State of The Art Television just Moved To Another State.

The Mitsubishi CM-1901 component video system shares a great deal more than a striking resemblance to the electronic exotica of the professional.

For it marks the first time ever that professional quality video and audio has been made available for the home.

Far more than components separated for cosmetic reasons that some call "pro" television, it delivers performance that is professional in every aspect. Except price.

The CM-1901 brings this lofty level of performance and technology into the home in the form of a High-Definition Diamond Vision picture tube.

From a standard broadcast signal, the CM-1901 monitor will produce well in excess of 330 horizontal lines of resolution. That adds up to a stunning 400 lines from video discs. For computers, that translates into the faithful reproduction of 2000 bright, legible characters and high density graphics.


Mitsubishi's fine-pitch design delivers 36% more resolution.

High-definition (.4mm) CRT.

36% MORE RESOLUTION, 40% MORE COLOR.

The CM-1901's ability to discern such fine detail is made possible by a 0.40mm fine-pitch black-matrix striped phosphor screen. In conjunction with the reduced beam spot size of its multi-step focus electron gun and the extended high frequency output of the video amplifiers, this results in 36% greater resolution than a conventional screen.

Further separating CM-1901's screen from the conventional is a feature that can be legitimately called one of the most significant innovations in the color picture tube ever. Diamond Vision.


--------Conventional screen reflects most ambient light.

Diamond Vision absorbs most ambient light.-----------

The Diamond Vision screen selectively transmits only the most desirable light wavelengths of the phosphors, producing truer, cleaner primary colors. The special chemicals mixed into the screen also absorb ambient light striking the faceplate. With color impurities filtered out and less light reflected back at you, the range of colors that can be reproduced is improved dramatically--as much as 40%. Subtle shades and hues are revealed. The picture takes on a more three-dimensional quality.

When used with a computer, an additional high-contrast tint helps reduce the eye-strain associated with long hours spent in front of the monitor.

The "nerve center" of the system is the TX-102R Control Center. Besides functioning as a sophisticated routing network integrating your entire system, it offers 139 channel cable-ready tuning, phase-locked loop, frequency-synthesized, with the convenience of random access and remote control, plus twin video outputs, twin antenna inputs, and an RGB input for direct access to your computer.

The audio side of the CM-1901 system features a pair of three-way bass-reflex, acoustically-tuned speakers that deliver astonishing realism from tapes or videodiscs.


----The CM-1901's Component System is flexible, capable of expanding with your needs.

Spend the money for the CM-1901 Component System and you can be sure of one thing. State-of-the-art's new home is yours.
