Play the hits. With no errors.
By now, you're probably familiar with the virtues of compact discs. The wide dynamic range and absence of background noise and distortion. And the playback convenience.
Yet as advanced as the medium is, it's still not perfect.
Which is why you need a compact disc player as perfected as Yamaha's new CD-3.
The CD-3 uses a Yamaha-developed tracking servo control LSI to monitor its sophisticated 3-beam laser pickup. This LSI makes sure that horizontal and vertical tracking accuracy is consistently maintained. And that even small surface imperfections like fingerprints or dust will not cause tracking error and loss of signal.
Even more rigorous servo tracking control is provided by a unique Auto Laser Power Control circuit. Working with the tracking LSI, this circuit constantly monitors the signal and compensates for any manufacturing inconsistencies in the disc itself.
Then we use another Yamaha-developed signal processing LSI that doubles the standard 44.1kHz sampling frequency to 88.2 kHz. This over-sampling allows us to use a low-pass analog filter with a gentle cutoff slope. So accurate imaging, especially in the high frequency range, is maintained.
We also use a special dual error correction circuit which detects and corrects multiple data errors in the initial stage of signal reconstruction.
So you hear your music recreated with all the uncolored, natural and accurate sound compact discs have to offer.
Another way the CD-3 makes playing the hits error-free is user-friendliness.
All multi-step operations like random playback programming, index search, and phrase repeat are performed with ease.
And visually confirmed in the multi-function display indicator.
And the wireless remote control that comes with the CD-3 allows you to execute all playback and programming commands with the greatest of ease.
But enough talk. It's time to visit your Yamaha audio dealer and tell him you want to play your favorite music on a CD-3. You can't go wrong.
