A chassis divided into four sections with
reduced mutual interference between
independent substrates and enhanced rigidity
is employed, which includes a three-layered
drive mechanism mount structure that
minimises vibration transmitted to outside,
and a disc tray made of aluminium die cast.
In addition, a high grade design is adopted
for finishing, such as a front aluminium panel
with hairline machining performed in 7 mm
thickness and a spin-processed knob.
