Control interface for remote control of
systems. The CD player /
Music Player
receives the infra-red remote control signals and passes then on
to the power amplifier and to the source devices.
Field strength
The electrical field strength is a measurement of the level (strength) of the radio
signal supplied by the antenna. In general terms, the higher the field strength of
the tuned station, the better the reception quality. Signal field strength is
determined primarily by the following factors:
1. Distance from radio transmitter
2. Obstacles (mountains etc.) between transmitter and receiver
3. Transmitter output power
4. Quality and direction of the receiver antenna system.
Point 4 is of crucial importance here. It is impossible to obtain good reception
with a poor aerial system.
Your specialist
dealer will be glad to advise you on the subject of installing
or improving your aerial system, taking your specific local reception conditions
into account.
FLAT
In
FLAT
mode the signals pass along the shortest possible signal paths within
the unit. All sub-assemblies which are not absolutely essential (e. g. the tone
controls) are by-passed by means of high-quality gold-contact relays in this
mode. The frequency response and phase response of the unit are absolutely
linear in this mode of operation. This means that the
FLAT
setting provides the
most faithful reproduction and the highest possible quality, and it should always
be selected if the tone controls are in the centre position in any case.
FM
= Frequency Modulation
All VHF radio transmitters use the
'FM'
method of modulation. This technology
provides maximum possible sound quality and interference suppression.
Cable Network
When the
Music Players
's tuner was being developed the requirements of the
European cable network were given high priority. The tuner copes very well
with excessive signal levels, and its high selectivity avoids many of the
problems involved with cable operation, without any reduction in reproduction
quality.
MIX
In MIX-Mode (Shuffle) the titles of a CD or the titles of a program are played
back in a random order.
Muting =
Hiss suppression
The
Music Player
features automatic hiss suppression which cuts out the
annoying hissing sound between radio stations, and suppresses very weak
stations which cannot be received with reasonable quality.
Preset
= station memory
The
Music Player
can store all the settings for stations, any of which can be
recalled simply by pressing a button.
RDS
= Radio Data System
Many radio stations broadcast supplementary digital information simultaneously
with the programme. The
Music Player
is equipped with an RDS decoder, and
displays the station name of RDS transmitters in plain text on its alpha-numeric
screen. This is a great advantage when searching for particular stations.
SINGLE CD
A Single CD‘ is a CD with smaller diameter and a shorter play time. The
Music Player
can play back CD singles. Please insert these discs into the
depression at the center of the disc tray.
