Thank you for choosing TEAC. Read this manual carefully to get
the best performance from this unit.
Features
VRDS mechanism (employing a aluminum
tapered turntable and turntable bridge)
The VDRS assembly, though secure clamping to a turntable of
the same diameter as the disc being played, totally removes
unnecessary vibration; either from mechanical sources, or
from the typical vibration of a disc. Rigidity is also achieved
through the use of a turntable bridge composed of precision-
processed carbon tool steel. The shape of the turntable also
helps to correct any warp in the disc. Because of the precise
alignment of the optical axis produced by this arrangement,
the servo current is reduced. All of the above factors decrease
the disc read error rate, and help to prevent timing errors from
the clock circuit.
Word Sync
The P-70 can achieve word synchronization by accepting a
master clock from any suitably-equipped D/A converter. With
the converter acting as the master clock, any jitter resulting
from data transfer between the player and the converter is
essentially eliminated.
Twin-transformer structure, with the power
supply completely separated from the
mechanical and digital signal systems
To eliminate mutual interference, the important key
components of the player: power supply, mechanism control,
and digital system (word sync, frequency multiplier, and clock)
have been separated completely in the design. There are two
split-core transformers in the power supply for additional
interference rejection.
7 digital outputs, including 4 digital outputs
from the converter multiplier (2xFs, 4xFs)
The player has four (XLR x 2, RCA x 1, TOS x 1) digital output
terminals to handle the high-speed multiplied digital outputs
(2xFs:24 bits at 88.2kHz, 4xFs: 24 bits at 176.4kHz), in addition to
3 "standard" digital output terminals (RCA x 1, TOS x 2)
44.1kHz.
Following the dual AES specification, 4xFs (24bits at 176.4kHz)
audio is output from twin XLR terminals
The operational algorithm employed in the converter multiplier
circuit is the RDOT method; exclusive to TEAC Corporation.
High rigidity chassis and triangular pinpoint
feet
Based on 8 mm thick sheet steel, with the VRDS mechanism
attached directly, and employing H-type 20 mm thick extruded
aluminum. The front panel and the sides employ a construction
method in which the 1.6 mm thick sheets are first plated with
copper, and then with nickel. This two-layer design succeeds
in totally removing internal interference, and helps to optimize
the sonic performance.
With the triangular pinpoint feet composed of case-hardened
tool steel, vibration is almost completely eliminated.

its original position in the player. Then, press the power switch
to turn the power off, and disconnect the power cord. Moving
this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.
Beware of condensation
When the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or
used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of
condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal
mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent this,
or if this occurs, leave the unit for one or two hours with the
power turned on. Then the unit will stabilize at the temperature of
its surroundings.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or use
diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any fluid
completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as they may
damage the surface of the unit.
Placement of the unit
High-quality hardened tool steel is used for the pin-point feet,
securely attached to the bottom of the player. Although the cover
feet may appear loose, the weight of the unit causes them to be
firm and secure, and the design effectively damps and reduces
vibration.
< Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit, on account of
its weight. Get someone to help you if necessary.
< To protect floors, etc. you may stick the felt supplied with the
unit to the bottom of the cover feet.
