Introduction 1
Introduction
Welcome to the DMP9
Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha DMP9 Digital Mixing Processor. The DMP9 is an
all-digital audio mixer that provides many advantages over existing analog mixers, such as
transparent digital processing, scene memories for storing mix scenes, built-in multi effects,
comprehensive analog and digital inputs and outputs, to name just a few.
Key Features
All Digital
An audio mixer is the critical device used to combine and adjust sounds from various sources
at differing levels, impedances, etc. It should minimize phase and inter modulation distortions
at the mixing point. Any nonlinear characteristics will have a serious effect on the overall
quality of the combined output, resulting in subtle, yet noticeable distortions and noise. Even
with excellent design techniques, these kinds of problems are inherent in analog mixers.
The DMP9 provides a digital solution to all these problems. For once past the A/D conversion
stage, all audio signals are processed in the digital domain, immune from degradation.
Digital Multi Effects
The DMP9 contains two high quality digital multi-effects processors. Each can be used to
produce reverb, delay, pitch change, and a wide range of modulation type effects, such as
flange, chorus, and symphonic. Effect processors can be used individually or in series, with
the output of one effect processor feeding the other. In a digital mixer such as the DMP9,
having the effects processors built-in means that the audio signal does not have to go through
multiple A/D and D/A conversions, which just compound the effects of conversion.
Scene Memories
The DMP9 has 50 scene memories that allow you store mix scenes and EQ snapshots. A
scene memory stores all variable mix parameters such as mutes, levels, EQ, effects, etc.
Scene memories can be recalled using the front panel [RECALL] button, or remotely from
a synthesizer, MIDI keyboard, MIDI sequencer, etc., using MIDI Program Change messages.
You could, for example, set up different mix scenes for each song. If each scene memory is
assigned to the same Program Change message as that of the synthesizer voice used in the
song, the corresponding scene memory can be recalled when the voice is selected on the
synthesizer. Scene memories can also be recalled using a MIDI footswitch.
MIDI Control
DMPO variable mix parameters can be remotely controlled using MIDI Control Change
messages. You could, for example, adjust DMP9 parameters using a synthesizer’s assignable
MIDI sliders or pedals. With a MIDI sequencer, you could record and playback these Control
Change messages, providing dynamic mixdown automation.
DMP9 Owner's Guide
2 Introduction
E ii a
Channel Expansion
As well as being used to connect CD players, DAT recorders, etc., the DMP9 digital inputs
and outputs can also be used to connect other DMP9s for channel expansion. Any
combination of DMP9-16s and DMP9-8s can be used to create 24-, 32-, and 48-channel
systems, The input channels and auxiliary returns on each DMP9 are mixed down to stereo,
and that stereo signal is then fed to the next DMP9 via the digital inputs and outputs. Thus
keeping the signal in the digital domain, eliminating signal degradation. The connection
between DMP9s is called a cascade, since DMP9s are effectively connected in series, with
the stereo output of each DMP9 being fed to the next DMP9.

