Yamaha DPX-1 Digital Cinema Projector
Written By: Greg Rogers
A DLP Projector For Home
Theatre
The Yamaha DPX-1 is a Digital
Light Processing (DLP(tm)) projec-
tor designed from the ground up for
home theatre applications. Unlike
many business presentation projec-
tors that are sold to the home enter-
tainment market, Yamaha engineers
addressed several crucial home the-
atre performance issues in the DPX-1. Improvements include darker blacks, less fan
noise, and premium quality deinterlacing and scaling. The result is a video projector
that delivers an outstanding large-screen viewing experience.
Appearance
According to its brochure, the DPX-1 has a pearl-mica exterior. If you don't have an
official Yamaha color chart, I would describe that as an attractive platinum or silver
satin finish. The projector is a compact 16 3/8 x 5 1/8 x 16 5/8 inches (WHD), and
extremely lightweight at just over 17 pounds. That's ideal for hanging from a ceiling, or
concealing in a table between your favorite rocker chairs. It's so quiet and easy to set-
up, you could even haul it out of a closet and place it on a table whenever you want to
enjoy a movie. But I expect anyone with a DPX-1 will use it so often they will want it
permanently installed.
The projector's single-lens optics are recessed into the case, which protects against
fingerprints, or more serious accidental damage. It's easy to adjust the picture size to
fit the screen and focus the image using the manual zoom and focus rings, which are
accessible through an opening in the top cover. Of course, you never have to adjust
convergence or a myriad of geometry controls, which makes installation and mainte-
nance a snap compared to a CRT projector.
Set Up
The DPX-1 can be used in a front projection or a rear projection configuration, hung
from a ceiling or placed on a table below the screen. The optimum vertical distance
from the center of the lens to the top (or bottom) of the screen depends on the screen
size, which also determines the throw distance to the screen. The DPX-1 manual pro-
vides the necessary throw distances and mounting heights for both 4:3 (1.33:1) and
16:9 (1.78:1) screens. The zoom lens permits a range of throw distances for a specific
screen size. For a 100-inch diagonal, 16:9 screen, the throw distance is 14 feet, 5
inches to 17 feet, 5 inches and the optimum mounting height is 20 7/8 inches below
