Page 13: Technical Description
Inside, main power is provided by a custom high-current 38VA toroidal transformer. The power supply of the CDP-88 is generously oversized to assure that regardless how much current is drawn, the circuitry will remain unaffected by any fluctuations. Numerous power supplies are used, to assure the elimination of interference caused by fluctuations often induced by heavy current draw on shared supplies. - Page 14 CDP-88 is the custom remote handset. It features an exceptionally wide transmission angle to the IR receiver on the CDP-88, and is engineered to last an extremely long time. The CDP-88 features an HDCD decoder that, in addition to allowing full HDCD decoding, functions as a state of the art 8X oversampling filter if the input data is not encoded in HDCD format.
- Page 15 CDP-88 from other equipment when the CDP-88 is not powered. Great care has been used throughout the design and layout of the CDP-88 to meet FCC class B requirements. This will ensure that the CDP-88 will be insensitive to noisy components in a system, and in turn will not cause harmful interference to other components.
