FEATURES
High-sound-quality CD player with 8times oversam-
pling (8fs) digital filter, genuine 20-bit direct linear con-
version system and accu-focus system.
@ The D/A conversion sampling frequency has been raised eight-
fold from 44.1kHz to 352.8kHz, resulting in low phase rotation
and low distortion audio characteristics.
@
Independent linear 20-bit D/A converters have been provided
for right and left channels, thus reducing digital-analog conver-
sion noise, and delivering excellent R-L channel separation with
no phase difference.
® A linear envelope D/A converter system has been introduced,
thus making it possible to minimize any conversion distortion
produced by the D/A converter section.
High-sound-quality
based
on
non-resonance,
anti-
vibration design
™@ Based on a principle of non-resonance design, a copper-plated,
honeycomb chassis has been adopted, to protect against floor-
reflected vibrations and provide effective damping of fine sur-
face resonance.
® A disc stabilizer is provided to suppress unnecessary disc vibra-
tions and allow accurate reading of sound signals.
@ Large-size honeycomb insulator with high rigidity.
Noiseless Operation
@ Aclean microcomputer, which operates only when the buttons
are pressed, has been adopted to suppress the scanning noise
produced during microcomputer operation.
@ Digital/Analog output selector switch allows unused circuits to
be disconnected, thus suppressing unnecessary noise.
@ DISPLAY OFF switch allows fluorescent indicators to be turned
off, thus preventing the scanning noise generated from indi-
cators.
Accu-Focus System
The use of an accu-focus pickup system allows disc signals to be
read cleanly with fewer reading errors, thus producing clearer sound.
Linear servo mechanism
with low center of gravity
Delivers effortless operation and high-speed access.

En
Digital output terminals
Coaxial and optical digital output terminals have been provided for
use with separate-type D/A converters or amplifiers equipped with
digital inputs.
High-capacity power supply
Discrete push-pull power circuits have been supplied for exclusive
use by the audio circuits in order to stabilize the power supply. This
feature, together with the unit's direct construction, produces great-
ly reduced
impedance
in the power and signal lines, resulting in
powerful low-frequency sound reproduction.
Other functions
@ 24-step random programming (pre-programming)
This function allows you to play desired tracks in any desired
order. Programmed playback can be input even while using the
player in the normal play mode
(pre-programming).
M@ Pause program
Automatic pauses can be inserted between tracks as part of your
playback program, thus facilitating tape editing.
@ Random
playback / program random playback
This
function
allows
you
to play tracks
on
your
discs
in
computer-controlled random order; when used together with the
repeat function, it provides perfect background music for parties.
™@ Loads 8cm discs
Both normal 12cm CDs and 8cm CD single can be played.
@ Repeat play modes for single-track, all-track, program, random
playback and program random playback.
@ Full-function fluorescent display with switchable elapsed-time,
remaining track time, all-track remaining time displays.
@ Timer play start function.
