Yamaha Digital Home Cinema Components
& NATURAL SOUND HiFi Components
The Leader in High Quality Audio and Video Entertainment.
Yamahas involvement with sound began with the production of our first reed organ in 1887. Shortly thereafter, we began making pianos and other instruments, and today we are the worlds largest producer of musical instruments. We also operate a worldwide music school, design concert halls and produce innovative electronic instruments. In recent years, our expertise in analogue and digital technology, including the manufacturing of our own custom-designed LSIs and unrivaled sound processing capabilities, as well as the development of advanced video components, has brought us to the forefront of the home cinema market.

powerful 1.6x zoom lens. And the projector can be used at any height between the top and bottom of the screen. Six User Preset Memories There are six memory positions for storing different combinations of parameter settings. Each can be used for two input signals, making a total of 12 memory conditions. Other Convenient Functions Other features include Smart Zoom for projecting 4:3 broadcasts onto a full 16:9 screen, Cinema Zoom with Zoom Up and Zoom Out for eliminating bars on the top and bottom of the 16:9 screen, selectable video scan, HDMI terminal, operation status lock, lamp power selector and automatic aspect conversion.
PDM-4210: Incredibly Smooth, High-Definition Image Quality.
ALIS Method Panel Technology
This plasma display panel uses an advanced ALIS (Alternate Lighting of Surface) Method to deliver a sharp, clear picture with the smooth, high-definition quality you see in a movie theatre. The ALIS Method employs a screen surface comprised of vertical channels of continuous phosphor material. The pixels are defined electronically rather than physically, allowing each picture element to be smaller than normal. This creates a higher pixel count for a smoother, seamless picture, with edges and curves clearly defined. The PDM-4210 uses the latest ALIS Method technology, which features new plasma gas and luminescent material that are more effective than previous types. The result is a brighter picture (1,100 cd/m2) and higher colour temperature, which makes white areas such as clouds in the sky stand out more vividly. The panel can also display a wider range of colours (16.7 million), with enhanced colour purity.

With other projectors, black contrast may be soft and fuzzy rather than sharp and clear.
Taking Projector Performance to a New Level The DPX-1100 makes use of a wide range of new technologies to deliver extraordinary video performance. Contrast is an incredible 4000:1 and brightness is 800 ANSI lumens. High Resolution Lens A new high resolution lens maintains resolution sensitivity to the edge of the lens. Four anomalous dispersion glass components decrease chromatic aberration while maintaining a short focal point and high zoom magnification. Latest DMD HD2+ Device The projector is equipped with the latest DMD HD2+ device, which uses narrow mirror gaps to improve contrast. Video processing is 10-bit from A/D conversion through to DMD output. Seven-Segment Colour Wheel Yamaha debuts the use of a sevensegment colour wheel, with an ND filter-equipped green segment having been added to the previous wheel. The seven-segment structure reduces dither, while colour reproduction is excellent, with greens especially being more true to life than ever.

LPX-510: Natural Black and advanced functions for enjoying widescreen movies.
High Performance LCD Panels The LPX-510 uses LCD panels capable of projecting high resolution 720p HDTV images and 10-bit video processing gives it the ability to reproduce 1.07 billion colours. 16:9 aspect ratio compatibility means that widescreen movies can be viewed in their entirety. 3D Linear Colour Balance The 3D Linear Colour Balance function maintains the proper balance between the three signals from the LCD panels, adjusting colour irregularities through a range of 15,360 correction points for accurate colour in any type of scene.

Electrode Electrode 1/60 sec Two rows of phosphors emit light together. 1/60 sec 1/60 sec 1/60 sec
Phosphor rows emit light alternatively, doubling the life of the panel
Natural Black Drive System The Natural Black Drive System automatically determines the brightness of the screen and applies the gray scale (contrast) best suited to the scene in order to reproduce both bright and dark areas with small details clearly visible. The contrast ratio is an outstanding 1.000:1 under daylight condition, making it possible for the PDM-4210 to deliver sharp, natural-looking images. Digital Linear Colour Control Digital Linear Colour Control continually maintains the ideal balance between the three main colours (red, green, blue) for optimum colour reproduction in every scene from very dark to very bright. The sharpness and tint of each colour are independently controlled, so you can adjust the tint more precisely. HDTV Capability The PDM-4210 is fully HDTV capable, meaning that 1080i high definition images can be displayed line for line without vertical scaling. The 1,024 x 1,024 resolution provides a completely clean HDTV picture, with no noise at the edges.