4 Introduction
Applications
The DMP9 can be used in many situations that demand a versatile high-quality digital mixer.
It is especially suited to the following applications:
Professional Keyboard Mixer
The DMP? line inputs are ideal for connecting synthesizers, tone generators, samplers, etc.
Input levels, and the subsequent S/N performance can be optimized using the front panel
trim controls. The Stereo channel mode makes it easy to mix stereo devices. Microphone
inputs on channels 1 and 2 can be used for vocals or talkback in a PA situation. There are
two independent stereo outputs. One pair can be used to feed the front of house console, the
other for onstage monitoring with channel solo capability. Scene memories allow mixer
settings for different songs, or different song parts to be stored, then recalled either manually
or via a MIDI footswitch. DMP9 parameters can be controlled using MIDI Control Changes,
thus providing real-time performance control. For example, you could control DMP9
parameters using a synthesizer or MIDI keyboard’s assignable MIDI sliders and pedals.
MIDI Studio Mixer
As well as the items listed above, the following are useful in a MIDI studio. Channel mutes
can be stored in scene memories, or controlled in real time using MIDI Control Changes.
All mix parameters can be assigned to MIDI Control Changes, and controlled from a MIDI
sequencer. Many of today’s MIDI Sequencers are provided with GUI style MIDI mixers
that allow you to assign MIDI Control Changes to fader icons. Fader movements can then
be recorded as Control Change data in real time during mix down. Fader moves can then be
edited using the sequencer’s edit tools. Effectively, the DMP9 offers two types of mix
automation: scene memories for static mix scene changes, and MIDI control for dynamic
mixdown control.
The IEC958 (Consumer) digital 1 input can be used to connect a CD player, DAT, MD,
DCC, or other device with a digital output. The TEC958 (Consumer) digital 1 output can
be connected directly to a DAT recorder for mix down mastering. The Yamaha format digital
input and output can be used to cascade DMP9s for channel expansion. They also allow
digital connection directly to other equipment in Yamaha's wide range of professional digital
audio products.
DMP9-16 & DMP9-8 Differences
The DMP9-8 and the DMP9-16 have the following differences:
DMP9-8 has eight input channels, DMP9-16 has sixteen.
* DMP9-8 can be used as eight mono channels, DMP9-16 as sixteen mono channels.
DMP9-8 can be used as four stereo pairs, DMP9-16 as eight stereo pairs.
* DMP9-8 has one stereo aux return, DMP9-16 has two. |
DMP9-8 has ST and Solo buses, DMP9-16 has ST1 and ST2/Solo buses.
DMP9-8 has ST OUT (UNBALANCE) and ST OUT (BALANCE) outputs, DMP9-16 has
STEREO OUT! and STEREO OUT?2 outputs.

Getting Started 115
Chapter 2: Getting Started
In this chapter, we explain some of the general operating concepts of the DMP9.
Connecting Cable Notes
Analog
Use connecting cables that are made with high quality cable and reliable connectors. With
the high performance offered by the DMP9, the last thing you want is corroded or intermittent
connections interfering with the input and output signals. Most DMP9 connections use
standard 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) phone jacks, which are wired ground to sleeve, signal to tip.
To connect equipment with XLR type connectors, use a cable of the type shown below.
However, before connecting, check the equipment’s operating manual to see how the hot
and cold conductors are wired, pin 2 orpin 3? Incorrectly wired cables will cause undesirable
phase shifts.
(when pin 2 is hot)
3-PIN MALE 6.35 mm (1/4") PHONE
XLR PLUG PIN2O O TIP JACK (mono)
PINS
PINTO in. SLEEVE
The XLR MIC INPUTs and XLR STEREO OUTPUTS use Yamaha's usual ground to pin 1,
cold to pin 3, hot to pin 2 wiring scheme.
Digital 1/0
1) 1EC958 (RCA phono)
For DIGITAL INPUT1 and DIGITAL OUTPUT], use 75 ohm coaxial RCA phono cables.
2) Yamaha (8-pin DIN)
For DIGITAL INPUT? and DIGITAL OUTPUT?2, use Yamaha YDC803, YDC805, and
_ YDC815 8-pin DIN cables; 3, 5, and 15 meters respectively.

