 The LatestDigital Technologyfor the Finest
IVusical Reproduction
Once again, Technics employs the latest
technological innovations in this yea r's line-
up for outstanding sound reproduction. The
A/ASH* l-bit DAC (digital-to-analog con-
verter) helps assure faithful reproduction of
even the faintest musical signals. And the
digital servo system further contributes to
premium sound quality by automatically
adjusting servo operation for individual disc
abnormalities.
Add to this the quiet loading mechanism
for ultra-smooth disc loading, and you have
your key to the ultimate in high-fldelity CD
entertainment Technics, of course.

With ideal digital-to-analog con-

the MASH l-bit DAC. An improve-
ment over conventional DACs, this
advanced system uses high-order
oversampling and noise shaping
technology to virtually eliminate non-
linearity and zero-cross distortion. This
helps assure the accurate reproduction
of minute signals, which might other
wise be obscured by this distortion.

To accurately position its optical

Conventional servo systems use

factory to work well with a "stan-

that is, for example, very ofF-cente[ or

system may overreact. This can cause

However, the Technics digital
servo system is intelligent. Each time a
disc is loaded. it checks how off-
center each disc is, and gathers infor
mation about scratches and dirt.
Based on this data, the digital servo
optimizes its response, performing
only the minimum aqiustments
required during play So even with
imperfect discs, you can get sound
quality that rivals your discs in good
condition.
