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.
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
S-terminal output.

Other Features
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.
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/PAUSE button on
the front panel (>/#88).

an adaptor: LD (12 inch, 8 inch, thin-type 8 inch); CD (5
inch, 3 inch), CDV

bience.
