“HIGH FIDELITY FOR YOUR EYES”
The VCD-1000
Having set the sonic standards for home audio, Harman Kardon now enters the world of home video by introducing high fidelity for your eyes! Harman Kardon applied its 30 years of technical expertise to an extraordinary new home entertainment product: The VCD-1000 VHS Hi-Fi.
A breathtaking audio product with high quality video, the VCD-1000 is the perfect link to an integrated audio / video system.
As with all renowned Harman Kardon products, the critical issues of the quality of the circuitry, construction and layout of components were expertly addressed. The VCD-1000 utilizes an advanced record / playback system which FM encodes the audio signal. This FM signal is recorded and played back via high speed rotating heads (1800 rpm), resulting in wide, flat frequency response (23Hz-20kHz, ±3dB), virtually non-existent wow-and-flutter (0.005%), and 80dB dynamic range.
Custom-designed discrete filters are precisely tuned in production to extend frequency response, critically align noise reduction and reduce high frequency distortion.
Applications of Harman Kardon acclaimed amplifier philosophies that are evident in the VCD-1000 are the use of discrete components for reduced distortion and the use of low negative feedback.
Stereo TV Tuner
The VCD-1000 incorporates a built-in 105 channel cable-ready stereo TV tuner, and is capable of receiving, recording and playing back high fidelity stereo TV broadcasts (with bi-lingual channel capability), even if you don't own a stereo TV yet. There is an independent audio tuner section resulting in improved sound quality from these stereo broadcasts.
The video section offers 4-event / 14-day programming; still frame; high speed forward and reverse picture search; full digital displays; slow motion and an infra-red remote control that duplicates all front panel functions.
VM-100 Video Monitor
To further refine the audio / video vista, Harman Kardon is introducing the VM-100... a 25" diagonal, high resolution video monitor. The VM-100 combines exceptional linearity and superb transient response to deliver a picture that can only compliment the high fidelity sound.
When incorporated with Harman Kardon's unparalleled audio components, your world of high fidelity audio / video enjoyment becomes boundless.
Experience the Harman Kardon line of audio / video products... They're pure high fidelity for your eyes.
