| The
Ultimate in Personal Music Entertainment |
|
Ever since the original Yamaha
Disklavier introduced the marvels of hybrid acoustic/digital
pianos back in 1986, these computer-age ‘player’ pianos have
evolved into instruments that can reproduce ‘live’ acoustic piano
concerts and ensemble music with instrumental backings and vocal
tracks. The Disklavier DC5 Mark IV takes this all a step further.
Yamaha’s unique combination of both acoustic and digital
superiority has made it the obvious choice of music-lovers,
pianists, and educators worldwide. Its easy-to-operate user
functions make the Disklavier a breeze to customize and automate,
always giving you the right music at the right time. Combining the
tone and touch of world-class Yamaha grand pianos with an
astonishing range of interactive capabilities, the DC5 Mark IV is
the ultimate piano for home entertainment systems, business
establishments, or educational and creative environments.

PRC-100 literally packs all of the Disklavier DC5 Mark IV’s
features and functions into a single hand-held device. Its
intuitive full-color touch screen (320 x 240 pixels) is as easy to
read as it is to use. You can browse your entire library with the
handy stylus, or create custom playlists using the built-in QWERTY
keypad.

Music So Inspiring You’ll Want to Sing Along |
Just connect a microphone to the
Disklavier DC5 Mark IV piano and sing along through its built-in
speakers. To fine-tune your experience, the Mark IV offers
performance-enhancing vocal effects including room, stage, hall,
and reverb. You can choose to display song lyrics externally on
any TV monito. To

| A
Built-In Amplified Speaker System Only Possible From Yamaha |
|
The Disklavier DC5 Mark IV performs
as a stand-alone unit or as part of the ultimate home audio/video
system. With genuine Yamaha speakers, each powered monitor is
discretely mounted at an outward angle sending music away from the
piano for a more spacious overall sound. For larger audio systems
and installations, flexible output routings are provided to send
music to any part of the house your system allows. Outputs
assigned to areas far from the Disklavier can have a digital piano
sound inserted into the audio stream, while keeping a background
only mix sounding in areas near the acoustic piano.

Low-Profile Hardware Provides the Gateway for All of Your Music
Software |
|
Using the Media Center, software can
be played directly from the built-in floppy disk and CD drives,
and removable USB storage devices*, or loaded to internal memory
for easy access. Convenient connections include headphone outputs,
microphone input, and USB ports. The retractable glossy, black
cover conceals the Media Center and matches the finish of the
piano’s cabinetry.

another on selected software titles, as well as vary the tempo,
practicing piano on the Disklavier has become a truly interactive
experience. Add to this the fact that many popular method and
lesson books are being offered with hands-separate recordings on
disk, and you’ve got the ultimate music practice partner.

and those around you.

Unparalleled Experience Means Unrivaled Recording and Playback
|
|
There's a reason why the Yamaha
Disklavier has become the symbol of excellence in reproducing
pianos.
Disklavier technology is factory-built into the piano from the
beginning of its construction.
|
|
Superior Yamaha development and design |
|
The Disklavier Mark IV's advanced
intricate internal construction:
1. Power supply unit
2. I/O center
3. Powered speaker
4. Powered speaker
5. Solenoid unit
6. Media center
7. Sensor
|
|
Ultra-Large Internal Music Storage Capacity |
|
Floppy disks, CDs, and other removable
media are fine for carrying music from one place to another. But
once the music makes it to the DC5 Mark IV, it can be loaded onto
the vast internal memory capable of holding hundreds of hours of
music. Virtually every MIDI song file ever created could be loaded
and stored inside the Mark IV. If that seems a little excessive,
the extra storage comes in handy for loading CD audio tracks.

Yamaha’s Exclusive High-Performance Grayscale Hammer Sensor |
|
The world's first continual-detection
optical hammer sensor continuously traces the hammer position from
the time a key is pressed until it's released. This outperforms the
previous two-point detection centers and the simpler "Key ON/OFF"
sensors used on many other systems. With the grayscale key sensor,
the DC5 Mark IV monitors every motion of the key and hammer -
even rapidly repeated notes - with meticulous precision and the
softest touch. |
|
Servo Control for Precision Playback Performance |
|
Under the command of specially
developed LSI microprocessors, the servo control system
continuously monitors the movement of each key, precisely
recreating every detail of the original performance. This allows
for a slow return of the keys and delicate pianissimo, things that
were previously unattainable.
|
| Get
Connected with the I/O Center |
|
The Disklavier DC5 Mark IV has the
ability to connect to a wide range of external equipment.
Essentially, any device that connects to the DC5M4 will be
plugged into this "Input/Output" center. You can connect TVs,
cameras, computers, home networks, and various other audio and
music equipment to the I/O Center. No matter what your particular
needs are, the DC5 Mark IV is ready to play...…