Power On & Power Off
Warning: The DMP9 should be connected only to an AC receptacle of the voltage type
marked on its rear panel.
Signal source devices should be powered on first and your power amplifier last. Reverse this
procedure when powering off.
1. To power on the DMP9, press the POWER switch.
The model name, system software version, and some other information will be displayed
for a few seconds. The DMP9 will then return to the state that 1t was last powered off in.
If you are using an external wordclock via one of the digital inputs, it’s a good idea to power
on the device that is sending the digital signal first. Otherwise, the DMP9 cannot be used
until that device is powered on. In this case, the DIGITAL INPUT indicator flashes until the
either the device is powered on or the DMP is set to internal wordclock. See “Master Clock
Select” on page 64.
2. To power off the DMP9, press the POWER switch again.
All mixer settings are stored while the power is off.
DMP9 Owner's Guide
Getting Around the User Interface 17
Getting Around the User Interface
The DMP9 user interface is straightforward and easy to use, and similar operating techniques
apply to most functions. Functions that do not have dedicated controls are called LCD
functions. These functions are accessed using the [UTILITY], [DIO], [MIDI], FEF1], [EF2],
[EQ/PAD], [PAN/O)], [SEND], [OTHERS], and [CONFIG] buttons. Repeated pressing of the
respective button scrolls through the available functions. The [BACK] button can be used
to go back to the previous LCD function. To go directly to the first LCD function in a group,
press the respective function button twice within 150 ms.
Selecting Channels
Many LCD functions share the same physical controls. So before making any adjustments,
you must first select the channel that you want to adjust. Channels can be selected using the
[SEL] buttons. There is one [SEL] button for each input channel. For the auxiliary returns,
you must press the RETURN [SEL] button repeatedly to select each return in turn. The green
RETURN select indicators next to the RETURN [SEL] button indicate the currently selected
return. When selected, the respective green [SEL] button will flash, and the title of the input
channel or auxiliary return will flash on the top line of the LCD for a few seconds. For the
master output section, use the SEND and ST buttons to select the master outputs.
For some channel functions, such as Pad and Phase, you can also use the [<<] and [>]
PARAMETER buttons to select channels, so long as the respective LCD function is
displayed. When a channel is selected in this way, the corresponding [SEL] button will flash.
For Stereo mode channels, both channels in the stereo pair will be selected when either
channel’s [SEL] button is pressed. Parameter adjustments to either channel will affect both
channels.
DMP9 Owner's Guide

Chapter 2: Getting Started
Optimizing Level Settings
The DMP9 offers some excellent performance specifications, so it only makes sense to take
full advantage of them. The following guidelines will help you to optimize level settings,
which will, in turn, effect a good S/N ratio (signal to noise).
The channel TRIM controls should be set so that the SIGNAL LED is lit most of time, and
the CLIP LED lights occasionally. These controls should be set with some care, because if
set to low, the S/N performance will suffer, and if it is set to high, unpleasant signal clipping
may result. Wherever possible, the MASTER level control should be set to about 0 dB.
Data Organization
The DMP9 uses the following data types:
Scene memories
Setup data
Edit buffer
Remote buffer (only when Local = OFF)
Scene memories are used to store mix scenes. A scene memory contains settings for all
variable mixing parameters. On the front panel, the box around the [EF1], [EF2], [EQ/PAD],
[PAN/S], [SEND], [OTHERS], and [CONFIG] buttons indicates that settings for all the LCD
functions accessed via these buttons are also stored in scene memories.
Setup data consists of settings for LCD functions that are accessed using the [UTILITY],
[DIO], and [MIDI] buttons.
The Edit buffer is an internal RAM area that stores the current DMP9 parameter settings.
That is, the current mix scene. When a mix scene is stored, the Edit buffer data is copied to
the selected scene memory. When a mix scene is recalled, the data of the selected scene
memory is copied to the Edit buffer.
All the above data types are stored while the DMP9 is powered off. Furthermore, they can
be saved using MIDI Bulk Dump. See “MIDI Bulk Dump” on page 80.
The Remote buffer is active only when the MIDI Local parameter on the MIDI LCD function
is set to OFF. It stores the settings of the front panel controls. Adjusting the controls will
not affect the parameter settings that are stored in the Edit buffer. See “MIDI Local” on
page 81.
DMP9 Owner's Guide
Input Channels 19
Chapter 3: Input Channels
In this chapter, we explain the input channels. Just like the signal flow through a channel,
this chapter starts at the input jack and ends where a channel meets the buses.
Analog Line Input
These 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) jack inputs accept unbalanced line level signals. Standard input
level range from —20 dB to +4 dB.
Digital Inputs
On the DMP9-16, input channels 13/14 and 15/16 can be used with the digital inputs. See
“Digital Input Routing” on page 58. In this case, the ANALOG LINE INPUT connection,
TRIM control, and SIGNAL and CLIP LEDs are inactive.
On the DMP9-8, the above applies to input channels 5/6 and 7/8.
Mic Input (channels 1 & 2 only)
Input channels 1 and 2 can be used as line inputs or microphone inputs. When an input is
set to LINE, it is fed from the corresponding ANALOG LINE INPUT. When set to MIC, it
is fed from the corresponding MIC INPUT. MIC INPUTS use balanced XILR-3-31 type
connectors (pin 2 hot).
1. Press the [UTILITY] button repeatedly until the display shown below appears:

Chapter 3: Input Channels
Channel Mode
Input channels can be used as independent mono channels or in stereo pairs; Mono mode
and Stereo mode respectively. Only adjacent channels can be paired: 1/2, 3/4, and so on. In
Stereo mode, the following channel parameters are linked: Phase, Pad, On/Off, Level, EQ,
Send levels, and Channel Delay. For Stereo mode channels, the panpot parameter becomes
Width/Balance. See “Panpot, Width, & Balance” on page 29.

to select other input channels.
Mode Setting Method 2
The following method will toggle between Stereo and Mono mode.
Press and hold down a pair of input channel [SEL] buttons for about one second.
If the Channel mode is changed from Mono to Stereo, and one of the input channels in the
stereo pair is already assigned to a group, the message “Change Ch Group!” will appear.
When Stereo mode input channels are selected, both [SEL] buttons flash.
DMP9 Owner's Guide
Titling Input Channels 21
Titling Input Channels
When an input channel is selected using a [SEL] button, the title of that input channel appears
on the top line of the LCD for a few seconds. Using titles such as Synth1, Vocal, etc., makes
it easy to identify channels.
1. Press the [SEL] button of the input channel that you want to title.
2. Press the [UTILITY] button repeatedly until the display shown below appears:
Li, lit LatLH Là
ГЕ, “a eze

3. Use the [«] and [>] PARAMETER buttons to position the cursor within the title.
4. Use the DATA ENTRY control or the [+/ON] and [-/OFF] PARAMETER buttons to select
characters.
Stereo mode channels share the same title.
To fill à title with spaces, press the [+/ON] and [OFF] PARAMETER buttons simultaneously
for one second.
Titles can be up to eight characters long, and the following characters are available:
BEL EE i | H IE M|H| OP

” т в. = "
в г || о | ЖП | Е si >
If the title contains the Null character (NL=00h), it will not be displayed when that channel
is selected. This can be used when you don’t want channel titles to appear.
Trim Control, Clip, & Signal LEDs
The TRIM control allows you to optimize the input signal level. Use it in conjunction with
the CLIP and SIGNAL LEDs. Ideally, the SIGNAL LED should be lit, indicating that a
signal is present, and the CLIP LED should light occasionally. This control should be set
with some care, because if it is set to low, the S/N performance will suffer, and if it is set to
high, unpleasant signal clipping may result.

