Visually Intriguing Speaker
The large speaker units are designed with a focus on simplicity and elegance. As a speaker meant to be visually appreciated, doesn’t it convey the impression of Yamaha fine sound quality?
The “Piano Black Finish” that Yamaha Takes Pride In
Glossy and beautiful, to Yamaha, piano black is a very special color. The elegance and sophistication of the ATS-1010 emanate from its polished black surface, not giving a feeling of its size and perfectly harmonizing with any interior.
Curved Surface Wafts Out Surround Sound
The front is beautifully designed with a gentle curve. This stylish one-bar speaker gives the impression of smoothly wafting out the surround sound to all parts of the room.

Features
Slim, Low-Profile, One-Body Design Allows Positioning in Front of a TV
With a height of only 4-1/4”, the ATS-1010 can be easily positioned in front of a TV so the soundbar straddles the TV stand. With the stand removed, the height can be adjusted. Because both speakers and subwoofers are built in, it fits more easily into available space than separate components.

Glossy Black Finish Matches Flat-Screen TVs
The front panel and top have a rich, glossy "piano black" finish that harmonizes beautifully with the newest thin TVs, for a stylishly compact home theater system.
Can Also Be Hung on a Wall

If the TV is hanging on a wall, you can remove the stand and hang the ATS-1010 on the wall as well.
Stylish Design Achieves Both Visual Beauty and Ease of Use

Although low enough to be placed neatly in front of a TV, the body is beautifully finished with an elegantly curved front surface. It adds a stylish accent to your entertainment area.
Integrated System with Dual Front Speakers and Subwoofer
The ATS-1010 soundbar combines two 2-1/2” cone speakers with a dual-driver (3” cones) subwoofer, driven by a digital amp with a total output of 120W. Although compact, its excellent structural design provides a large volume enclosure for both the speakers and subwoofer. The result is powerful, high quality sound that makes TV and movies much more enjoyable.

Bass Reflex Port Contributes to Deep, Rich Bass
The ATS-1010 employs a bass reflex port that has a straight shape and adequate length to provide outstanding bass response together with the large volume cabinet. The duct outlet is shaped like a trumpet bell, which reduces wind noise for better sound clarity.

Dual-Driver Subwoofer Powerfully Reproduces Bass Sounds
The dual-driver subwoofer employs large magnets and large-diameter voice coils to realize dynamic and robust bass sound reproduction. This ensures that the overall sound has a rich sense of presence, making movie effect sounds more realistic.
Saran Net Grille Enhances Sound Definition
The grille protecting the speaker unit is a saran net that allows unimpeded sound flow. All sounds, including vocals and music, are clear and pleasant to listen to.
AIR SURROUND XTREME Provides Powerful Surround Sound
Yamaha’s exclusive AIR SURROUND XTREME reproduces 7.1-channel surround sound with high quality, excellent imaging and rich presence, far superior to that of any other soundbar. You’ll experience an extremely realistic and impressive sound field, with clear dialogue in the front and dynamic sound action at the back and sides.

Compatible with Various Surround Sound Formats
The ATS-1010 sound bar is compatible with popular surround sound formats, such as Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround, so you get the full effect of multichannel movie sound.
Clear Voice Makes Dialogue and Narrations Easy to Hear
Clear Voice raises the level of dialogue and narrations while maintaining overall sound quality. Movies and TV shows, sports commentary and news broadcasts are more clearly audible.
UniVolume Maintains the Same Volume Level
This welcome feature, made possible by Yamaha-developed technology, maintains a consistent volume level between different channels, programs, commercials and input sources. It can be switched on and off.

