Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion- and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard agaiust this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Gronp recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level Example

Quiet library, soft whispers Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE PLAYER

Gamma-Turn System - Two-Side Continuous 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.

A Side++B Side Continuous Playback Programs Through the use ofthe Gamma-Turn system, programs which go

from side A to side B or from side Bto side A can be freely created.

Full Digital Processing System Virtual elimination of analog processing assures high picture quality with minimal distortion. Thanks to the field correlation digital video processor, the picture is dimensionally balanced with high resolution and high SIN.

Digital TBC system A digital TBC system is used for correcting jitter in the picture processing circuitry, featuring a wide correction range, minimal signal degradation and high-quality picture reproduction.

3D Digital VICSeparation Circuitry This circuitry memorizes a scene, and immediately compares it with the current scene to achieve interference and cross color interference than 3-line (2D), with no loss in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal resolution.

'-Bit DLC D/A Converters

D/A

converters are devices for transforming digital signals into analog signals. The 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 adjustments.

With this type of conversion, there is no loss of music quality even at minute signal levels. Moreover, the noise shaping function

necessary for 1-bit conversion is implemented using a double-step noise shaping system. This system carries out noise shaping once in the preliminary digital filter stage and then again in the

converter section, thus minimizing quantization noise and providing

extremely high-precision. Furthermore, two of these are used independently for the left and right channels, realizing a high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent separation.

Legato Link Conversion

This unit is equipped with Legato Link Conversion which makes

possible reproduction that exceeds the conventional limits of the digital recording format. Legato Link Conversion achieves music reproduction closer to the original sound by deducing the original signal based on the recorded signal.

3D Digital NR LDs contain inherent noise such as color smearing. To effectively reduce this kind of noise, this unit features 3D Digital NR. Vou can also independently adjust brightness and color. Naturally, since processing is digital, there's no loss in picture quality.

Film Mode When Film Mode is ON, the front panel display window and screen display are turned off during playback, and the screen goes black when changing disc sides. Play starting time and the time required to change disc sides is shorter than during normal playback of

movie discs.

Program Playback

Up to 24 chapters can be programmed for playback in any desired

sequence.

Repeat Playback Eight repeat modes - Memory Repeat, A-B Repeat, 1-chapter/track Repeat, One-side Repeat, All side Repeat (for two-side LDs only), Program Repeat, and Random Repeat - are available. (With discs having no TOC, Random Repeat cannot be carried out.)

Special Play Functions

Thanks to the video circuitry's 8-bit digital memory, you can enjoy

a high quality picture and a range of different play modes even with a long-playing disc (CLV).

Random Playback (For LOs, this function is only available with discs containing TOC.) All chapters of one side of a disc can be played in random order .

Hi-Lite/Intra Scan Playback

Hi-Lite Scan - CD, CDV-audio part Playback starts from a point 1 minute after the beginning of the

track, and each track is played for about 8 seconds. Also, Hi-Lite

Scan playback can be started from the desired minute and

second on each track.

Intro Scan - LD, CDV-video part

The beginning of each chapter/track is played for about 8seconds.

Direct CD Function

Pressing DIRECT CD on the front panel instructs the unit to use the CD disc table, which reduces the play starting time. In addition,

since the picture circuit does not function, the player eliminates the

interference between signals and reproduces more pure sound.

Last Memory Function This lets you watch a LD part way through, and then resume watching it later from where you left off.

Compatibility with Many Disc Types and Sizes

In addition to conventional LDs (12 inch, 8 inch), CDs (5 inch), and

CDV discs (5 inch), the player can play thin-type 8 inch LDs and 3

inch CD singles without an adapter.
