This “Silent” 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.
The DPX-1 gives you everything you want . . .
and none of what you don’t want (noise!).

Ultra-Low 30dB Noise Level
Means You’ll Hear Every Sigh
and Whisper
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
difference from causing an air current in front of the screen and swaying the image.

On-Screen Display with
Extensive Menus
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!

Numerous Inputs for Full
Compatibility
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.
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.

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
ring is provided on the top. The exterior has an attractive pearl-mica finish.
A Remote You’ll Enjoy
Using
The remote control is styled for comfortable one-hand operation. It controls a wide range of functions, including Still (freezes the image), Hide (turns off the image), Aspect (selects display aspects) and of course all the menu selections. You can also use it to access the Digital Keystone Correction function in the
Setup menu, which compensates for trapezoidal distortion when screen and projector are at different heights. You can select two types of correction, Normal and Full Height. A light switch lights up the buttons for 10 seconds.
