Future technologies come to your home
Th
is
system
uses
a laser beam
to
detect
the signal record-
ed
on
the laser disc. There
is
no
physical
contact
between
the
pickup
system and the disc
itself
since the laser beam
is
focused on the signal patterns and the
variation
of
the
light
reflected
is
converted
into
the reproduced signal.
Unlike
an
ordinary
phonograph record , there
is
no
abrasion and
no
wear on the disc
or
the
pickup.
Even
if
there
are
finger-
prints
or
dust
on the laser disc surface, this
will
not
usually
interfere
with
reproduction
of
picture
or
audio
because the
laser beam
is
focused
about
1.1
mm
under
the disc surface.
In
other
words,
the recorded signal surface
is
not
exposed,
so
video disc handling
is
easy and requires
no
special care.
High
fidelity
stereo sound
Besides the video signal,
audio
is rec·orded on
two
sep~Hate
channels
as
FM signals.
Therefore,
stereo
or
bilingual
re-
production
is
also possible.
Audio
frequency
response
is
40Hz
-
20
kHz,
signal-to-noise
ratio
is
55dB
or
more, and
total
harmonic
distortion
is
0.
3%
or
less,
making
this high
fidelity
·stereo source comparable
with
conventional
phonograph
records
or
FM broadcasts.
Although
connection
to
an
ordinary
television set
is
all
that
is
required
for
normal video and
audio
reproduction
, we re-
commend
that
a
hi-fi
stereo system, one
from
Pioneer,
for
example,
is
used
to
take
full
advantage
of
the
hi-fi
sound
quality
of
the laser disc.
Both
standard play
(CAV)
and extended play
(CLV)
laser
disc
can
be
played, and
VP-l000
automatically detects these
laser
discs
and
play
accordingly.
The
standard play disc, also
known
as
the
CAV
or
constant
angular
velocity
disc, spins at the same,
constant
speed
of
1,800
rpm
from
the
inner
circumference
to
the
outer
cir-
cumference
and provides a
maximum
of
30
minutes
playing
time
per side.
On the
CAV
disc, one video
picture
frame
is
recorded
for
each
revolution,
so
a
number
of
additional
performance
features
are
possible.
Although
the
extended
play
disc, also
known
as
the
CLV
or
constant
linear
velocity
disc, does
not
offer
such
additional
features,
it
does have a
maximum
playing
time
of
one
hour
per side since the
rotational
speed
continuously
varies
from
1,800
rpm
at the
inner
circumference
to
600
rpm
at
the
outer
circumference.
Built-in computer control provides multiple
performance features and
easy
operation.
From
the
inner
to
the
outer
circumference, the Pioneer
laser disc
has
a
maximum
of
54,000
"tracks"
in
a con-
tinuous
spiral
pattern.
On the
CAV
(standard
play)
disc, the
signal
for
one video
picture
frame
is
recorded on one track
covering one
full
revolution.
Beginning at the inside circum-
ference, each frame
is
recorded along
with
its frame num-
ber. Thanks
to
microcomputer
control,
a single frame
can
be
played repeatedly
to
provide a still picture, each frame
can
be
played several times
for
slow
motion,
and tracks can
be
skipped
for
fast-forward
or
reverse
reproduction.
There
is
also a
"super
action"
feature
so
called frame number
random
access
that
will
find
a specific frame
automatically
by
frame
number
within
15
seconds, and
you
can
play
slow
motion,
fast
action,
and etc.
from
that
point.
Such
complex
operations
are
remarkably
easy,
as
will
be
apparent when
you
operate
VP-1000
laser disc player.
Infrared wireless remote control
is
possible.
With
the
optional
RU-1000
remote
control
unit
virtually
all
operations can
be
controlled
from
a distance via infrared
light.
Remote
control
using a
connection
wire
is
also pos-
sible.
Adaptable
to
PCM digital audio
disc
reproduction.
VP-1000
is
equipped
with
special
output
jacks
for
provision
for
a
PCM
adaptor
to
decode the signal
from
soon-to-be-
available
PCM
(pulse code
modulation)
digital audio discs.
