Serious bang for your buck

Yamaha YAS-107 under a TV

The slim Yamaha YAS-107 sound bar fits under most TVs and delivers serious sound.

Serious bang for your buck

I consider Yamaha's so-called "entry level" sound bars one of the best values in home theatre sound. Their latest value-packed bar — the YAS 107— even features DTS Virtual:X. This special technology simulates three-dimensional sound.

This single, compact unit fits right under your screen on your TV stand or mounts on your wall. Don't let the modest price and super-slim design fool you. Yamaha's powerful drivers and special surround processing give you a large, riveting sound experience. Everything sounds bigger and clearer — effects, dialogue, and music, too.

How does DTS Virtual:X work?

Many sound bars simulate Dolby Atmos or DTS:X by bouncing sound off your walls and ceiling. That's not what's happening here. The drivers inside the YAS-107 sound bar are slightly angled, but they're placed more or less where you'd expect to find them in two-channel bar. There are no upward-firing drivers. Instead, DTS Virtual:X almost completely relies on digital sound processing.

DTS uses what they call "spatial audio techniques" to — my word here — "trick" you into thinking you're hearing sound all around you. Incredibly sophisticated audio delays and adjustments create a larger, wider soundstage. That includes overhead atmospheric effects like leaves rustling on a tall tree or birds chirping above.

Read my article "What is DTS Virtual:X?" for more details 

Binge-watch with better sound

The YAS-107 includes Dolby® and DTS® decoding as well as Yamaha's digital surround processing. Built-in amplifiers power six drivers for rich, full-range sound, with plenty of high-frequency detail. From soft footfalls to jarring collisions, the slim bar adds visceral realism to your favourite movies and shows all by itself.

Bu if you crave even more bass impact, there's a dedicated output for adding an optional powered subwoofer.

Bluetooth lets you play tunes wirelessly

Yamaha didn't forget the music — after all, it's how the company made their name. The YAS-107 has built-in Bluetooth so you can play music wirelessly from your phone or tablet. Special processing cleans up compressed audio files, so all your tunes will sound full and detailed.

Easy hookup and operation

Both HDMI connections are 4K compatible, with full HDCP 2.2 capability — so it will work with 4K TVs with high dynamic range (HDR). You can also use the included optical digital cable to connect the sound bar to your TV. Use your existing TV remote to control power and volume commands, use the included remote, or download the free Yamaha Home Theatre Controller app. This turns your Apple® or Android™ device into a Bluetooth remote.

Features

2.1ch Active Soundbar Speaker: The Yamaha YAS-107 active soundbar speaker features a 2.1ch driver configuration with one 1" dome tweeter and one 2.125" mid-woofer for each of the left & right channels, as well as dual 3" subwoofers for the LFE channel. The YAS-107 delivers 120-watts of power to the enclosed drivers - 30 watts to each of the left & right channels and 60 watts to both subwoofers.

Built-In Subwoofers w/ Bass Extension: The YAS-107 is equipped with dual, built-in subwoofers plus a unique bass reflex port and "Bass Extension" processing to deliver exceptional low-end performance without the need for a separate powered subwoofer. You can adjust the level of the built-in subwoofers independently from the soundbar's overall volume.

Clear Voice: Clear Voice raises the level of dialog and narrations while maintaining overall sound quality. Movies and TV shows, sports commentary and news broadcasts are more clearly audible.

Compressed Music Enhancer: The Compressed Music Enhancer restores frequency response lost during digital compression, so your music sounds the way it should. Optimized for Bluetooth audio transmission, you'll enjoy vivid, lively sound quality during wireless playback. When a compressed source is played, the Compressed Music Enhancer engages automatically.

Dolby Digital & DTS Compatible: The Yamaha YAS-107 soundbar decodes 2ch PCM, multi-channel PCM, Dolby Digital, & DTS audio signals. You can listen to these audio formats in Virtual Surround mode or 2ch Stereo mode. The 2ch Stereo mode is ideal for music, while the Virtual Surround mode provides a much more immersive soundfield for movies. From Yamaha's Home Theater Control App on your Apple iOS or Android device you select between different surround modes - TV Program, Stereo, Movie, Music, Sports, & Game.

