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.