Level Control 25
Level Control
This control adjusts the level of the input channel signal that is fed to the stereo outputs and
the auxiliary sends. It is effectively five controls in one, so you need to make sure that you
have selected the right auxiliary send or stereo output before adjusting it.
The position of the input channel control is indicated by an 8-point LED array. The dial
legend ranges from — co to +6 dB, and the 0 dB position is indicated by a small triangular
symbol.
Stereo Output
To set the level of the channel signal that is sent to the stereo outputs:
1. Press a [SEL] button to select an input channel.
2. Press the MASTER [SEL] buttons (ST1 & ST2).
On the DMP9-8, press the MASTER [SEL] button (ST).
3. Use the channel level control to set the level.
Stereo mode channels and grouped channels are controlled together.
Note: The selected input channel must be assigned to the stereo bus. See “Bus Assign”
on page 26.
Auxiliary Sends
To set the level of the channel signal that is sent to an auxiliary send:
1. Press a [SEL] button to select an input channel.
2. Press a MASTER [SEND] button to select the auxiliary send.
3. Use the channel level control to set the level.
Stereo mode channels and grouped channels are controlled together.
Note: When auxiliary sends 3 and 4 are used as a stereo output pair, the level of the
channel signal 1s controlled using auxiliary send 3. Auxiliary send 4 is ignored. The
signal is also affected by the input channel's pan and balance functions See “Send 3/4
Mode” on page 39.
When the [EF1] or [EF2] button is pressed, the MASTER [SEND]] or [SEND?2] is selected
automatically.
Note: The DMP9 level-control resolution is 128 steps. When signal levels are controlled
dynamically, certain sounds, such as sine waves, are prone to level jump and noise. For
the INPUT, RETURN, and MASTER level controls, a simple interpolation is performed
when signal levels are changed to alleviate this. However, other level controls do not
have this, so large level jumps may occur.

Chapter 4: Master Stereo Outputs & Phones
In this chapter, we explain the stereo outputs and phones.
The DMP9-16 has two independent stereo outputs: STEREO OUT 1, which uses balanced
XLR-3-32 type connectors (pin 2 hot), and STEREO OUT?, which uses unbalanced
6.35 mm (1/4 inch) phone jacks. Both have a standard output level of +4 dB.
The DMP9-8 has one stereo output. Although, there are two sets of output connections: one
pair of balanced XLR-3-32 type connectors (pin 2 hot) and one pair of unbalanced 6.35 mm
(1/4 inch) phone jacks. Both have a standard output level of +4 dB.
Master Level Control
The MASTER level control is used to set the stereo output level. It is located immediately

Trim Control, Clip, & Signal LEDs
The TRIM control allows you to optimize the auxiliary return signal level. Use it in
conjunction with the CLIP and SIGNAL LEDs. Ideally, the SIGNAL LED should be lit,
indicating that a signal is present, and the CLIP LED should light occasionally. This control
should be set with some care, because if it is set to low, the S/N performance will suffer, and
if it is set to high, unpleasant signal clipping may result.

Effects 47
Chapter 7: Effects
In this chapter, we look at the DMP9’s internal effects. There are two digital multi-effects
processors: Effect] and Effect2. Each can be assigned a specific effect type, which can then
be edited. Effect1 1s fed from auxiliary send 1, and Effect2, from auxiliary send 2. The
effected signals are returned using auxiliary returns 1 and 2, respectively. As well as
individual operation, Effect] and Effect? can be used in series, with Effect 1 feeding Effect2.
All effect settings can be stored in scene memories.
The following effect types are available:
HQ-Rev 1 Hall (Rev 1 Hall) Symphonic
HQ-Rev 2 Room (Rev 2 Room) Early Ref. 1
HQ-Rev 3 Stage (Rev 3 Stage) Early Ref. 2

Chapter 8: Grouping Channels
Grouping Channels 53
In this chapter, we explain how to group channels. Grouping allows you to mute and adjust
the level of a number of channels simultaneously. Eight groups are available, and any
combination of input channels and auxiliary returns can be assigned to a group. Groups can
be enabled and disabled independently.
Setting Up a Group
1. Press the [UTILITY] button repeatedly until the display shown below appears:
Group number ——
Input channels —
meh HDR -
+ Но, | Enable +—