Digital Audio Connector Audio Signal Type Audio Signal Format
HDMI 2Ch Linear PCM 2ch, 32-96kHz, 16/20/24-bit
Multichannel Linear PCM 6ch, 32-96kHz, 16/20/24-bit
Bitstream Dolby Digital, DTS
Optical 2Ch Linear PCM 2ch, 32-48Hz, 16/20/24-bit
Bitstream Dolby Digital, DTS

DTS Virtual:X Ready + 3D Surround Mode (via firmware update): DTS Virtual:X compatibility & a 3D Surround playback mode will be available through a firmware update (due August 2017). Once the firmware update is complete, surround sound can be heard not only from horizontal directions, but also from varying heights when DTS Virtual:X is used. DTS Virtual:X can be used with any content (from 2ch to 5.1ch soundtracks), while delivering virtual height & virtual surround processing based on psychoacoustics (not reflective surfaces).

Note: The firmware update can be accessed from Yamaha's website and downloaded onto a USB thumbdrive which will need to be inserted into YAS-107's USB port for update.

HDMI 2.0a: The Yamaha YAS-107 is outfitted with one HDMI 2.0a input and one HDMI ARC 2.0a output that support the latest HDMI 2.0a standards; such as 4K/60Hz, HDCP 2.2, 4:4:4 color subsampling, & HDR (High Dynamic Range) for full support of today's 4K content from Ultra HD Blu-ray & online video services (like Amazon & Netflix).

  • 4K/60Hz: The YAS-107 supports up to 4K (3840x2160 pixels) video @ 60 frames per second through its HDMI input and output. It also supports a 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p video signal.
  • HDCP 2.2: The HDMI input and output also support HDCP 2.2, which fully complies with the latest copyright protection standard for 4K video transmission.
  • HDR 10 (High Dynamic Range): The YAS-107 supports HDR 10. High Dynamic Range video provides enhanced picture quality by simultaneously enabling greater detail for both the dark and bright parts of an image. HDR reproduces a greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels, creating greater contrast. This increased contrast reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth.
  • 4:4:4 Color Subsampling: In addition, the HDMI input and output support RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, and YCbCr 4:2:0 color subsampling (@ 60Hz or 50Hz). With 4:4:4 color subsampling, luminance (brightness) and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate; resulting in an RGB color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image with more colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail.
  • Deep Color & x.v.Color: The soundbar's HDMI jacks support Deep Color & x.v.Color content, which can display a larger color range than standard-definition schemes. The result is a more lifelike, vibrant picture.
  • 3D Ready: The YAS-107 soundbar supports 3D video pass-through (720p/1080p only) from connected 3D-compatible Blu-ray, games and broadcast devices to 3D-compatible HDTVs (all 3D components must be connected via HDMI). Special eyewear will be required for viewing 3D content.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature of the YAS-107's HDMI output allows audio to be sent from your compatible TV to the soundbar through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio and video to your TV. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to your television.

Note: Because with many televisions, the ARC-enabled HDMI input will only pass 2ch PCM from devices connected to the TV via HDMI or analog, we recommend that you connect your Blu-ray player or  Satellite/Cable box to the Yamaha soundbar directly; and then connect the YAS-107's ARC-enabled HDMI output to your TV's ARC-enabled HDMI input. This setup will give you with the best overall sound performance.

Analog & Digital Audio Inputs: The YAS-107 is outfitted with both analog & digital audio outputs to connect to your TV. There is one optical (toslink) digital input that supports 2Ch PCM, 5.1ch Dolby Digital, and 5.1ch DTS audio signals (up to 24-bit/32-48kHz). There is also one stereo minijack (3.5mm) audio input for televisions without an optical digital out.

Note: The digital optical output terminals of many flat-panel TVs only send an audio signal in 5.1ch when receiving Dolby Digital/DTS surround sound from the TV's built-in tuner, network connection, or connected USB device; and will output only 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, or RCA (like your Blue-ray/DVD player or satellite/cable box).

