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 B to 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 V
IC
Separation
Circuitry
This circuitry
memorizes
a scene, and immediately
compares
it
with the current
scene to achieve
VIC
separation
with
less dot
interference and cross color interference than 3-line
VIC
separation
(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
D/A
converter
used in this player employs
an
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
D/A
converter section, thus minimizing quantization noise and providing
extremely high-precision.
Furthermore, two of these
D/A
converters
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.
Digital output
terminals
This unit is equipped
with both optical output and coaxial digital
output terminals.

En
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 8 seconds.
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.
