FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE PLAYER
LP,a.boo.Funct,o°s 1 { O..er °a.ures ]
Program Playback
Up to 24 chapters can be programmed for playback in any
desired sequence.
Random Playback (For LDs, this function is available with
only discs containing TOC.)
All chapters of one side of a disc can be played in random
order.
Repeat Playback
Eight repeat modes - Memory Repeat, A-B Repeat, 1-chapter/
track Repeat, One-side Repeat, All side Repeat (for two-side
LDs only), Program Repeat, Random Repeat and Program
Random Repeat - are available. (With discs having no TOC,
Random Repeat cannot be carried out.)
Hi-Litellntro Scan Playback
Hi-Lite Scan - CD, CDV-audio part
Playback starts from a point 1 minute after the beginning
of the track, and each track is played for about 8 seconds.
Also, Hi-Lite Scan playback can be started from the desired
minute and second on each track.
Intro Scan - LD, CDV-video part
The beginning of each chapter/track is played for about 8
seconds.
Auto Program Editing/Compu Program Editing
The player automatically selects and programs the tracks
which can be played back within a specified time.
J LD (LaserDisc) Playback Functions ]
Gamma-Turn System - Two-Side Continuous Playback
With this function, both sides of a two-sided LD can be played
consecutively, eliminating the need to turn the disc over when
the first side of completed.
A Side _ B Side Continuous Playback Programs
Through the use of the Gamma-Turn system, programs which
go from side A to side B or from side B to side A can be freely
created.
Special Play Functions Utilizing Digital Video Memory
The video system's jitter compensation circuit uses a digital
TBC which has a wide compensation range and theoretically
no signal degradation, resulting in high picture quality.
Moreover, an 8-bit digital memory circuit is incorporated,
enabling you to enjoy a variety of special play functions with
high picture quality, even with CLV discs.
Last Memory Function
With this function, if you turn the power switch off during
playback of an LD, a playback position slightly ahead of the last
_fame to be p\aye_ '_sstored _nmemory/_\ast memo_V_ .'qkl_en
the power is turned back on, playback begins from the
memorized position by pressing I_/1_1_1.
CD (Compact Disc)/CDV (Compact Disc with
Video) Playback functions
Direct CD function
Pressing DIRECT CD on the front panel instructs the unit to
use the CD disc table, which reduces the play starting time.
In addition, since the picture circuit does not function, the
player eliminates the interference between signals and
reproduces more pure sound.
Digital NR system
Most LD discs contain noise and/or color distortion in the
source. This player uses a digital noise reduction system
which effectively reduces noise and color distortion and
allows you to independently change the brightness and
saturation as desired. Digital processing reproduces images
with superior picture quality.
Digital TBC system
A digital TBC system is used for correcting jitter in the picture
processing circuitry, featuring a wide correction range, minimal
signal degradation and high-quality picture reproduction.
1-Bit DLC D/A Converters
D/A converters are devices for transforming digital signals
into analog signals. The D/A converter used in this player
employs an advanced 1-bit conversion system. Compared to
conventional converters, this system has the following
advantages.
• Theoretically no zero cross distortion is generated.
• The system is free of non-liner distortion throughout the
frequency range.
• High-precision operation can be obtained without
adjustments.
With this type of conversion, there is no loss of music quality
even at minute signal levels. Moreover, the noise shaping
function necessary for 1-bit conversion is implemented using
a double-step noise shaping system. This system carries out
noise shaping once in the preliminary digital filter stage and
then again in the D/A converter section, thus minimizing
quantization noise and providing extremely high-precision
conversion. Furthermore, two of these D/A converters are
used independently for the left and right channels, realizing a
high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent separation.
Auto Loading and Automatic Disc Discriminaiton
Funcitons
This unit has a built-in motor-driven auto loading mechanism
which automatically opens and closes the disc table and
makes disc loading easy.
Also, once a disc is placed on the table and the table is
retracted into the player, the player automatically detects
which type of disc (LD, CD, or CDV) is loaded.
Compatibility with Many Disc Types and Sizes
In addition to conventional LDs (12 inch, 8 inch), CDs (5 inch),
and CDV discs (5 inch), the player can play thin-type 8 inch LDs
and 3 inch CD singles without an adapter.
Film mode
When Film Mode is ON, the front panel display window and
£ereen digDlav are turned off during playback, and the screen
gOeS b_ack when changing disc sides, Play starting time and
the time required to change disc sides is shorter than durir_g
normal playback. This mode is most suitable for playback of
movie discs.
Provided with S-Video Connector and 3-Line Digital Y-C
Separation Circuit.
Digital Level Control Using JOG-Dial Adjustment.
