Achieving the Ultimate Performance
STEREO RECEIVER WITH iPod INTERFACE AND INTERNET-RADIO: AG-H600NT
When you first listen to TEAC’s high end Stereo Receiver, the AG-H600NT, do not be surprised if you experience similar
emotions as the performing musicians. This is not achieved by magic, but through the accumulation of TEAC’s superior
technology skills and experience over almost 60 years.
It is a fact that a clean and stable power supply is critical when striving to achieve the ultimate audio performance.
Any sudden and rapid increase of the signal level required in a musical passage, for example, as in the introduction to the
second movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, requires a measured and controlled power input. That’s why, from the
very beginning of its development, TEAC’s engineers carefully designed the power supply section of the AG-H600NT to deliver
pure and unwavering power to every single part of the unit.

Imposing Power Supply
Large Toroidal-core power transformers on both the AG-H600NT
and PD-H600 deliver ample current power to the heart of the
amplifier, and to the digital and analog sections of the CD player.
The AG-H600NT carries ELNA electrolytic capacitors and resistors
exc lusively designed for high
fi d e l it y pr o d u ct s , wh i l e a
Sch ottky barrier diode i n the
rectifier circuit offers great
advantages in r es po nd in g to
sudden musical surges. There
is an oxygen-free copper coil for the audio filter in the power
amplifier section and, in addition, a Direct FET Power MOSFET is
used to fully maximize the highly efficient Class-D amplifier.
On the PD-H600, thick film resistors used in the signal input
section also contribute to the player’s natural, free-flowing sound.
Furthermore, a master clock generator, operating with a finite
low-noise current, is located independently on the circuit closely
adjacent to the D/A converter to avoid jitter noise.

Achieving Greater Accuracy
CD PLAYER: PD-H600
Listening to music on TEAC’s PD-H600 CD player, allows you hear subtle details, breathing new life into even the most familiar
recordings. The Compact Disc is still the most popular and widely used digital music source in the world, and its potential is
huge and indispensable. For accurate signal reading from discs, TEAC’s Reference 600 CD Player employs an ultra high precision
CD mechanism incorporated into a rigid body construction, skillfully created, and machined by true craftsmen.

Power with Subtlety
A closer look at the electronics reveals that Burr-Brown’s 24-bit/
192kHz Delta-sigma D/A Converters maximize the potential of your
latest compact-disc recordings. In addition, as you would expect
from TEAC, every component – including the ELNA electrolytic
capacitors and resistors – are carefully chosen by experienced
engineers for true audiophiles.
A shunt regulator maintains the
same level of output current by
adjusting the value of the resistors,
which are connected in parallel
within the in-flow current section.

What is Internet-Radio?
Internet-Radio, also known as streaming radio or
web-radio, is an audio broadcasting service on the
internet. Most of the broadcasters on the internet
are existing broadcasting stations for FM or AM,
and they are transmi tting the same pr ogram to
the internet si multane ously. However, there a re
thousands of internet-exclusive broadcasters and
person al -based stations as well . Moreove r, t he
number of stations has been increasing day by day
and the total number has reached over 12,000.
The most interesting characteristic of Internet-Radio
is that it is ”Borderless” which no other traditional
broadcasting medium is. It is also accessible from
anywhere in the world, whenever you connect to the
internet, via either wire or wireless.
Once you connect to the internet, the InternetRadio tuner displays dozens of the thousands of
station names by genre, or by country. You can then
narrow the list by selecting a sub-genre and click
select to listen to a station that you may want to try.
Digital audio signals from the station travels over
the internet, across city limit, borders, mountains, or
even the Atlantic Ocean.
Internet-Radio
Internet-Radio turns you into an armchair music
world traveller. Furthermore, Internet-Radio is not
just for music lovers. Almost all interests including,
religion, news, comedy or talk radio stations can all
be heard in your preferred language. Internet-Radio
will forever make a significant difference to your
listening choice and habits.