Bluetooth Music Streaming: The Yamaha YAS-107 soundbar speaker system supports Bluetooth (v.4.1+EDR) A2DP wireless audio streaming (up to 33'). This allows you to stream stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled device; such as your Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/table, Windows Phone/PC, or Mac computer/laptop to the YAS-107 soundbar speaker. You will continue to navigate your music and view song/artist information from your Bluetooth-enabled device.

  • Pairing: This unit pairs with your Bluetooth-enabled device with a single press of a button. If a Bluetooth device has been paired before, the unit will connect to the last paired device when the soundbar's Bluetooth source button is pressed. You will need to terminate this connection to pair a new device.
  • SBC + AAC Codecs: In addition to support for the standard SBC Bluetooth audio codec, the Yamaha soundbar speaker offers support of AAC. By supporting AAC, the YAS-107 soundbar offers better audio performance of the music streamed from your Apple iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
  • Bluetooth Standby: The Bluetooth Standby function allows you to turn On or Off the soundbar automatically, linked with the operation of a Bluetooth device.
Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Yamaha YAS-107.

Sub Out: A mono-RCA subwoofer output lets you hook up an optional powered sub (sold separately). The soundbar's built-in subs will continue to produce sound along with the external power sub.

Remote Control: The YAS-107 comes with a sleek, easy-to-use IR remote control for wireless operation of the soundbar speaker. Also, if your TV supports HDMI CEC and you use HDMI connectivity, it is possible to adjust the volume of the sound bar using your TV's remote to simplify day-to-day operation.

Note: This soundbar does not allow you to program your TV remote to operate the speaker, but does offer HDMI control through your compatible TV's remote.

Home Theater Controller App (for iOS & Android): The YAS-107 is compatible with Yamaha's Home Theater Control App (HT Controller) for Apple iOS 9.0+ & Android OS 4.0+ devices. This remote app makes it easy to control the soundbar from your compatible Apple iOS or Android device via a Bluetooth connection. Its intuitive and easy-to-see operating screen uses icons that let you easily perform a variety of operations; including Input, Volume, Audio settings, and Surround modes. Surround modes include TV Program, Stereo, Movie, Music, Sports, & Game.

Mounting Options: Due to its slim profile, the soundbar fits in front of most flat-panel TVs without blocking the screen. If you prefer to wall-mount the speaker, the YAS-107 offers built-in keyhole slots (spaced 18" apart).

  • Table-Top Mount Dimensions: 35.0" (w) x 2.125" (h) x 5.1875" (d)
  • Wall-Mount Dimensions: 35.0" (w) x 5.1875" (h) x 2.125" (d)

Auto Standby: The soundbar will automatically turn off when there is no operation for 8 hours, or not audio input and no operation for 20 minutes.

Customer Q&A

16 questions already asked

Q
Does wall mounting the unit impact the sound? It looks like the tweeters are on the front face and when wall mounted will face down towards the floor.
scott  May 17, 2018
1 answer
A
I did not wall mount mine, so I cannot say what the difference is. However, with the sound going downward, it will bounce off of whatever the sound wave hits first. So, if there is a table or an object below the speaker, the sound will reflect differently than if the sound wave hits the floor. The difference may or may not be noticeable depending on how trained your ear is.
gary  May 17, 2018
Q
If I connect an external subwoofer, what is the frequency response that is output by the sub out connection? Does the output frequency of the built in subwoofers change or do they play the same frequency regardless of whether a sub is connected or not? Does the subwoofer volume on the remote control both the built in subs and the external sub?
glenn  Apr 14, 2018
2 answers
A
I'm afraid the cut off frequency for the subwoofer output is not provided in the owner's manual. However, the soundbar's built-in subs would continue to produce sound along with a connected external powered sub. For more details or to discuss further, please contact an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat.
david  Apr 20, 2018 (Staff)
A
Beyond the remote, Yamaha has an app for iOS/android devices. It's a bit more friendly, you can access 'canned' DSP profiles, tone settings, and the line level volume to the sub; but does NOT have tone/crossover settings for the sub output. I haven't heard any difference in the built-in subs.