Audio Delay Control (Lip Sync)
This technology adjusts the timing of the picture and dialogue.
Jack for an Extra Subwoofer
The Subwoofer Out jack lets you connect an additional subwoofer to enjoy even more powerful bass sound.
Built-in IR Flasher for TV Remote Control Signal Transmission

Even if the ATS-1010 blocks the TV’s remote control signal, the IR flasher on the back of the sound bar transmits the signal to the TV so operation is not affected.
Learning Function Allows Operation with the TV Remote Control

The ATS-1010 can “learn” the TV remote control operation, so you can use the TV remote control to turn the ATS-1010 on and off and to adjust its volume.
Simple to Operate Remote Control Supplied

The ATS-1010 remote is simple and easy to use. It lets you turn the power on and off, adjust the volume and do other basic operations, and even lets you switch the surround modes. Together with the Learning function, you can use either the TV remote or the Yamaha remote for easy operation.
Technology
AIR SURROUND XTREME

Achieves surround sound with clarity and sound imaging unlike any other two-speaker system. Hear clear dialogue from the front with distinctly separate surround sounds and smooth movement around the sound field. 7.1 channel technology - articulate sound source expressions from various directions: The AIR SURROUND XTREME has employs a virtual 7.1 channel technology that can independently recreate the surround channel and surround back channel in stereo. The result is clearly and amazingly identifiable sound sources from various directions. Position mode - sideways shift of the most effective listening point: This mode is capable of shifting the most effective listening spot on the row while keeping the sound field of a multi-channel program. The amazing ability to shift the best listening point by a mere balance adjustment provides an ideal surround effect, even when listening while not exactly in between two speakers. Wide mode - widening of the surround effective area: Wide mode is for two to three people listening laterally. Our original technology - "multi-point crosstalk canceling" process - creates a comfortable surround feeling in a much larger area, adding a further value to the AIR SURROUND XTREME for the enjoyment of more than two people.
UniVolume™

UniVolume™ is a Yamaha-developed technology that maintains a consistent volume level between different channels, programs, commercials and input sources. For instance, when watching TV while using UniVolume™, the volume of commercials will not be louder than the program being viewed. The same is true when switching sources to watch a DVD or Blu-ray Disc™ movie or to listen to music on a CD. This is particularly helpful for late night watching and listening when spikes in volume can disturb others in the house or apartment building.
Dolby® Digital

The most popular 5.1 channel home theater sound system. An improvement over Dolby® Pro Logic® in that it offers: 1) Full frequency response in all channels (3 Hz — 20 kHz), 2) discrete surround channels, and 3) a separate track for bass, only, called the Low-Frequency Effects channel.
DTS Digital Surround™

DTS Digital Surround™ was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a 6.1 channel digital sound track and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie theaters around the world. DTS, Inc. has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of DTS Digital Surround™ in your home. This system produces practically distortion-free 6 channel sound (technically, front left and right, center, surround left and right and LFE 0.1 (subwoofer) channels for a total of 5.1 channels). This unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1 channel reproduction by adding the surround back channel to the existing 5.1 channel format.

I have owned Yamaha for the past 25 years and this sound bar maintains the quality I expect from Yamaha. The sound is excellent and a major improvement over the TV's speakers. It has very good bass and voice clarity is excellent. It doesns't have the depth of sound that my Aventage reciever has and I don't expect it to. It does the job in providing great sound without having to power up the reciever when watching TV or older movies.

Comments about Yamaha ats-1010:
This product was exactly what I was looking for as an external speaker system for my Display. I was tired of having to run the TV audio through my stereo system all the time and this was the perfect solution. Easy set up, sounds great (probably better with a sub). I have always found Yamaha's products to be top notch, and the ATS-1010 continues this legacy of performance!

Comments about Yamaha ats-1010:
Sound on my TV was getting poor so I purchased this to avoid a new tv. I liked it so much I purchased another for my bedroom. I bypassed the TV and used the sound from the cable box. I can listen to the TV without the power use for the display and it does not keep me awake. I leave the cable box on and sound on and turn the TV off. What a great way to use it!!!

Comments about Yamaha ats-1010:
This is our first sound bar but we were able to compare to a Samsung bar that had a separate wireless subwoofer....no comparison. This has out standing sound with the subwoofer built into the bar. It improves the sound on the TV so well that we turn the TV volume completely off. Have not owned any yamaha devices but have heard of their excellences....most impressed. Highly recommend.

Comments about Yamaha ats-1010:
I absolutely love this product. I had previously purchased a Vizio soudbar and was disappointed with it. I did a little more research, spent a few more dollars and ended up with this one. I couldn't be happier! Very rich sound. It looks good and sounds fantastic! With the Uni Volume, Clear Voice, and Surround Sound...this soundbar has it all and couldn't be better. I'll be highly recommending this to friends
