TO CREATE A BETTER DISC PLAYER, WE TURNED TO HIGHER INTELLIGENCE.
-------- Yamaha's proprietary LSI technology provides audibly superior
playback and added programming power.
Introducing the CD-2 compact disc player. And the brains that set it above all other compact disc players. We're referring, of course, to our proprietary LSIs (Large Scale Integrated circuits). And the approach they use to process digital signals.
Most CD players convert the digitized signals at a standard sampling rate of 44.1kHz. So they are forced to use a very sharp 50db/ octave analog filter to cut off the unwanted frequencies above 20kHz generated by the 44.1kHz carrier signal. This process creates phase anomalies which degrade the harmonic structure of your music. You hear this as a loss of dimensionality. So we came up with an intelligent solution. Our YM-2201 LSI. It doubles the sampling rate to 88.2kHz and uses an on-chip digital filter.
This over-sampling eliminates phase distortion and control is standard equipment and maintains the harmonic integrity of your source. With no loss of dimensionality. You can actually hear a more natural, spacious sound from your discs.
A related benefit of our proprietary LSI technology is user convenience. You can choose from three different playback modes.
Program the random-access memory system in moments. And search for selections (or individual passages within a selection) at the touch of a button.
You also get wireless infra-red remote control. Our 3-beam laser with LSI-based servo-control for extraordinary tracking accuracy. And a sleek, component-sized package.
-------Cordless infrared remote.
What's more, if you don't require the CD-2's random access programming, or a remote, you can enjoy all this sound-improving technology in the CD X1. At an even lower price. (CD-2, $599*; CD-X1, $499*) So visit your Yamaha dealer today. And hear for yourself why our CD-2 is the most intelligent way there is to listen to compact discs.
------------To match your decor and other components, the CD-2 is available
in silver and black (both standard component size).