Seven-Segment Colour Wheel Principle
Colour Balance System There are three Colour Balance modes: Standard, RGB for adjusting three colours, and RGBYCM for adjusting six colours. There are also six memory presets for storing personal adjustments. Mounting Flexibility Mounting the DPX-1100 is easy and versatile. Lens-to-screen distance can be anywhere from 9 ft. 10 in. to 15 ft. 9 in. (100 screen) thanks to the
Lens Shift, Motorized Iris and Zoom Vertical and horizontal lens shift capability means that the projector does not have to be positioned directly in front of the screen. The motorized iris control can be used to improve contrast and focusing, and the motorized Zoom will expand the image up to 1.5 times.
Picture position at lens shift zero. Picture position adjustable by lens shift.
Cinema Balance Filter The LPX-510 introduces a new Cinema Balance Filter that enhances colour reproduction when viewing in a dark room, such as that typically used for movies. It is an optical filter so dynamic range is not affected.

High Definition CINEMA DSP Technology
Way Beyond Ordinary Surround Sound Conventional multi-channel systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using a relatively simple matrix and steering techniques to create surround sound effects. Yamahas CINEMA DSP Digital technology is much more sophisticated. It naturally decodes the Dolby Digital and DTS movie sound formats, but it also draws on a huge memory of real-world data from actual venues (especially for the music programmes) and input from movie sound technicians. This data is stored and processed on Yamaha-developed LSIs, the most powerful audio chips in the world. Our latest technology, Quad-Field CINEMA DSP actually creates four independent sound fields (front, surround left, surround right and surround back) that merge to envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. You hear movies and music with accurate sound localization, smooth movement across the sound space, exceptional clarity and remarkably realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theatre!
High Definition CINEMA DSP Technology The DSP-Z9 has six times greater DSP capacity than previous models, thanks to an increase from 48kHz to 96kHz/24-bit A/D converters that can accept 96kHz analogue signals for direct digital conversion and processing. Higher density processing enables approximately triple the amount of early reflection data to be handled, for significantly richer surround sound performance. The DSP-Z9 also employs

Triple the Density

192kHz/24-bit D/A conversion and DSP processing and Yamahas 32-Bit Floating-Point Quantization System LSIs (four YSS-930s) for high precision decoding of Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, DTS 96/24, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS Neo:6 and Dolby Pro Logic IIx formats. SILENT CINEMA and Virtual CINEMA DSP SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to hear large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones! This is a variation of CINEMA DSP technology that Yamaha has developed to let you listen in private to movies and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening fatigue. Virtual CINEMA DSP lets you enjoy the effects of CINEMA DSP surround sound without using surround speakers (handy for use in custom installations where some rooms dont have surround speakers). It can be used with the front/ centre/presence speakers or even with just the two front left and right speakers. SILENT CINEMA Sound Field Imaging

