What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Technics SV-P100

 For home and studio digital recording appilcations Technics presents the SV-P100 , a wholly self-contained unit with built-in VHS tape mechanism. The Technics SV-P100  is the most compact digital recording system in existence. lt has everything you need to start making the highest quality recordings you've  ever heard. Advanced semiconductor circuitry provides  outstanding performance in a compact package. Plus you enjoy versatile digital  editing features. W ith all this state-of-the-art technology, you'll  be happy  to find that the SV-P100 is just as easy to use as an ordinary cassette deck-perhaps easier.
 High-Density LSls for Compact Size
State-of-the-art semic onductor technology is the  key to the compact dimensions of the SV-P100, the world's smallest digital recording system. Three original  LSI c hips handle virtually  all  of the signal  processing including digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion. They also take care of error detection,  error correction, video signal modulation and time-base correction. Since these take the place of thousands of transistors and hundreds of  lCs, circuit size is dramatically reduced.

Built-in VHS Mechanism
Built into the SV-P100 is a very high quality VHS video tape transport mechanism with advanced video heads and quartz locked direct drive motors. Basic operation is just like on a conventional cassette deck, with the comfort of microcomputer feather-touch control keys. You simply put a cassette into the front loading compartment and press the rec and play buttons together to begin recording. The cassette door is motor driven for smooth, silent operation when you want to load or eject a cassette.
Multi-FunctioN Display
There's adigital LCD tape counter display, bright FL recording/playback level display, and indication for all functions that you might need. The FL  level display uses fluorescent display tubes to provide very accurate indication of recording level. Besides instantaneous peak indication, it also has  peak-hold which shows  you the highest signal peaks reached in each 2 -second period. T his makes it much easier to set optimum recording level. Another valuable feature is the playback data check indication which gives you a readout of playback signal quality
 Versatile Editing
Since the digital signal is recorded on the tape's video tracks, the space usually used for audio is left free. The SV-P100 uses these extra tracks for "jump" and" search" marks.  This gives you a kind of electronic editing ability that is not possible in ordinary cassette decks. Record a jump mark along a specific section of the tape and the deck will automatically bypass that section at 8 times normal speed.  Normal playback resumes after the end of the  jump mark. This is useful when you want to skip over undesired portions of a recording. Search marks let you rapidly locate specific points on the tape. The tape will advanced to the nearest search mark at 8 times normal speed and then stop. lf you press the play key with the search key, then playback will begin when the search mark is reached.
You can record as many search and jump marks as you want, using the convenient editing levers. Since these marks remain on the tape, you can take advantage of this convenience every time you listen to a recording. Of course you can also selectively erase search and jump marks (by pressing the "clear" lever) as required.
In addition to all this,you have the "locate" function which serves as a memory linked to the tape counter. But unlike on conventional cassette decks,  you don't have to set the counter to zero. This memory stores the actual tape counter number at the instant you press the locate button. The tape will then stop (or begin play)att he memorized position. You can also check the locate memory position by pressing the recall button.

Technics SV-100

 SV-100 Digital Audio processor, designed for use with a VCR, provides very high quality digital audio processing for digital audio recording and playback.  Not only is the SV-100 compact, it weighs only 2,9 kg (net) making it the world's lightest digital audio processor.
This means that the SV-100 is ideally suited for portable use, especially when combined with the matching Panasonic NV-100 VCR.  Its attractive styling also complements other high quality audio components when used in a home hi-fi system.
 Advanced Semiconductor Circuitry for Compact Size
Sophisticated original LSI and microprocessor technology contributes to this processor's surprisingly compact size and light weight. The PCM signal processing LSI (MN6601) contains about 10,000 elements in a 6,08 x 5,58 mm chip; the playback LSI (MN6602) has about 15,000 elements in a 6,46 x 6,18 mm chip; the recording/playback control LSI has about 6,000 elements in 4,48 x 3,62 mm chip.
Together, these tree LSIs are equivalent to about 320 logic Ics. Instead of the conventional separate A/D and D/A converters, a single AD/DA converter is used for conversion from analog to digital and vice versa.  This revolutionary circuitry also means more dependable performance.
 Designed for Quick Precise Control
For quick and accurate adjustment, the SV-100 has a master level control and a stereo balance control. This unusual system is actually the most practical for most purposes such as recording FM broadcasts or Compact Discs. In both cases it is easiest to adjust same time and no stereo balance adjustment is usually needed. The same goes for live recording where the left and right  channel microphones are normally matched. Furthermore, the less used controls are of the slide switch type, so there is little danger of accidental misoperation.

2-Color FL meters for Accurate Indication
In digital as in analog recording, accurate meters are essential for correct recording level setting. However, with digital audio, it is all the more important not to set recording level  too high. Therefore, the SV-100 is equipped with precision FL meters that extend all the way from -50 dB to +6 dB. Since clipping occours above 0 dB, this wide-range metering system lets you see exactly where you should set recording level to avoid distortion. Comparate this with other digital audio processors that give only an "over" indication if recording level is too high.
 Versatile Connection Facilities
The SV-100 has two complete sets of video input/output jacks, one set on the side and one on the rear panel. This lets you use the Sv-100 in a vertical or horizontal position. The matching Panasonic NV-100 VCR has similar connection facilities so that the two are ideally suited for portable use. Of course, the SV-100 can be used with virtually any home VCR (or ¾-inch U-matic type VCR).

