`
`SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 12, 1999--Forget brrring, warble and other annoying sounds that call you to the phone, or to a message.
`Yamaha's newest audio LSI offering, the YMU757, designed for mobile phones and PDAs, now allows the download and playback of user- selected sounds
`and melodies.
`
`The new YMU757 is designed with the same Yamaha proprietary FM sound generator currently used in synthesizers and PC sound cards. With 128
`instruments, each with four tones, high quality melody reproduction is greatly enhanced.
`
`"With this new audio chip, the potential for personalizing the products we carry around and depend on, is great," said Iraj Zarrinnaal, LSI Product Marketing
`Manager, Yamaha Systems Technology, Inc. "The user can immediately determine that the first few bars of the William Tell Overture are his and that the
`first few bars of Jingle Bells, are not. Once again, Yamaha is bringing distinction and fun to everyday life."

`SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 12, 1999--Forget brrring, warble and other annoying sounds that call you to the phone, or to a message.
`Yamaha's newest audio LSI offering, the YMU757, designed for mobile phones and PDAs, now allows the download and playback of user- selected sounds
`and melodies.
`
`The new YMU757 is designed with the same Yamaha proprietary FM sound generator currently used in synthesizers and PC sound cards. With 128
`instruments, each with four tones, high quality melody reproduction is greatly enhanced.
`
`A 300 mW amplifier to operate dynamic speakers, is built into this single chip sound generator. This can eliminate separate amplifier circuits, making it a
`space-saving feature, as well as a first in the industry. A built-in equalizer circuit is used to optimize sound quality according to the body shape and speaker
`type, of the mobile phone.
`
`"With this new audio chip, the potential for personalizing the products we carry around and depend on, is great," said Iraj Zarrinnaal, LSI Product Marketing
`Manager, Yamaha Systems Technology, Inc. "The user can immediately determine that the first few bars of the William Tell Overture are his and that the
`first few bars of Jingle Bells, are not. Once again, Yamaha is bringing distinction and fun to everyday life."
`
`Authoring System in Development
`
`Yamaha is also developing a new authoring system to help content providers create high quality melodies. It includes a tones library, an evaluation board
`and software for creating and editing musical data. Lyrics for Karaoke practice and game functions using music will be enabled with the Yamaha proposed
`mobile multimedia format that handles text, audio data, static image data and melodies. Musical data can be tested using the Yamaha evaluation board.

`
`Markets
`
`Europe, Japan and other Asian countries have already implemented custom melody sounds in their mobile phones and PDAs. It is a feature in high demand.
`In Japan, alone, the 40 million units currently in use, are increasingly customized with color, character straps and personalized ringing tones. Yamaha's
`YMU757 is becoming hugely popular because of its high quality polyphony vs the existing monophonic sounds. Download services are growing at a very
`high rate to support this trend.
`
`Price and Availability
`
`Sample quantities of the YMU757 are available in October, 1999. Sample price is $5.50 Production quantities will be available the end of January, 2000.
`
`Yamaha Systems Technology, Inc. was founded to manufacture and market integrated circuits, board level products and complete systems to OEMs and