*12204 reset ——
— Reset
Use the [4] and [>] PARAMETER buttons to select the group number parameter, and the
DATA ENTRY control or the [+/ON] and [-/OFF] PARAMETER buttons to select a group
from 1 to 8.
Use the [«<] and [»] PARAMETER buttons to position the cursor at a position on the third
line that corresponds to an input channel or the fourth line that corresponds to an auxiliary
return, then press the [+/ON] button or use the DATA ENTRY contro! to add that input channel
or auxiliary return to the group. Stereo mode input channels are added in pairs.
Repeat step 3 to add other input channels and auxiliary returns to the group.
To remove an input channel or auxiliary return from a group, first select it, then press the
[-/OFF] PARAMETER button or use the DATA ENTRY control. Stereo mode input channels
are removed in pairs.
To enable a group, position the cursor next to the Enable/Disable parameter, then press the
[+/ON] PARAMETER button or use the DATA ENTRY control. To disable a group, press the
[-/OFF] PARAMETER button or use the DATA ENTRY control.
When a group is enabled, pressing an [ON] button or adjusting a level control will mute or
adjust all level controls in the group, respectively. While the previous display is shown, the
[SEL] buttons of channels in the currently selected group light up.
In the following example, input channels 1, 3, 5, 6 and auxiliary returns 1 and 2 have been
assigned to group 5, which is enabled. Levels can be adjusted simultaneously by adjusting
the level control of aninput channel or auxiliary return thatis assigned to the group. Likewise,
they can be muted by pressing an [ON] button of an input channel or auxiliary return that
is assigned to the group.

54 Chapter 9: Scene Memories
Chapter 9: Scene Memories
In this chapter, we explain scene memories, Up to 50 mix scenes can be stored in DMP9
scene memories 1 to 50. A scene memory contains settings for all variable mix parameters,
including effects. On the front panel, the box around the [EF1], [EF2], [EQ/PAD], [PAN/@],
[SEND], [OTHERS], and [CONFIG] buttons indicates that the settings for LCD functions
accessed via these buttons are also stored. Scene memories can be stored, then recalled either
manually or using MIDI Programs Change messages from a MIDI footswitch or MIDI
sequencer. See “MIDI Program Change” on page 75 for more details.
The DMP9's Edit buffer is an internal RAM area that stores the current DMP9 parameter
settings. That is, the current mix scene. When a mix scene is stored, the Edit buffer data (or
when Local = OFF, the Remote buffer data) is copied to the selected scene memory. When
a mix scene is recalled, the data of the selected scene memory is copied to the Edit buffer.
MEMORY Indicator
As shown below, the MEMORY indicator flashes when a scene memory other than the one
stored or recalled last is selected. If a mix scene is stored to or recalled from that scene
memory, the flashing stops. Then, if a parameter is adjusted, a red dot appears in the bottom
right-hand corner indicating that the mix scene data has changed since is was last stored or
recalled. In other words, the scene memory data and the Edit buffer data do not match.

Note: The red dot will work as described above only when the Local parameter on the
MIDI Local LCD function is set to ON. When set to OFF, the red dot will flash. See
“MIDI Local” on page 81.
Scene Memory 0
Scene memory Ois a little different to scene memories 1 to 50 in that it is a read only memory
that contains the initial DMP9 settings. You can recall it, but cannot store a mix scene to it.
When you want to reset all parameters to their initial settings, recall scene memory 0.
In Owner’s mode, you can change the initial settings of scene memory 0. See “Initialize
Scene Memory 0” on page 68.