We use this sound bar to improve the quality of sound on movies we watch. You have to be aware of what connections; we use the digital optical interconnect between the two; the sound bar takes that; insure your TV has an optical audio out.

No. it is intended as a stand alone unit. The V481 likely has some type of "dialog lift" as my V681 and V475 do

Q
Can this soundbar be controlled via the ir signal from the tv remote similar to the yas-105 can? Not using hdmi pass thru. Will it learn the comands for vol control and pwr without the hdmi control feature?
robert  Jan 05, 2018
2 answers
A
Like John alluded to in his response above, the YAS-107 won't be able to "learn" your TV remote control signals--per the information provided in the owner's manual it appears the only choice for using your TV remote to control power/volume is by connecting the soundbar via HDMI. For more details or to discuss further, please contact an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat. Thanks!
david  Jan 11, 2018 (Staff)

I've had mine about five months, attached to my bedroom TV. HDMI passthru isn't critical. I run the HDMI source straight into my TV; and feed the TV optical audio back into the soundbar. In this setup, volume is controlled on the soundbar. If you don't mind sacrificing some audio quality, you could feed the TV composite audio (red/white RCA) back into the soundbar - but note that it's not the best sound, and functionality depends on your TV. You'll want the TV speakers completely OFF using the soundbar; but the TV might disable the VOL+/- keys when the speakers are OFF; the TV might not disable the speakers. That said, the YAS will not 'learn' remote codes (usually the remote learns device IR codes). It can be controlled using Yamaha's Bluetooth smartphone app; its own remote; or any number of universal IR remotes. I use a Harmony SmartHub with either the Harmony remote; or my iPhone or iPad (using either the Harmony or Yamaha apps). The Harmony hub makes it all operate seamlessly. As long as the hub is on WiFi, you can operate it using a smartphone or tablet app - it doesn't require a matching remote (although it's convenient to have one).

Q
The unit I have says virtual x, but do I still need to do the firmware update?
michael  Dec 14, 2017
6 answers
A
It depends on your DirecTV receivers and remotes. It will work with Genie STBs (including wireless Genie mini) and the RC71 remote. Note that using any STB or TV remote may not allow access to all soundbar settings. A good 3rd party universal remote should allow access to all settings. For example: I have a subwoofer attached to mine; the subwoofer level controls of the soundbar aren't available using DirecTV or TV remotes. They are, however, available using the Yamaha Bluetooth app via smartphone/tablet; and from my Harmony hub.

david  Dec 14, 2017

I asked Yamaha the same question. They said "no, if you can set it to 3D surround and see the blue light, the firmware upgrade was already installed at the factory." You can also tell by the sound difference. Not sure why Crutchfirld doesn't know this. Last time I asked, they didn't even know the YAS-107 was capable of DTS Virtual:X.

Q
I have a 3-4-year-old LG Smart TV. Will this sound bar work with Ethernet? (I do not have wi-fi.) If so, are there special cables I will need for hook up? When using this sound bar, does the sound stay 'stable' ~ 'level'? I now have a 3-4-year-old Yamaha sound bar which I love, yet lately when watching through Netflix, the sound goes really loud when music comes on, so I need to lower the volume, only to have to turn it up when people begin to talk. Not so much fun sitting with the volume control. Are there any other questions I might ask yet am not knowing to?
leah  Dec 12, 2017
1 answer
A
It doesn't need Ethernet to work. It comes with an optical cable. That goes from your TV optical OUT to the soundbar optical IN. Your LG smart TV probably has an optical OUT. This is the most common way people use soundbars.. It has an IN for a mini stereo plug too, like for a CD player or MP3 player or whatever. This would be the way you hook up an old TV with only Red and White audio jacks, using a mini-stereo to RCA cable. It has an HDMI IN and an HDMI OUT (ARC) if you want to use it in between your cable box and your TV. Your LG probably has ARC so I would do that option, but you'd need HDMI cables. ARC would need to be enabled on your TV, it's in the audio settings. ARC is awesome so if you can do it that way, I'd recommend it. Basically anything playing from your TV would go through your soundbar, plus the TV volume and TV power controls the soundbar if ARC is enabled. The manual shows all the options of hooking it up. ARC is the best, but your TV needs ARC enabled, and you need (2) HDMI cables, which you might have already. Yamaha website has the manual for download if you want to see exactly how to hook it up. Google Yamaha YAS-107 owner's manual. Sound is stable and sounds really good. I watch Netflix all the time too, and I don't have to fiddle with volumes. Make sure you set your TV's volume to "fixed" or "speakers off" or whatever. You don't want your TV's weak speakers interfering with the sound from your nice soundbar. Usually it's a setting in your TV's audio menu. Merry Christmas! buy yourself this good soundbar

