DISCS
The CLD-901 can play both LaserVision discs and Compact Discs. Unlike conventional phonograph records, these
discs are played back from the inside edge out.
LaserVision discs are available as both standard play discs and extended play discs. Discs with digitally recorded
sound are also available.
STANDARD PLAY (CAV) DISC
Standard play discs are played at constant angular
velocity (CAV). One frame is recorded for each
revolution of the disc, and a 12-inch disc can contain
up to 54,000 frames on one side (normal playing time
30 minutes). Still-frame/step frame, multi-speed,
repeat, and other forms of trick playback are available
with these discs.
With discs on which chapter numbers have been
recorded, chapter skip and chapter program play etc.
are possible.
EXTENDED PLAY (CLV) DISCS
These discs are recorded at a constant linear velocity
(CLV). When the signal is recorded in this way, the
number of frames that are recorded per revolution of
the disc, increases as the recording advances towards
the outer edge, so in comparison with standard play
discs longer play is possible. (For normal playback of
12-inch discs, a maximum playback time is 1 hour is
possible.)
Extended play discs cannot be used for trick playback,
but search (random access) and repeat playback may
be performed.
With discs on which chapter numbers have been
recorded, chapter skip and chapter program play are
also
possible.
:
* The playback time varies according to the disc.

SOUND
The jackets and labels of these
discs bear the symbol on the left.
in addition to the conventional analog sound signals,
LaserVision with Digital Sound Discs also have re-
corded on them the same kind of pulse-code-
modulated sound signals that are recorded on
Compact Discs.
The high quality pictures of these LaserVision Discs,
can be enjoyed together with digital sound, at the
same time.
The two types of sound, digital and analog, are
recorded onto the discs using different frequency
bands, as shown in the figure.
For the sake of convenience, this book calls these
sound signals ‘‘digital sound’’ and ‘‘analog sound”

<VRB1001>
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
If the player is brought from cool surroundings into
a warm room, or if the temperature of the room
rises suddenly, condensation may form in the
operating system and objective lens of the player.
While condensation is present, it will not be
possible for signals to be read out by the laser
beam.
Depending on the degree of condensation, let the
player stand for an hour or two in its new sur-
roundings with the power switched on. When the
player reaches room temperature, the condensa-
tion will evaporate, and playback will be possible.
The same symptoms of condensation may be caused
during summer, if the player is exposed to the breeze from
an air conditioner. In such cases change the location of
the player.
NOTE
If the player is switched on during reception of FM or AM
broadcasts, the player may interfere with reception. When the
player is not being used, please switch it off.
Also, if the player causes interference when a broadcast is
being received with an indoor antenna, please adjust the direc-
tion of the antenna.

Compact discs and LaserVision with Digital Sound
Discs, is a very low noise level combined with a very
large dynamic range.
As a result, be extremely careful when playing back
these discs and adjust the sound volume properly in
order to prevent damage to your speakers from an
excessive input.
TO BEGIN PLAYBACK
[Preparations]
@ Turn on your television, and set it to a channel
(3 or 4) which is not being used for broad-
casting.
(When using a TV set with a video input ter-
minal, select video input.)

BASIC OPERATION
4. Load the disc
mw Whether a LaserVision Disc or Compact Disc,
be sure to load the disc so that the label of the
side you wish to play is facing up, in the same
way as for an audio record.
NOTE:
¢ Only one disc canbe loaded as any one time.
Loading a LaserVision Disc anda Compact Disc on top of one another
may result in breakdown, or in scratching of the discs. Please only
load one disc at a time.
ef fingerprints or dirt adheres to the playback surface of the disc, the
video and audio quality will be impaired. Before loading a disc, clean
the disc’s bottom surface if it is dirty (this is the opposite side to the
label side, but it is the side with the signal which will be played back).

BASIC. OPERATION
| TO WATCH A TV BROADCAST
When a VHF TV antenna has been connected to your
TV via the player’s ANTENNA terminal, in accordance
with the connection example given in these in-
structions (page 8), TV broadcasts can be received
normally by proceeding in one of the following two
ways:
m By switching off power to the player
Before switching off power, first perform the steps
in “TO STOP PLAYBACK”, and stop disc playback.
m= By making the LVP indicator on the front panel

or turn off power.
NOTE:
In an area where the TV broadcast signal is weak, slanting
stripes may appear on the TV screen when the TV/LVP key is
pressed to receive a TV broadcast. However this does not
indicate a fault, and the stripes can be eliminated by turning
off power to the player.
In such cases, or when you wish to watch TV for long
periods of time, we recommend that you turn off the power
switch of the player.
WHEN USING A TV SET WITH VIDEO AND

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The accessory remote control unit can be used
during playback of both LaserVision Discs and
Compact Discs.
@ The functions shown in black are used for
LaserVision Discs only.
@ The functions shown in green are used for
Compact Discs only.
Keys appearing in other colors have the same
functions for both kinds of disc.
The keys on the remote control unit for SCAN,
STILL/STEP, CHAP.SKIP, and TRACK SEARCH
are rocker type switches. They do not operate if
pushed at the center.
NOTE FOR USING THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
@ If there is any obstacle between the remote control unit
and the player, or if the unit is held at too large an angle
relative to the front panel of the player, the signal from
the. remote control unit may fail to reach the remote
sensor.
When operating the remote control unit, point the
infrared signal transmitter part of the unit at the e
remote control receiver (REMOTE SENSOR) on the
front panel of the player. The remote control unit may
be used within a range of about 7 meters from the
remote sensor, within angles of up to about 30 de-
grees. When a command from the remote control
unit is received by the player, the indicator on the
front panel lights.
NOTE:
If a plug is connected to either the CONTROL input terminal
or the I/O PORT on the rear panel of the player, pointing the
remote control unit at the REMOTE SENSOR will not enable
remote control operation. For remote control operation
please point the unit at the remote sensor of either the AV
master amplifier or component display which is connected
to the player.
18
<VRB1001>
lf the player is operating in the vicinity of other appli-
ances generating infrared rays, or if other remote control
devices using infrared rays are used near the player, the
player may operate improperly. Conversely, if the player's
remote control unit is operated in the vicinity of other
appliances which use an infrared remote control device,
the other appliance may operate improperly. If this
should happen, change the place of installation so that
improper operation does not occur.
If the range of operation of the remote control unit
becomes too short, replace the batteries.
When the unit is not to be used for a long period of time
(more than one month), remove the batteries to prevent
them from leaking inside the compartment. If leakage
occurs, wipe up the liquid inside the compartment and
replace the batteries with new ones.
Do not place books or other objects on the remote
control unit, since they might depress the buttons and run
down the batteries.
