Is it worth paying more for the yas 209 over the 207 ?
Yes but not by a HUGE margin - I"m pretty sure you'd be happy with either one. One caveat though - if you want to control the sound bar VOLUME with the TV's remote (as opposed to the Yamaha's own sound bar remote) as far as I know, only the YAS-209 will allow you to do that through its ARC input. Worth looking into : )
@@davidbee8178 YAS 207 have a ARC HDMI too, so you can control like it like 209
Sound between 207 and 209 are same, the only main difference is Alexa. I tried both and couldn't tell the difference...
@@davidbee8178 tv control remote work with optical too on 207
Great video and I like my Yas-209 over my Yas-207 more features a definite plus.
How is the BASS and clarity of 209 ?I am planning to buy one. POLK and Vizio are not available here at my location.
@@vvpandey1 Very smooth and not loud or punchy just about right when you need it during big action movie scenes.
Thanks
@Jeffery, you were right. Its perfect for a home
Yamaha Yas 209 vs klipsch cinema 600. Which one has better surround sound and bass???
Hi do you know if its now compatable with Google assistant?
I've heard of a serious design issue with YAS-207 which puts me off wireless subs. is this fixed in the YAS-209?
It seems to be the electronics deciding when to output audio to the sub, random muting of the signal then re-instating it. Most obvious with male speech. E.g the voice is higher pitched so the sub is quiet (muted?) then the voice pitch lowers and suddenly the sub is activated as if the male voice is now 'shouting'. This un-natural effect is worse when the bar is under the TV and the sub is behind the sofa.
If Yamaha can't get this right it does not bode well for others.
Apparently it's to do with a cut-off frequency chosen by Yamaha and cannot be fixed on that model.
In my view it would be better to send the full bandwidth signal to the sub and let it do adjustable analogue low pass filtering inside...simple!
Then 3 other problems generally with these things..
There is auto mute. Low signal so the sub mutes. This should be removed.
Random power off..you pause the video and the sub powers off totally after too short a period. An over aggressive power saving feature
Loss of wireless connection...so annoying. Use wires!
So 4 designed-in problems that vary with manufacturer and model
No thanks, that's 4 reasons not to take a risk.
I want one of these things but WHO'S DESIGN CAN YOU TRUST?
Hi I think all the issues have been fixed I too owned the 207 and loved it my first one quit called Yamaha and they sent me a brand new 207 for free! and never had any issues later I got the Yas-209 and love it no problems and yes there were issues with the 207 and none at all with the 209 a pure gem, that doesn't break the bank.
How can connect this Yamaha 209 to mixer bec I want to put microphone bec dosent have AUX input please give me advise what I will do thank u...
Sir how is it as compared to JBL 2.1 DB
I am torn, so I buy this sound bar or the Vizio 38” 5.1? Please help , anyone
IMHO the Vizio represents perhaps a better VALUE but if music and best sound are your priorities you might like the Yamaha YAS-209 a little more . . . I'm in shopping mode too but I hear that the Yamaha is really VERY good on music so that's where I'll be going. I presently have Vizio model (going on it's FITH YEAR!) and I can tell you that it has been stellar and very reliable - it only cost me $170. 00 at Costco and I can vouch that it is a superb buy. If you don't go for the Yamaha then definitely go with the Vizio. Hope this helps.
@@davidbee8178 Update now the 209 is available at Costco cheaper than Amazon!
Vizio stops working after a few months. I have had two different ones and same issue.
Is it usable with a Optoma uhd42 Beamer.
Is the new YAS 109 better than YAS 207? Trying to decide if I should go with YAS 109 or YAS 207.
YAS 109 Has got Alexa built in - subwoofer is also built in, these are the main differences. If you don't need a bass pressure - take 109, if you have a stand alone subwoofer already - than definately YAS-109 - as you can plug it to YAS-109
Andre Newman Thanks. I got YAS 109.
