This manual consists of four parts including Preparations, Basics,

Applications and Knowledge.

Preparations

This part describes the methods of connections to other audio

components and the names of parts of the system. Connections

are sometimes complicated with certain audio components.

Please read this part carefully before proceeding to the connec-

tions.

Basics

This part gives the operating procedures of basic functions in-

cluding playback of music.

Applications

This part gives the operating procedures of applied functions

(functions for convenience) including program playback of music.

Knowledge

This part gives useful information such as "Troubleshooting" and

"Specifications".

New-generation audio system for impressive CD music entertainment

7 "Supreme EX" for beautiful reproduction of music signal data in CD

Highly accurate interpolation of music signals up to 20 kHz into a wide range of signals up to 40 kHz.

Left/right independent D/A converters for reproduction of even the delicate atmosphere of concert halls.

7 Advanced technology for faithful amplification of music signals by thoroughly eliminating noise

Separate circuit design for preventing degradation of music signals:

The mechanical block, digital block and analog block are separated to minimize the effects on the sound quality due to mutual rela-

tions between these blocks. In addition, the analog signal paths employ independent differentiated circuit configurations for the

left and right channels to prevent crosstalk.

Three-transformer configuration for stable power supply:

Independent power transformers are provided for the "amplifier circuitry", "CD mechanism/digital converter circuitry" and "con-

trol circuitry". A toroidal power transformer featuring stable power supply is used with the amplifier circuitry that requires highest

power. The final stage of the amplifier circuitry uses the TRAIT, which features an excellent temperature-tracking characteristic and

enriches the volume of low frequencies and free expansion of high frequencies.

CD-dedicated direct circuitry:

The CD-dedicated direct circuitry transmits the music signals from the CD to the amplifier through the shortest distance by bypass-

ing the selector and tone circuits.
