YAMAHA INTRODUCES THE SECOND-GENERATION GAP.

Second generation CD players have come a long way. But none come close to the new Yamaha CD-X1. It is the most technically advanced, user-friendly high-performance CD player you can buy. For two small reasons.

LSI. Q.

Meet the YM-3511 and the YM-2201, two high density, highly "intelligent" LSI's specially developed and patented by Yamaha.

Together, they can do the work of many multiple LSI's and integrated circuits. And do it better.

Because of them, the CD-X1 performs better, weighs less, takes up less space. And costs less money.

OUR LASER'S EDGE.

The CD-X1 also incorporates a remarkably compact three-beam laser combined with a super-smooth ceramic bearing in the disc drive motor. This advance, coupled with our proprietary LS1's servo control circuitry, provides exceptionally stable beam tracking for exceptional audio performance.

TRUE CONVERSION.

Highly accurate conversion of the digital signal to an analog signal is critical for optimum playback performance. Most CD players perform this conversion at the standard sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. Again because of our superior LSI technology, the digital filter system in the CD-X1 doubles this rate to 88.2 kHz. This 2-times oversampling virtually eliminates phase distortion and greatly improves playback resolution.

AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.

To make using it as pleasurable as listening to it, the CD-X1 has a long list of user-friendly features. Like three different play modes for greater playback flexibility. A multifunction time indicator. Simple and versatile memory programming. And a very convenient music search function that allows you to find selections or individual passages within a selection at the touch of a button.

But perhaps its most user-friendly feature is the $599* price tag.

The CD-XI from Yamaha. The others don't have anything like it. But you can have one just like it. At your Yamaha dealer now.
