Pumping up the volume to feel the power of the onscreen antics on the 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Atmos Blu-ray, the YSP-5600 proved it could play loud, no doubt about that.

No other sound bar we've tested has done that before! The benefit is that everyone watching a movie will hear great surround, no matter where they sit, as long as they are 4 or more feet (1.2 meters) in front of the YSP-5600. We're happy to report the YSP-5600's large and spacious imaging was stable as we moved around the CNET listening room, well over to the left or right, and backing away from the speaker to the rear of the room the surround effects remained stable. Switching between Surround and 3D Surround we heard little or no difference.

We corrected that by raising the center channel volume from the remote. We heard a big difference when switching between Stereo and Surround modes, and noted the dialogue from the sound bar's center-channel speakers sometimes sounded recessed and distant in surround mode. The surround field was broad and deep, even if it never reached behind us like a true 5.1 surround system would. The sounds of the astronauts' voices floating about the room, including well forward of the, surpassed the surround effects of all of the other sound bars and sound bases we've tested.ДЄs for Atmos height channel effects, the sound seemed to come from above the plane of the YSP-5600, though it never appeared to be coming from the ceiling. This space thriller about astronauts stranded in orbit did a great job of demonstrating the YSP-5600's spatial capabilities.

The YSP-5600's ability to project a large, clearly focused sound field was immediately apparent with the Dolby Atmos-encoded 'Gravity' Blu-ray. Activating this option disables the 'sub' volume on the remote. If you're not using a sub the unit is set to Front/Wireless by default, which is also enabled if you connect a wireless sub. We ran the IntelliBeam automatic sound optimization system again, and the two Yamahas worked reasonably well together, but now the sub's volume was a little too low! We had hoped the auto setup would take the guesswork out of setting the sub's volume, but the fix is easy enough: we turned the volume up a bit. That helped, but even so we didn't feel the R-110SW was a good match with the YSP-5600, so we replaced that sub with a Yamaha NS-SW300 ($499).

For the next few minutes the IntelliBeam automatic sound optimization system sent a long series of tones, beeps and swooshes through the YSP-5600 sound bar and our Klipsch R-110SW subwoofer.ДЄfter completing the automated setup we noted the subwoofer volume was much too loud, and turned it down with the sound bar's remote control. We positioned the mic in the prime listening position on the couch in the CNET listening room, and initiated the test sequence. To get started we ran the YSP-5600's IntelliBeam automatic sound optimization system with the supplied microphone sitting atop the cardboard mic stand. For you golden-eared audiophiles out there the system will support 24-bit/192kHz FLAC and WAV files, something the leading multiroom system (Sonos) does not. MusicCast enables streaming from your phone, your network or from a number of services including Pandora, Rhapsody, SiriusXM and Internet radio. Like most of Yamaha's latest products, the YSP-5600 includes the company's own proprietary multiroom system called MusicCast.

In addition to AirPlay and Spotify Connect, it also offers Bluetooth (both receiving and streaming to Bluetooth headphones). The Yamaha is well-prepared for wireless music.

The tradeoff, of course, is that the separate system would take up a lot more space. Sonically it could no doubt be bested by an equivalently priced system, say an ELAC Debut 5.2.1 surround speaker kit coupled with an Onkyo TX-NR646. The US price of $1,699 (ВЈ15,99 in the UK) places the sound bar in whole new territory, especially when you consider that to get the maximum benefit you'll need to spend even more on a subwoofer. Of course it's not as immersive as a true multispeaker surround system, and it won't place sound objects above or behind you, but it's still very impressive for a sound bar.ДЄt this price, it'd better be.

The sound bar is able to create a 3D bubble of sound between you and the television that a standard bar just can't emulate. The speaker has a huge sound field with both music and movies. While there are plenty of 'add-on' modules for existing speaker systems, the Yamaha YSP-5600 is the first attempt to provide Atmos and DTS:X in the relatively compact, design-conscious shape of a sound bar.ДЇor the most part Yamaha's efforts are successful.