Chapter 10: Digital Inputs
Chapter 10: Digital Inputs
In this chapter, we explain the DMP9 digital inputs. DIGITAL INPUT can receive IEC958
(Consumer) format digital audio, and DIGITAL INPUT? can receive Yamaha format digital
audio. These inputs can be used for digital connection to CD players, DAT recorders, etc.
They are also used for cascade operation. See “Cascading the DMP9” on page 70.
Note: If you use a digital input and route it to CH or CASCADE, the DMP9 must be set
to derive its wordclock signal from that digital input. See “Master Clock Select” on
page 64. However, this does not apply when a digital input is just monitored using the
ST2 Out Select LCD function. See “ST2 Out Select” on page 36.
Digital Input Routing
This function allows you to route the digital input signals.
. Press the [DIO] button repeatedly until the following display appears:

. Use the [«] and [»] PARAMETER buttons to select Digi.1 or Digi.2, DIGITAL INPUT1
and DIGITAL INPUT? respectively.
. Use the [+/ON] and [-/OFF] PARAMETER buttons to select an input routing option.
The following options are available:
OFF — Digital input off.
CH13/14— DIGITAL INPUT routed to input channels 13 and 14(line inputs are turned off).
CH15/16 — DIGITAL INPUT? routed to input channels 15 and 16(line inputs are turned off).
CASCADE — Digital input used as cascade input.
On the DMP9-8, DIGITAL INPUTI1 can be routed to input channels 5 and 6, and DIGITAL
INPUT2 can be routed to input channels 7 and 8.
If there is no digital signal being input, or the digital input signal is not correct, the above
options cannot be selected, and the input routing will be forced to OFF, or one of the following
displays may appear:

This function allows you apply emphasis to the DIGITAL INPUT2 Yamaha format signal.
Emphasis cannot be detected automatically for this format, so if the Internal emphasis
function is set to ON, or the signal being input has been emphasized, you must set this
function to ON. The DMP9 automatically detects whether or not emphasis has been applied
to the DIGITAL INPUT1 IEC958 (Consumer) signal, and either emphasizes or
de-emphasizes it accordingly.
Press the [DIO] button repeatedly until the following display appears:

Use the [+/ON] and [-/OFF] PARAMETER buttons to set the emphasis to ON and OFF.
Note: When the DMP9 is connected to a DMP7, DMP7D, or DMP11, emphasis must be
set to ON. This is because these units process all internal digital audio data with
emphasis ON.
Channel Status Monitor
This function allows you to monitor the Channel Status data in the DIGITAL INPUT1

User Bit Monitor 61
User Bit Monitor
This function allows you to monitor the four bytes at the start of the 32-bit block of User
Bits in the DIGITAL INPUT'1 IEC958 (Consumer) format signal. User Bits are displayed
as hexadecimal and ASCII characters. DIGITAL INPUT 1 must be routed to something other
than OFF before this function can be used. See “Digital Input Routing” on page 58.
| 1. Press the [DIO] button repeatedly until the following display appears:
The characters shown on the User’s Bit Rx display correspond to user bit data sent and
received by DMP9s only. When the DMP9 is connected to a DMC1000, for example,
characters sent may not match those displayed. In this case, refer to the Hex data.
Digital Input Notes
Wordclock Source
When you use a digital input and route it to CH or CASCADE, the DMP9 must be set to
derive its wordclock signal from that digital input. See “Master Clock Select” on page 64.
However, this does not apply when a digital input is just monitored using the ST2 Out Select
LCD function. See “ST2 Out Select” on page 36.
A digital signal received from a device that is synchronized via the DMP9’s WC OUT
connection, will be received correctly.
Digital Input Signal Range
Digital input signals must be at one of the following sampling frequencies: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz,
or 48 kHz, £1000 ppm. If the signal is out of this range, the DMP9 will not be able to sync
lock to it. If the DMP9 sync locks to a signal, but then that signal drifts out of the acceptable
range, all DMPO signals will be muted.
SCMS
DIGITAL INPUT! can receive only IEC958 (Consumer) consumer format digital audio,
which has copy protection bit or generation information. The DMP9 conforms to the Serial
Copy Management System (SCMS). Therefore, if you input a DAT signal which originated
from a CD, you will not be able to record the DMP9’s digital output signal.
Using Both Digital Inputs
When you use DIGITAL INPUT 1 and DIGITAL INPUT2 simultaneously, the digital audio
devices supplying the digital signals must be wordclock synchronized. Therefore, only
devices that have external wordclock sync facilities can be used. If, for example, you connect
two Consumer Use CD players, although they are both outputting digital audio at 44.1 kHz,
their internal wordclocks are free running, so the DMP9 will not be able to receive both
signals correctly.
This does not apply when both digital inputs are used to cascade DMP9s, because both
digital signals come from the same DMP?9,
System Power On
When powering on a digital system, the wordclock master device should be powered on
first, and once that device is ready, the wordclock slave devices.

