Whats Included

MusicCast Soundbar
Owner's manual

Q: Will it downmix the DTS 5.1 sound input to 2.0 then emulate 7.1 3D surround sound like other soundbars do? I have a large collection of DTS 5.1 movies, just wonder if I can set my apple tv audio to passthrough for this sound bar.

A: undefined

Q: The Best Buy web pages show the Yamaha YSP5600 has only 1 HDMI input but Yamaha's website show the same sound bar with 4 HDMI inputs. How many inputs are there for the Yamaha YSP5600 offered by Best Buy? Thanks

A: 4, im pretty sure only one of them supports 4k though.

Q: How tall is the YSP 5600?

A: 8"

Q: Can these be added as rear speakers?http://www.bestbuy.com/site/onkyo-full-range-dolby-atmos-enabled-add-on-speakers-pair-black/9963239.p?id=1219457266703&skuId=9963239

A: From the research I've done, you can only add a subwoofer to this speakerbar, not any other additional satellites. (It simply doesn't have the outputs for them.)

Q: Any tentative date when this product will be available

A: It is available now, just depends on when they have stock of it. I've seen it online with the add to cart option available two times in the past week. First time i missed it, second time I jumped on it. Just have to be patient and hopefully find it

Q: When will this item be in stock? Other retailers stock this item and have been selling this unit since 1/20/2016

Awesome Technology
I'll start off by saying that I am a fan of soundbars for certain applications. Secondary systems, bedrooms, beginners in HT etc. Most do a decent 2.1 or 3.1 job. However, for a true HT experience I'm sure most would agree that they simply fall short. In my situation, I was replacing a full HT setup as we were doing some remodeling. My wife wanted a much cleaner look without speakers everywhere. To add we have a large room with hardwood floors and a finished basement so we could not run wires under or around anything with ease. I was contemplating going wireless with a sub and rears until I saw this Yamaha that was coming out. I waited patiently for it's release and then waited to hear some initial reviews. I would agree with 99% of them. While nothing fully replicates having actual rear and ceiling speakers, this thing comes amazingly close and certainly close enough to satisfy the vast majority. Our room is 23 feet long with 14 foot vaulted ceilings. I was worried this would create issues where the Yamaha couldn't hold up. It absolutely amazed me after doing the 3 minute initial setup. A sub is a must. Don't kid yourself, a sub is a must in any HT setup. While some may be sticker shocked, the power and build quality (and sound quality) justify the price to me. This thing gets very loud and has very clean sound. The HDR passthrough has an easy workaround as the Samsung 4k Bluray player has 2 HDMI outputs. One just for sound to go to the soundbar and one to run straight to the TV. The Atmos speakers are very convincing as well. All in all I couldn't be happier with the outcome of this and I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a cleaner simpler solution.

Pricey but perhaps the best sound bar.
Fairly easy setup. I'm using with Xbox so I had to change some setting on the xbox to make sure it is not limiting any sound quality. It feels pretty good even without a subwoofer but I am thinking of getting one to get the most out of this sound system. It worked perfectly on my TV rack but you should look up the size before you make your purchase.

Excellent sound you expect from Yamaha
The sound is excellent. It is far superior to the previous YSP-5100. The MusicCast is not a feature I use but it seems to need improvement. Since everything is "smart" these days, it is not clear whether it is better to use the pass through this YSP-5600 or connect DVD Blueray player and cable box directly to TV and just pass the sound from the TV to the YSP-5600. Still experimenting.
