Double Super Linear Converter
This unique DENON system is used to
prevent the generation of distortion at zero
cross, the main cause of sound deterioration
in a PCM playback system, enabling realistic
playback of the full musical production.

Dedicated, source
circuitry
Four systems — 1) the digital signal contro!
system, 2) the laser pickup and disc servo
system, and 3) the audio system, and 4) the
display systems — are each driven by a de-
dicated power source.
The use of a high capacitance condenser in
the circuit construction ensures non-inter-
ference with plenty of leeway.