Chapter 12: Other Functions
In this chapter, we explain the Master Clock Select, Internal Emphasis, Oscillator, and Battery
Check functions.
Master Clock Select
The master clock is the clock signal that is used to synchronize the DMP9 data processing
circuits, such as its digital signal processors (DSP). This type of clock signal is often called
a wordclock because it synchronizes digital audio data words. By default, the DMP9 uses
its own internal clock at a fixed sampling frequency of 48 kHz. If you use the digital inputs,
the clock source must be set to the corresponding input: Digitall or Digital2. The DMP9
will automatically detect the sampling frequency of the incoming digital signal, and will
synchronize to it. The DMP9 can synchronize to digital signals at 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and
48 kHz. The current clock source is indicated by the INTERNAL and DIGITAL INPUT
LEDs.
Note: If you use a digital input and route it to CH or CASCADE, the DMP9 must be set
to derive its wordclock signal from that digital input. However, this does not apply when
a digital input is just monitored using the ST2 Out Select LCD function. See “ST? Out
Select” on page 36.
The WORD CLK OUT BNC connection always outputs a clock signal that corresponds to
the clock signal selected as the Master Clock.

clock source: Internal, Digital1, or Digital2.
4. Use the [-<] and [>] PARAMETER buttons to position the cursor next to Select.
5. Press the [+/ON] PARAMETER button.
If you selected Internal, the sampling frequency will be set to 48 kHz, and the INTERNAL
LED will light up. If you selected Digitall or Digital2, the DMP9 will check the sampling
frequency of the incoming digital signal. While it does this, the DIGITAL INPUT LED will
flash, and the possible sampling frequency values will appear on the display. Once an
acceptable clock signal has been detected, the DMP9 will lock to it, and the DIGITAL INPUT
LED will remain lit. If an acceptable clock signal is not detected, the DMP9 will keep
checking indefinitely. You cannot use the DMP9 in this state, so you must select another
clock source. If an external wordclock is lost, this LCD function will appear automatically.
See “Digital Input Notes” on page 61 for more details about inputting digital signals.
DMP9 Owner's Guide
Internal Emphasis 65
Internal Emphasis
Emphasis is a technique that is used to improve the performance of A/D and D/A converters.
It is analogous to some analog noise reduction systems in that high frequencies are boosted
(emphasized) before A/D conversion, then automatically cut (de-emphasized) after D/A
conversion. The DMP9 emphasis facilities provide compatibility with earlier digital audio
devices such as the DMP7, DMP7D, and DMP11.
This function allows you to apply emphasis to all analog input signals. Analog output signals
are automatically de-emphasized before being output. Emphasis for DIGITAL INPUT! 1s
automatically set to conform with the Internal emphasis setting. However, for DIGITAL
INPUT?2, you must set it manually. See “Digital Input Emphasis” on page 59. Emphasis can
be set independently for the digital outputs. See “Output Emphasis” on page 63. Incorrect
emphasis settings usually appear as a slight level boost or cut to frequencies above 3.5 kHz.
To set the Internal emphasis:
1. Press the [UTILITY] button repeatedly until the display shown below appears:
PUF
2. Use the [ON] and [OFF] PARAMETER buttons to turn the emphasis ON or OFF.
Note: If this emphasis function is set to ON, and you are using the DIGITAL INPUT2,
you must set the emphasis for that input accordingly. See “Digital Input Emphasis” on
page 59.