donald  Dec 12, 2017

I just looked at the manual and I'm pretty certain there is no way to add an additional amplifier to the unit. There are just no inputs for that type of device. It can be connected to a subwoofer, but it has to be a powered subwoofer.

Q
Does the soundbar auto detect signal if connected to a Chromecast (Audio-AUX), just like ZVOX?
ravi  Nov 27, 2017

A
If your TV has ARC, then use HDMI between your cable box and soundbar (HDMI IN), and HDMI between soundbar (HDMI OUT/ARC) and TV. You need to find the ARC HDMI connector on your TV. You need to enable ARC in your TV's settings. Most newer TVs have ARC on at least one specific HDMI connector. With ARC, basically anything playing from your TV would go through your soundbar, plus the TV volume and TV power controls the soundbar. So even if your Chromecast is in an HDMI of your TV, the audio would still flow from the ARC-enabled HDMI cable of your TV to the soundbar. So put your chromecast/fire stick/roku on an HDMI of your TV that is NOT ARC-enabled, and use the ARC HDMI of your TV as the one facing the HDMI OUT/ARC of the soundbar. I hope this helps
dave  Dec 21, 2017

I have not tried using a Chromecast with this but my Roku device works great. I have a Samsung with a One Connect Box. I connected my cable box to HDMI 4 and my Roku to HDMI 3 and the Sound Bar audio works for both. When I switch to HDMI 4 the cable box works and I can hear it. When I switch to HDMI 3 the Roku works and I can hear it. Hope this helps.
mark  Nov 27, 2017

No. It is actually pretty frustrating as every time I switch devices (change HDMI input) it requires me to shut off and turn back sound bar on.

If you have a Genie system and RC71 remote, it shouldn't matter whether you're connected via HDMI, optical, coax digital, or composite. The Remote Setup features built into the DirecTV settings menus will configure the RC71 to control the volume ON THE SOUNDBAR. It's not hard to get it setup, poke around in the Settings menus looking for Remote Setup - then follow the prompts.

No. The YAS-107 does not support the addition of wired or wireless surround speakers.

Q
Can the sound bar volume on the YAS-107 be controlled by the Directv remote?

If you have a Genie system and RC71 remote, it shouldn't matter whether you're connected via HDMI, optical, coax digital, or composite. The Remote Setup features built into the DirecTV settings menus will configure the RC71 to control the volume ON THE SOUNDBAR. It's not hard to get it setup, poke around in the Settings menus looking for Remote Setup - then follow the prompts.Enter an answer to this question.

If your TV has ARC, then use HDMI between directTV box and soundbar (HDMI IN), and HDMI between soundbar (HDMI OUT/ARC) and TV. You need to find the ARC HDMI connector on your TV. You need to enable ARC in your TV's settings. Most newer TVs have ARC on at least one specific HDMI connector. With ARC, basically anything playing from your TV would go through your soundbar, plus the TV volume and TV power controls the soundbar.

If you look at page 29 of the YAS-107 Owner's Manual, it gives instructions for syncing it with at TV remote. I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know if it could work with the DirecTV remote instead of the actual TV remote.

IDK. We don't have Direct TV.

Not sure about DirecTv, but my Comcast remote does control the soundbar volume and power as well.

Don't know for sure but I use my TWC/Spectrum cable remote and it works for the soundbar. Follow the setup directions that come with soundbar and your remote should work.