Would you recommend the yas 109
Mark Beggs Yes, absolutely. It’s very nice and it gets loud. Very good sound. Alexa feature comes very handy.
@@Marian1st. thanks for your reply 👍
damn that subwoofer looks so huge though
I’ve got this, how do you get the tv sound come through it , the sound only coming out of my tv speackers and the volume very low can’t hear it . And if there a way to get sound through sound bar how do u do it
Switch the sound bar to TV mode.
My Yamaha sound bar keeps shutting off. Or the white light or on freezes and I got to unplug it the plug it in again to work. Plus the sound bar get extremely hot and shuts off Also my tv Samsung turn on by it self sometime while I’m sleeping and wake up and it on how do I fix
gosh wheres the Yamaha yas 109 new alexa enabled with duel built in 3 inch subs sound soundbar
It is very cool soundbar, even I made tutorial of it.
i like this
How powerful is the bass
Why you repeat this comment in every yas 209 review ?
Ahmed cause I want to know shit
@@TheTruth-ro2tc 😂
Overpriced. Three different speakers with not overlapped ranges. There are better and cheaper options on a market. Just don’t look for thin devices. These are crap
What are better and cheaper options?
Please suggest between Samsung Q60T/Q60R, Yamaha YAS 209 or Polk command bar. Please advise Which one has loudest volume compare to others as my living room is pretty large where I need to set it up with my 4K SAMSUNG TV. Good soundstage, clear vocal and thumping bass is the expectation for ps5/xbox gaming and TV shows and music. Thank you!!
Which one did you end up buying ?
I’ve got a few questions, first of I’ve had this sound bar for at least year 1/2 and have problems with, 1 . Question is my WiFi light on the bar keeps blinking. 2 question is the bar sometime just right of with the all the light on are off and I touch the bar and it’s hot , and 3rd Is some time all the light are on o the bar then they shut off ,but the sound still coming out of it , 4 question is part of the 3rd I unplug the bar and reset it and oat works but there no sound coming out tv 5 final question is once in while when I’m in bed at night or during the day my tv turn on by it self , some time I’m go out town for a week or so come back and it’s on
Wow a better quick review of the Yamaha 209. Pro looking presentation too.

I recently purchased the
Yamaha Yas207 soundbar
and i am having some trouble with the decoding. It is supposed to decode both dts and Dolby codecs but for some reason it is not showing the dts working. I have it connected to my LG 49 inch (UM7300PSA) I have tried several blurays that dts hd soundtracks and still no dts. I also tried several movies with dts and still no results. I don't understand what is the problem or if i am doing something wrong.
Your recommendation Will be greatly appreciated.
Do a firmware update from yamahas site.
could you please review the Yamaha YAS 109 because you must of forgot to make a TH-cam review of that model
At first I had the YAS-109. It is a great soundbar, but after a while the dedicated sub was missing for me. So I sent it back and got the YAS 209 which is a truly great soundbar. Both have great mids, clear sound but if you need the punchier bass than go for the 209.
@@theempreror9608 could you not have got a sub for your 109?
This one or the Polk magnify mini? Please help
If you want best sound clarity go with polk but if you want to go as per the trend go with yamaha
is it recommended
I have just set mine up but the subwoofer, though paired, does not work. Could you help me please?
I just purchased as well and I'm having thre same issue. This sucks.
I returned mine and got my money back. Then I bought the LG sound bar from another seller. I’m very happy with the LG. Amazing sound bar
Have you tried to manually connect it? its in the manual how to pair both the bar and sub together also call Yamaha if all else fails they customer services is outstanding.
@@cedbau9812 Which model?
and nice review!
What if my soundbar has HDMI HDCP version 1.4 and my TV has HDMI 2.0 HDCP 2.2, will that affect the 4k and HDR content?
Yes and no
It depends on what type of connection you use
Is it worth to pay extra money for yas209 ?
Yeah, as it has built in Alexa.
