adequately.
It is recommended to keep the packaging available for future transportation needs.
Introduction
Features
▷Double belt-drive system which operates both center spindle and laser pick-up by rubber
belt remarkably stabilizes the mechanical vibration and electrical noises caused by each
driving motor. The disc stabilizer specially designed and precisely hand-made for TL0
3.0 covers the entire top and outer edge of the CD to prevent light scattering and internal
reection, and realizes smooth and stable rotation of the CD in belt-drive system with big
inertia.
▷Themost important components to obtain the music signal out of rotating CD, spindle shaft and laser pick-
up have been mounted to the double-constructed heavy chassis; brass and aluminum plates. It results that
dumping effect has signicantly been improved while vibration has quickly been absorbed. This heavy chassis
with key components has been oated by special suspension system at three points; vibration frequency is now
lowered to less than 5 Hz.
▷ 
CEC’s original Super Link connection has been fitted for the first time in the TL0 series.
When connected to the D/A converter equipped with Super-Link inputs, the shortest and
most direct digital signal transportation is available without passing through encoding and
decoding procedure.
▷Word-clock input has been newly installed. Having the same outer clock as the D/A
converter, jitter will be remarkably minimized to improve sound reproduction.

SUPERLINK is CEC’s proprietary digital signal transmission system that transports music
signals and synchronization(clock) signals with separate cables. The SPDIF(Sony Philips
Digital Inter Face) and AES/EBU(Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union)
systems, commonly used in coaxial digital outputs and optical outputs, transmit both the
music and clock signals through the same cable, and thus are prone to jitter effects caused
by the signals interfering with each other. CEC’s SUPERLINK system transmits these signals
separately with multiple cables, requiring no encoding/decoding process for data transmission.
It minimizes deterioration of the music signal during transmission by using the clock signals
from the D/A converter’s master clock generator to achieve complete synchronization. Each
transmission path delivers/receives the following signals.
MCK(Master Clock): The CD transport receives the master clock signal from the D/
A converter through this line, and functions as a slave to the DA converter, enabling
completely synchronized transportation of audio data.
BCK(Bit Clock): Sends bitclock signals, required for digital data bit identification(e.g.
sampling frequency) or signal readout, from the CD transport to the D/A converter.
LRCK(L/R Clock): Sends left/right identication clock signals from the CD transport to the
D/A converter.
DATA: Sends audio data from the CD transport to the DA converter.
