The DVX-1000 is unlike any other two-speaker home cinema system. Yamaha developed a host of new technologies that work together to produce actual surround sound from only two speakers.
The effect is quite amazing, and is even more pleasurable because the sound quality is so excellent. Speakers, subwoofer, DVD player and amplifier are all designed and built to a standard of quality well beyond conventional systems.
Yet they are surprisingly compact.Presenting the DVX-1000 - an entirely new way to enjoy home cinema. |
When you listen to the DVX-1000 you can actually identify sounds located around and behind you. The experience is completely different from other "virtual surround" systems, which project most of the sound in front of you, with only a weak surround effect to the sides and none to the rear.
When listening to 5 or 7-channel
sources from the DVX-1000, you will hear
clear dialogue and other sounds from the front, specific sounds from the other
channels to the sides and rear, and smooth
sound movement around you. Amazingly,
this is achieved from only two speakers;
and with the supplied subwoofer you enjoy
full 5.1 or 7.1-channel dynamic sound.
Only Yamaha, with our huge
acoustic database and extensive
experience in sound simulation technology,
has been able to realise this level of
surround sound performance from two
speakers. In all, seven new technologies
are used in the system, including the
world’s first 24kHz HRTF (Head Related
Transfer Function) processing.
All of the system components are
compact and stylish, and of course there is
no need for positioning and connecting
center and rear speakers, making system
setup an easy matter. Furthermore, because
the surround effects are not produced by
wall reflections, the DVX-1000 works well
in any room environment, large or small,
with or without four flat walls. |

In traditional home cinema systems each channel has its own speaker.
In conventional virtual surround systems, the surround sound is diffuse and in heard mainly from the front.
Yamaha's exclusive AIR SURROUND XTREME achieves surround sound with clarity and imaging unlike any other two-speaker system. You hear clear dialogue from the front, with distinctly separate surround sounds and smooth sound movement around the sound field. |
| The DVX-1000 gives you a choice of two surround modes: Movie and Music. The Movie mode ensures that dialogue is clear, while emphasising the rear channels for full enjoyment of surround effects and smooth sound movement that are impossible with conventional systems. Selecting Music provides full-frequency clarity and high quality surround sound for enhanced music enjoyment. You can also select the listening zone: Narrow for personal use and Wide when several people are listening. |
Complementing its amazing surround sound capabilities, the DVX-1000 provides a level of audio quality generally heard only from much more expensive systems. Yamaha has put its high-end component expertise to good use, as the DVD player, 90W x 2 amplifier, speakers and subwoofer are all extremely high performance units.
The amplifier uses high quality parts throughout, including a large transformer, custom-made capacitors and large heat sinks. The analogue and digital sections are separated and the digital circuitry is shielded, to prevent noise interference. In addition, the signal flow between the amp and center unit is digital rather than analogue.
The speakers have an aluminium cabinet for excellent rigidity, but the sound produced is soft. Their unique curvature not only looks elegant, it serves to dampen unwanted vibrations. The 11cm woofer can handle up to 100W of sound power, while the 2.5cm soft dome tweeter uses an edgewise-wound voice coil for maximum efficiency, delivering richly detailed highs. The network employs a large coil wound with 1mm diameter wire for high performance. A waveguide improves sound dispersion characteristics. |
HDMI output allows the DVD player to transfer digital video and audio signals directly to an HDMI equipped monitor instead of having to convert them to analogue. 1080p video signals can be output, providing the most detailed high definition picture quality currently available.
Faroudja DCDiT Processing ensures that images are smooth and natural, without staircasing or jaggies. |

You can listen to ordinary DVDs and CDs and also recordable discs with MP3, JPEG, WMA and DivX (Ultra) files. A stereo mini jack lets you connect
portable audio devices and there’s also a dedicated
USB terminal. |

|
| Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology II (Advanced YST II) is a unique system in which the speaker and amplifier work together to cancel out impedance so the speaker unit has a perfectly linear motion. Advanced YST II helps to ensure the highest levels of sound pressure and overall performance. |
| Selecting the Audio Direct mode cuts the video circuitry out of the signal path, so there is no chance of it affecting the sound quality. The front panel illumination is also turned off to prevent noise interference from the LCD. |

The DVX-1000 employs
sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that improves the performance of compressed music formats, such as MP3 and WMA. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original as possible. |
|
The Compressed Music Enhancer restores the original, live sound of your music, especially deep, strong sounds like bass and drums. |

CD Upsampling doubles the CD sampling rate to 88.2kHz, for a smoother sound. It enables CD playback to approach the quality of DVD-Audio. Once CD Upsampling is selected, it is automatically engaged whenever a CD is played. |

How does the DVX-1000 achieve true surround sound without surround speakers? The answer is AIR SURROUND XTREME, which is made possible by seven new Yamaha-developed technologies. The most notable is the world's first 24kHz HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) measurement technique. HRTF describes the various factors that affect how we locate the sounds that enter our head through the left and right ears, and is thus a vital factor in achieving two-speaker surround sound. Conventional HRTF measurements could be done up to 8kHz, but Yamaha has increased its capability to 24kHz, |
|
enabling much more accurate sound imaging. The other technologies enhance the clarity of the surround sound and provide several selectable modes that ensure optimum enjoyment from any listening position.
