ! Great for anywhere really (2008-12-17) I bought one for my husband to use in the motorhome, its so dark in there and you can project it of the blinds its just great. Its easy to use, just wish they had supplied a ipod cable, luckly we had one. For us it worked straight out of the box without any problems or issues with focus wheels etc. It was simple to use really and the quality is great - pixels are not a issue. We are using it for ipod movies, dvds, tv and also for presentations. It really is very good my only negative point is the speaker but you...
