The good: Sound bar home theater system (no AV receiver required); best-in-class virtual surround processing and overall excellent sound quality ; four HDMI inputs; three digital audio inputs; analog video upconversion; wireless music streaming from an iPod with included adapter; wireless subwoofer kit included; Sirius-ready; FM tuner; automatic speaker calibration.
The bad: Very expensive; doesn't sound appreciably better than step-down YSP-4100; doesn't support 3D video pass-through; no subwoofer included; much larger than many competing models; a true 5.1 home theater system sounds better.
The bottom line: The Yamaha YSP-5100 sound bar has an outstanding assortment of features and best-in-class virtual surround, but it's very expensive and doesn't sound much better than the step-down YSP-4100.

Supports 3D pass through
by heritage10 on September 26, 2010
Pros: Yamaha updated firmware for both YSP-4100 and YSP-5100 and both support 3d. Nice thing is you don't have to run wires and its simple to operate.
Cons: Only problems is price and its too tall meaning you have to raise your TV so that its not covered up by the huge speaker. When yamaha lowers the price to 1300 dollars which is still more than 2 times most other systems its worth buying.
Summary: Good enough for people that don't wish to run tons of speakers and wires, but still would like surround sound
