Part of the mystery is solved. According to Yamaha, the reason the 
Dtxpress II manual had (8-11) listed as user inputs instead of (6-9) 
is because the Dtxpress I had (1-7) presets and (8-11) user settings 
and they simple forgot to change it when the DtxpressII manual came 
out intially. I must have gotten corrected before the DtxpressIII 
manual came and was changed from (8-11) to the correct numbers (8-11).

The mistake then happened again when they put out the DtxpressIII 
manual, by not updating the (1-5) presets/(6-9)user to the correct 
listings of (1-7)presets and (8-11).

They simply made the same mistake in the same location twice.

The mystery of the PCY150/RHH120 being listed (and the PCY130S/PCY130 
not being listed) in the Dtxpress II manual still exists and was not 
addressed by Yamaha. Perhaps when we have the fireside chat with Jim 
Haler, he will be able to share with us the reason for it not being 
released with the DtxpressII.
