Welcome.
We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a  product. With your new DVD 1240 R (HD) you have acquired
a top-quality piece of equipment which has been designed and developed with the wishes of the audiophile music lover
as absolute top priority.
Our innovative approach to solving problems, solid and carefully thought-out construction, and the highest quality
materials ensure that this unit will satisfy your greatest demands and requirements over a period of many years.
Thorough quality checking of all materials, painstaking production by highly qualified staff, and a fully automatic,
computer-controlled final quality control process guarantee a product of high quality which meets the specification in full.
In our production system we avoid the use of all environmentally harmful and potentially injurious substances, such as
chlorine-based solvents and CFCs.
Moreover we avoid the use of plastics (especially PVC) as a constructional element wherever possible. Instead we rely
upon metals and other non-harmful materials which on the one hand are recyclable and on the other offer very good
electrical shielding characteristics.
Our insistence on solid all-metal cases eliminates the problem of adverse effects on sound quality caused by external
sources of interference. This also ensures that the electro-magnetic radiation (electro-smog) caused by our equipment is
effectively shielded, reducing it to an absolute minimum.
