When you watch a movie, shadows should stand  
out from the background, black levels should be  
solid even in dark scenes, and blacks should  
maintain their depth when the scene becomes  
brighter. Which is exactly what happens with  
Yamaha Natural Black. Because even though it’s  
usually the bright colors that you notice, how a  
video system reproduces gradations of black is  
extremely important. This is what determines  
contrast, and is very often the difference  
between an image that is merely good, and one  
that is sharp and rich at every level of brightness.  
Yamaha put a great deal of effort into improving  
black reproduction, and with Natural Black, we’ve  
achieved levels of black that are about 18%  
“blacker” than those of conventional projectors.

achieving the fine gradations from white to  
black that make Natural Black so effective.

Numerous Quality Benefits  
Semiconductor  
Digital Light Processing™ technology, developed by Texas  
Instruments, has a number of advantages that caused  
Yamaha to choose it as the basis for this projector. Its  
single panel architecture allows the use of a small,  
lightweight optical system, and the fact that it is a reflective  
rather than transmissive technology provides greater  
efficiency. In addition, the all-digital nature of the DLP™  
system, as opposed to the analog nature of other systems,  
means that color and motion are more accurately  
controlled, resulting in superior image quality.  
The key component of the DLP™ system is the Digital  
Micromirror Device™ optical semiconductor chip. This  
DMD™ switching unit has an array of 786,432 hinged,  
microscopic mirrors which operate as optical switches to  
create a high resolution, full color image. To maximize  
DMD™ quality, Yamaha uses a large 0.9-inch  
semiconductor that generates greater light output than the  
smaller 0.7-inch chip used in other DLP™ projectors, so  
less magnification is required and greater detail is  
obtained.  
The DPX-1 is the first home theater projector to employ a  
true tri-color wheel. Conventional color wheels contain a W,  
or white (transparent), section to brighten them for  
presentations via computer. The W section is not used in  
movie mode, but its presence reduces movie contrast  
because of the extra light transmission.  
The DPX-1 ensures that movies are seen at maximum  
quality by automatically choosing between a 3:2 Pull-  
Down Cinema Progressive Circuit for film and an  
ordinary progressive circuit for video.  
A highly precise 13-Bit Digital Gamma Correction  
Circuit is used to realize the full potential of the excellent  
gradation-producing properties of the DMD™ element. The  
system chooses from among five gamma correction curves  
depending on the input format to ensure maximum image  
quality.  
In order to decrease video noise levels without affecting  
sharpness, a Field-Adaptive Noise Reduction Circuit  
detects the changes in brightness of the images, analyzes  
the images to distinguish between outlines/edges and  
surface areas, and provides the optimum filtering for each  
area.  
By eliminating the W section, the tri-color wheel  
provides greater area for each of the three primary colors  
(red-green-blue, or RGB) that create the images. This  
results in much higher movie image contrast, which is 40%  
better than that of conventional DLP™ projectors (and note  
that other projectors’ contrast ratios often refer to computer  
mode, not movie mode). In terms of color reproduction, the  
tri-color wheel improves the depth and solidity of images in  
colorful scenes which were previously difficult to capture,  
and Texas Instruments’ latest RGB movie sequencing  
further boosts color performance.

The DPX-1 gives you everything you want . . .  
and none of what you don’t want (noise!).  
This  
“Silent”  
DPX-1  
Projector  
Gives You a Lot to Like ...  
The DPX-1’s beauty is more than screen deep — it’s  
also a pleasure to use. We began with the actual  
environment, knowing it’s hard to enjoy a movie when  
you can hear the projector. Even a small noise is  
annoying. So we tasked our engineers with the  
development of a “silent” projector, and they  
succeeded admirably. You’ll also love the on-screen  
display. Not only does it give you more (and more  
useful!) capabilities than ever before, it’s also a breeze  
to use. Everything else, from source compatibility to  
set-up, is designed to eliminate any potential problems.  
All you have to worry about is . . . the snacks.

Numerous Inputs for Full  
Compatibility  
Elegant, Practical Design  
Considering its high performance, the DPX-1 is relatively  
compact and lightweight, presenting no difficulties with  
tabletop use or ceiling installation (it can also be installed  
behind a semi-translucent screen). As this projector is a  
single-lens type, installation is much easier than with a  
three-tube type; all you need to do is adjust the size of the  
screen and bring the image into focus. The lens barrel is  
recessed inside the body and a focus/zoom  
The on-screen display, selectable via the remote control  
unit, offers a wide range of parameters that can be  
adjusted to provide the highest possible image quality in  
all situations. There are Setup and Initial (default) menus,  
and for detailed adjustments, Image and Signal menus.  
This extremely detailed assortment of choices ensures that  
you can achieve the best looking picture for all input  
formats, sources and room conditions. You can even vary  
the position of the menu on the screen!  
A full complement of professional grade inputs are  
provided for a variety of sources, including component  
video with BNC terminals for maximum connection  
integrity, analog RGB and DVI (Digital Visual Interface),  
composite video and S-video. An RS-232C serial interface  
and a +12V trigger out jack output signals to activate other  
components when the projector is powered on.  
Yamaha went to extreme lengths to make the DPX-1 as  
noiseless as possible. We started with a low-noise yet  
powerful Sirocco fan to cool the lamp housing, and  
designed the unit with innovative duct architecture and a  
silencing chamber in the front of the body. The hot exhaust  
air passes through the duct below the lens barrel and is  
led to the silencing chamber, which is lined with porous  
foam to absorb sound. Finally, the air is exhausted from  
the front so it won’t annoy viewers and in a direction that  
prevents the temperature  
ring is provided on the top. The exterior has an  
attractive pearl-mica finish.  
It is also designed to be compatible with a wide range  
of formats, from digital satellite broadcasting with high  
image quality at 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i, to ordinary  
media such as DVD, LD and VCR. If the RGB output from  
a personal computer is input directly through the D-Sub  
15-pin terminal, native solution and expanded XGA images  
are possible, as well as compatibility with compressed  
SXGA images.
