MULTI-AMPLIFIER SYSTEM

To provide reinforcement for the ultra-low frequencies, in addition to the Left/Right 2-channel amplifier used to reproduce mid-tohigh-range frequencies, this system incorporates a second L/R 2-channel amplifier just for reproduction of ultra-low frequencies

- making it, in effect, a 4-amplifier system. By utilizing discrete amplifiers for mid-to-high frequencies and low frequencies, highquality sonic reproduction that is virtually free from distortion can be realized.

BUILT-IN SUBWOOFER SYSTEM

The built-in subwoofer system has a separate subwoofer cavity area that is part of the loudspeaker cabinet structure, which acts as a sonic filter to cut distortion components. (In the Multi Amplifier system, the ultra-low frequency signals transmitted from fheir own independent amplifier are reproduced in this area.) This separate construction gives a clear, rich definition to bass reproduction and it can realize clear, well-defined mid-to-high frequency signals. And AlWA's built-in subwoofer system incorporates a subwoofer capable of powerful, satisfying bass performance with true stereo separation.

WHAT IS AN MD (MINI DISC)?

THE LIMITATIONS OF MD

An MD is only 64 mm (2% inches) in diameter, about half the size of a conventional CD. But an MD can be used to store and playback a full 74 minutes of'data such as a CD. Unlike a CD, an MD comes in a plastic cartridge, so that it can be handled with ease. The cartridge also protects the disc inside from shocks, dust and scratches. Unlike cassette tapes, which can become stretched or tangled, an MD is an excellent durable media.

TYPE OF MD

There are two types of MDs: "Optical discs" and "Magneto-optical discs". Both types use laser beams and optical pick-up technology to read recorded data during playback.

Optical discs These are playback only discs. Like CDs, they are used as prerecorded music discs. You cannot record or edit them.

The shutter covers

Label

Recordable MO*^ discs These are recordable discs which can be recorded on again and again, like cassette tapes. The recording method called magneto optical technology employs a laser and magnetism to record signals. Therefore, the quality of recorded sound does not deteriorate even after many playbacks and recordings.

*' MO: An abbreviation of Magneto Optical

the opening only on the non-labeled side of the MD.

The shutter covers the opening on both sides of the MD.

Recording on the MD is performed differently from that of a cassette tape or a DAT. Therefore, the MD system is subject to the following restrictions.

"TOC* Full" is displayed even if the recording time does not reach the maximum recordable time of the disc (60minute or 74-minute)

"TOC Full" is displayed when 254 tracks are already recorded

on a disc, without respect to the recording time.

*TOC: An abbreviation of Table Of Contents.

"TOC Full" is displayed even if a disc is not fully recorded

If there are lots of emphasis data in a particular track, the unit handles the data as index codes, and tracks are counted, in addition, without respect to the time and number of tracks.

The remaining time on a disc is not increased even after some short tracks have been erased When the remaining time on a disc is displayed, it may not be

increased even after erasing short tracks because the sections less than eight seconds are not counted.

Certain tracks cannot be joined (the COMBINE function doés not function)

• Tracks created by editing may not be joined.

• It is not possible to combine a track recorded in monaural and

a track recorded in stereo.

The total of the recorded time and the remaining time on

a disc does not match the maximum recordable time of

the disc (60-minute or 74-minute)

Recording is performed in a minimum unit of one cluster (two seconds). Even if the recorded section is shorter than two seconds, a two-second space is needed in recording. Therefore,

the available time becomes shorter.

Track numbers may not be registered properly When recording from a CD with CD ► MD, small tracks may be created depending on the contents of a CD. When using the AUTO MARK function, track numbers may not be registered properly depending on the contents of the CD.

Ultra compact size made possible by ATRAC*^ technology A newly developed digital audio compression technology called the ATRAC system automatically extracts only the frequencies that are actually audible to the human ear and cuts the frequencies which are inaudible. This compresses the amount

of data to be recorded to 1/5 of the normal amount. The ATRAC

system is based upon studies carried out in the field of auditory

psychology and does not impair the quality of the audible sound.

ATRAC: An abbreviation of Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding

Quick random access

One of the great features of the MD is that you can search for

desired tracks quickly. There are also quick and easy functions for random playback, in which the order of the tracks can be

rearranged at random, and for renumbering tracks enabling them to be played in any order.

26 ENGLISH

Digital inputs may not be acceptable When digital recording is attempted from recorded material with copyrights, digital dubbing cannot be performed to a recordable MD from another MD recorded in digital because of the built-in record restriction function which complies with the SCMS* standard.

• SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is the standard to restrict single digital dubbing between digital audio systems thus protecting copyrights.