Fashionably Slim Styling Unlike most package home cinema systems, the DVR-S200 and DVX-S120 do not have a low-end, box-like appearance. The design team wanted to make them stylish enough to appeal to anyone who carefully chooses good-looking products for their home or apartment, and they succeeded with a slim, innovative design. Even the speakers are tastefully elegant. This is a home cinema you will be eager to show to your friends. Quad-Field and Tri-Field CINEMA DSP Tri-Field CINEMA DSP projects three sound fields into the home cinema: a Presence sound field in the front and two Surround sound fields in the left
Surround and right Surround, resulting in a powerfully realistic three-dimensional soundscape. And now Yamaha also offers QuadField CINEMA DSP via a Phantom mode. It adds an additional Surround back sound field to the Tri-Field system, in order to enjoy the new 6.1channel formats, Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES. One-Touch CINEMA DSP Selection With the DVR-S200 and DVX-S120 you can enjoy Yamahas amazingly realistic CINEMA DSP surround sound, in a choice of 19 programmes. Selecting the four most popular programmes Movie, Music, Sports and Game is quick and easy because the remote control has four buttons clearly marked with icons. Just touch the button and youll hear the sound field change around you. Night Listening Mode for All Surround Programmes When youre listening to movies late at night and turn down the volume during loud scenes, dynamic range suffers and you may miss some dialogue and other sounds. By engaging the Night Listening mode, you can reduce the volume and
still enjoy proper tonal balance and dynamic range. You hear dialogue clearly and the music and action are just as exciting (without the screams and explosions disturbing others). On-Screen Display and Convenient Controls A handy On-Screen Display that includes extensive yet easily understandable setup menus makes it easy to select and adjust desired functions. High Performance Speakers and Subwoofer (DVX-S120) Speakers are extremely important to the success of a home cinema system, and the CinemaStation units are up to the task. The five speakers (two front, two surround and one for the centre to handle mainly dialogue) deliver exceptionally high quality surround sound, and have a compact, stylish design.

Loading Style Files

This instrument features 165 internal styles, but other styles, such as those provided on the CD-ROM and others that can be obtained from the internet (only styles with the.sty sufx), can be loaded into style number 166 and used in the same way as the internal styles. In order to use the style le load function, the le must already have been transferred from the computer to the instrument. The procedure for transferring les from a computer to the instrument is described on page 90 (Transferring Data between the Computer and Instrument). The procedure described below loads a style le that has already been transferred from a computer to the instrument into style number 166.

After about 2 seconds the name of a loadable style le will appear in the display. If multiple loadable style les have been transferred to the instrument, you can use the dial or the [+] and [-] buttons to select the other les in sequence.

Chord Basics

Two or more notes played together constitute a chord. The most basic chord type is the triad consisting of three notes: the root, third, and fth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fth note of the C major scale).
In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the root of the chord (this is the chords root position. using other chord notes for the lowest note results in inversions). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.
Major thirdfour half steps (semitones) Minor thirdthree half steps (semitones)
The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below.

Major 3rd
The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord voicings).

Reading Chord Names

Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or atted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses. all at a glance.

Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made todayparticularly synthesizers, sequencers and computer music related devicesuse MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide standard that allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Naturally, this instrument lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as well as the songs, styles and panel settings. The potential MIDI holds for your live performances and music creation/production is enormoussimply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI data. In this section, youll learn the basics of MIDI and the specic MIDI functions provided by this instrument.

What Is MIDI?

No doubt you have heard the terms acoustic instrument and digital instrument. In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Lets consider a grand piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?
Acoustic guitar note production
Digital instrument note production
Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production?

Connecting to a Computer

For example, lets say you play a C quarter note using the grand piano sound on the instrument. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as with what voice, with which key, about how strong, when was it pressed, and when was it released. Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note.

PC Mode

1 Press and hold the [DEMO/PC] button
A number of MIDI settings need to be made when you want to transfer performance data between the computer and the instrument. The PC Mode item can conveniently make multiple settings for you in one operation. Three settings are available: PC1, PC2, and OFF. This setting is not necessary when transferring song or backup les between the computer and the instrument.

NOTE When the PC2 setting is selected the instruments style, song, demo, song recording, and lesson features cannot be used. NOTE You can also access the PC Mode item by rst pressing the [FUNCTION] button and then using the CATEGORY [ ] and [ ] buttons to locate it (page 83).
Remote Control of MIDI Devices
You can also use this instrument as a remote control device for the Digital Music Notebook application on your computer (via the USB connection)controlling playback, stop and transport functions from the panel.

Remote control keys

To use the remote control functions, simultaneously hold down the lowest two keys on the keyboard (C1 and C#1) and press the appropriate key (shown below).
C6: Fast forward B5: Start A5: Stop G5: Rewind F5: Top (move to the beginning of the song) E5: Metronome ON/OFF
NOTE Remote control of MIDI devices will function independently of the PC2 mode.

Initial Send

This function lets you send the panel setup data to a computer. Before you record performance data to a sequencer application running on your computer, it is a good idea to rst send and record the panel setup data before the actual performance data.
