You’ve never seen movies look this good up close
—2,700:1 contrast ratio with spectacular color
and clarity for total viewing enjoyment.
The DPX-1000 Digital Cinema Projector will be
the centerpiece of a home theater system that
puts the emphasis clearly on “theater.” It uses
Yamaha’s Natural Black concept to achieve an
incredible 2,700:1 contrast ratio and overall
quality for stunningly clear image quality. Its
design features a high performance optical
engine with a large f2.4 projection lens and a
Picture Management System that uses 10-bit
component signal processing from input to
output. The new 16:9 widescreen DLP™ chip
offers HD-compatible resolution of 1280 x 720
and a 5x color wheel ensures superb color
reproduction. There are also numerous features
for enhanced performance and convenience,
including complete Color Balance Control,
motorized optics for installation flexibility, a
“Silent” projector design and custom installation
solutions. You’ll know how good life can be when
you relax with family and friends and watch your
favorite movies unfold on a super-wide screen in
exquisite color and clarity.
Yamaha Natural Black Concept
How a video system reproduces black and all its
gradations is what determines contrast, and
generally makes the difference between an image
that is merely good and one that is sharp and
richly detailed at every level of brightness. In
quest of superior contrast performance, Yamaha
developed the Natural Black concept, whereby
various technologies, parts and functions combine
to achieve truer, deeper levels of black than those
of conventional home theater projectors.An Optical Engine Far Superior to
Conventional Types
The DPX-1000 utilizes a superior optical
engine with an extremely high quality
projection lens, based on the concept that if
lens performance is low, it is impossible to
take full advantage of the high image quality
resulting from the projector’s advanced
processing. This large diameter lens, with 12
groups and 14 elements and a wide f value of
2.4, incorporates design expertise used to
create high-end single lens reflex and TV
camera lenses. The lens is made of expensive
anomalous dispersion glass with an aspherical
shape and special coating for projector use. It
ensures the highest possible resolution and
contrast. In all performance aspects — color
reproduction, color balance, contrast,
resolution, and above all, film-like rich texture
— the performance of this lens is outstanding.
Motorized Iris Control for Higher Contrast
The DPX-1000 is equipped with a motorized
Optical Iris that synchronizes control of the
projection system and illumination system.
Optimizing the shape of the iris achieves an
extremely high contrast ratio of 2,700:1 in the
Cinema mode, as well as increasing depth of
field and enhancing black level. The prism
shape and lens arrangement are also
optimized, and a low-reflection coating
restricts the reflection of unnecessary light
that reduces contrast. With this system,
contrast is so good that small details that
would ordinarily be masked by black areas 
are visible.
New High Performance 
DLP™ Chip  
The DLP chip used in the
DPX-1000 is Texas
Instruments’ latest 16:9
widescreen version, whichoffers native resolution of 1280 x 720 and HD
compatibility for extreme image accuracy. The
key DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™)
component is the dark metal type for even
deeper blacks, and uses a mirror angle of 12°.
Light leakage to the screen when the
micromirrors are off (when light is not reflected
on the screen from the lamp) is reduced from
previous levels.
Yamaha Signal
Management System
The DPX-1000
features full 10-bit
component signal processing from input to
output. Most projectors use 8-bit processing for
256 levels of gradation, but 10-bit processing
provides four times as many, or 1024. Yamaha’s
Area Adaptive Scaling enables native 720p
display. Faroudja’s DCDi processing, used in the
10-bit mode for 480i signals such as DVD,
effectively reduces “jaggies” with standard
definition sources.

With other projectors,
black contrast may be soft
and fuzzy rather than
sharp and clear. Yamaha Natural Black makes
subtle degrees of black in
textures, shadows and so on
stand out more clearly.

Area Adaptive Scaling 
Almost all input signals are, after being made
progressive, scaled according to the number of
pixels of the projection screen, a factor which
also can affect picture quality. The DPX-1000
uses Yamaha’s original Area Adaptive Scaling
based on precisely determined algorithms.
Performing scaling matched to multi-sided
expansion filters by analyzing the image edge
of the object range creates images with
extremely high resolution.
5x Color Wheel 
The DPX-1000 uses a 5x color wheel to reduce
distortion and ensure superb color accuracy.
This monolithic color wheel is made of a single
piece of glass for lower noise and has a
dichroic coating to enhance color performance.
It is driven by a coreless air bearing motor
with low noise and excellent durability.
3-Color 6-Segment Color Wheel 
						

							Complete Color Balance Control
An extensive range of adjustable
parameters, selectable from the on-screen
menus, provide professional-level color
balance control. You can memorize six
patterns of parameters for each input
terminal, a total of 36 patterns. 
You can also return to the default settings
at any time.
• Black Level
Adjusting the black level, an extremely
important parameter for obtaining movie
quality images, optimizes the reproduction
of black gradations and can correct black
level abnormalities.
• Color Temperature
The color temperature control allows
adjustment of the white point on the
chromaticity coordinates (from 5,000 to
1 0,000 chromaticity), and provides full
access to the other chromaticity
coordinates (red, green, blue, cyan,
magenta, yellow) for fine tuning of the
entire color range. 
Largest Zoom Lens in Its Class for Large
Screen Reproduction, Flexible Installation
The DPX-1000 projection lens not only
reproduces sharp images, it has two
functions that increase installation flexibility
so you can achieve large screen sizes. With
the largest zoom ratio in its class (1.6x), it
can project a wide 100 inch 16:9 image from
only 3m (short focal length) to 4.8m (long
focal length) projection distances. It can also
be installed within a vertical range of 0 to
1.24m thanks to a lens shift function that is
adjustable over a wide range. Because these
adjustments are electrically powered and can
be performed with a remote control, they
can be done after positioning the projector
or installing it on the ceiling. You can create
the optimum viewing environment for
enjoying large screen images anywhere, even
in small rooms.
Quite Operation
Naturally, a
home theater
projector should
be extremely
quiet, and the
DPX-1000 is
unmatched here also. It’s Tri-Silencer system
uses separate lamp, DMD™ and power supply
ducts equipped with chambers paneled with
sound absorbent materials, and cooling fan
operation is minimized by continually
adjusting it according to internal
temperature. The result is noise levels of only
28dB in the Economy mode and 30dB in the
Standard mode. • Gamma Correction
14-bit digital gamma correction is
performed during final signal input to
the DMD™ using a carefully tuned
gamma curve to reproduce finely
calibrated gradations. 10 patterns can be
selected, depending on the type of input.
On-Screen Display with Extensive
Menus
The on-screen display, selectable via the
remote control, 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 more
detailed adjustments, Image and Signal
menus. The extremely large selection of
choices ensures that you can achieve the
sharpest, most natural-looking pictures
for all input formats, sources and room
conditions. You can even vary the
position of the menu on the screen.
