|FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE PLAYER
LD (LaserVision Disc) Playback Functions
Alpha-Turn System—Two-Side
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 is completed.
Three Types of A Side @ B Side Continuous Playback
Programs
Through the use of the Alpha-Turn system, programs which
go from side A to side B or from side B to side A can be
freely created.
With the Chapter Program function, up to 24 chapters can
be programmed for playback in any desired sequence.
Special Play Functions Utilizing Digital Video Memory
The video system's jitter compensation circuit uses a digi-
tal TBC which has a wide compensation range and theoret-
ically 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.
SOFT PICTURE
Laserdisk playback may produce excessively sharp image
contours compared to that viewed on a VCR; if you feel the
image quality is unnaturally sharp, turn this switch ON to
soften the playback.
NOTE: this switch is effective only with the playback from
§-terminal output.
One-Song Pause Function—Great for Karaoke
By pressing the SINGLE button and selecting a tune, the
player automatically enters pause mode when the selected
tune finishes playing. If you designate another tune, that
tune is played and then the player pauses again.
Random Playback (only discs with TOC)
All chapters of one side of a disc can be played in random
order.
Repeat Playback
Eight repeat
modes— Memory
Repeat,
1-chapter Repeat,
One-side Repeat, All side Repeat, Section Repeat, Program
Repeat, Random Repeat and Program Random Repeat —are
available. (For discs without TOC, Random Repeat cannot
be carried out.)
Auto Program Editing/Compu Program Editing
The player automatically selects and programs the tracks
which can be played back within a specified time.
CD (Compact Disc) Playback Functions
Program Playback
|
Up to 24 tracks can be selected from a disc and played in
any desired order.
Random Playback
All tracks on a disc can be played in random order.
Repeat Playback

track Repeat, Section Repeat, Program Repeat, Random

Auto Program Editing/Compu Program Editing
The player automatically selects and programs the tracks
which can be played back within a specified time.
Direct CD Function
Once DIRECT CD on the front panel is pressed, time for
starting play becomes shorter. In addition, since the picture
circuit does not function, the player eliminates the interfer-
ence between
signals and reproduces more pure sound.
CDV (Compact Disc with Video) Playback
*
The video part (the section of the disc containing both
video and audio} is played first.
Video Part:
The same functions available for LD (CLV) playback can be
used.
:
Audio Part:
The same functions available for CD playback can be used.
1-Bit DLC D/A Converters
(D/A Converters with Double-Step Noise Shaping)
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-linear distortion throughout the
frequency range.
® High-precision operation can be obtained
without ad-
justments.
With this type of conversion, there is no loss of music qual-
ity even at minute signal levels, Moreover, the noise shap-
ing function necessary for 1-bit conversion is implemented
using a double-step noise shaping system. This system car-
ries 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.
Auto Loading and Automatic Disc Discrimination
Functions
This unit has a built-in motor-driven auto loading mechan-
ism 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.
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 frame to be played is stored in memory (last memory).
When the power is turned back on, playback begins from
the memorized position by pressing PLAY/STILL button on
the front panel (B/Pi).