Suplied AC power Unit with Handy Video/Audio Switch
TheS V-100i s ready to use right away since it comes with its own AC power unit for home use. This compact  unit is designed to simplify connections while supplying power to the SV-100. It also works as a battery charger for the optional battery packs available for  the SV-100 On the AC power unit's front panel is a "recording" switch that lets you use your VCR for recording TV programs or for PCM digital recording without having to change any connections
 VCR Tracking Check and Battery Check Functions
A front panel slide switch lets you change the display from recording/playback level indication to VCR tracking and battery check indication. The VCR tracking readout tells you how well the video tape recorder's heads are tracking the recorded tracks during playback. You can then adjust the VCR to obtain optimum playback quality. This is particularly important if the tape is being played back on a different VCR from that used for recording. The battery check readout tells you how full the battery is and whether it needs charging.

Technics SL-P10


 Pure music reproduction. With no audible noise or distortion. We call it the essence of nothingness. After a decade-long commitment to digital audio technology, Technics offers you one different Compact Disc player that capture this essence.

Like a live performance
Each CD player uses our unique semiconductor laser to read the billions of bits of information encoded on the Compact Disc as it is spun with incredible accuracy by our quartz-locked, direct drive motor. Powerful new Ics, LSIs and a microprocessor-controlled D/A (digtal-to-analog) conventer, all original designs by technics, process the information into music - so realistic and dynamic as to be virtually indidtinguishable from a live performance.
 A choice of CD players
Our original and still state-of-the-art. CD player, the SL-P10, offers the unequaled versatility of 63-step random acces programming for precise play of any part of the disc, in any sequence, and features the convenience of remote control, headphone jack, and Auto-Music-Scan.

We make the discs  too
A superior CD player can only be built upon a complete understanding of the Cd itself. So, we make the discs too. Only Technics produces both Cd players and CDs under one roof.
Technics - We put pure music within the reach of everyone.

 Advanced Original LSI Circuitry
The SL-P10 features true state-of-the-art. Semiconductor circuitry with 12 new original LSIs and ICS designed specifically for compact disc reproduction. The digital signal processing circuitry uses 3 LSIs for demodulation, error correction and CIRC control. Error detection and correction are based on the exclusive "technics Super Decoding Algorithm" system. The D/A conventer is perhaps the single most important device in digital audio. It must convert the 65536-step digital signal into an accurate replica of the original analog signal. Here the SL-P10 uses a newly developed that delivers extremely high performance with no more than ±0,002% nonlinear distortion. Other Ics are used for spindle motor servo control, head amp, actuator drive, auto focus, signal processing, programmed play, laser power control, and traverse motor drive.

 Precision Mechanisms with Sophisticated Microcomputer Control
In addition to the above mentioned high density LSIs and ICs, the SL-P10 employs four microcomputers for centralized random access system control, FL display drive, digital slicer, and optical pickup position control. This sophisticated circuitry supports the precision mechanisms of disc rotation and laser pickup operation.
The pickup system includes a semiconductor laser, actuator, lens, prism and photodetector in a precision integrated aluminum body of rugged construction for the highest reliability.
The actuator (lens drive mechanism for focus and tracking) features a twin parallel damper, derived from our advanced phono cartridge technology, which enables extremly smooth and accurate focusing and tracking servo performance. A 3-beam tracking servo is employed to assure the highest operational stability.

The 12 cm wide CD rotates at a tare of 500 to 200 times per minute. Therefore the turntable drive motor must be of a different type from that used for conventional phono turntables.
One important point is that the motor must be designed to prevent shaft rolling. This is achieved by employing an ultra-compact brushless DD motor newly developed based on the long experience of Technics id direct drive technology.
In the SL-P10 CD player system, this DD motor and the turntable are mounted extremely close together to assure the required rotational stability.
The pickup, its drive mechanism, and the turntable drive mechanism must all be assembled together with the highest precision. In the SL-P10 , all of these mechanisms are manufactired by us, making possible precision integrated construction of an "optical deck" in an aluminum diecst chassis. This keeps all these precision electromechanical devices in optimum alignment to bring out their full potential and that of the system as a whole.

Philips EL-7040

This 30 W loudspeaker gives uniform, undistorted sound reproduction over a frequency range of 35 to 10,000 c/s. excellent bass reproduction is obtained owing to the very flexible suspension and centring of the cone. As the air gap is longer than the moving coil, the latter always vibrates in a homogeneous field, thereby excluding sound distortion, even at lerge amplitudes of the cone.

The core of the magnetic system is lined with brass; the eddy currents generated in this brass lining damp the natural resonances of the cone and improve the transient reproduction. Moreover, owing to the brass lining, the impedance in the high-frequency range increases less than with other loudspeakers.
The heavy magnet of Ticonal steel will not be misaligned, even if subjected to violent shocks.
The frame is of die-cast aluminium.
All parts are cadmium-plated or impregnated to avoid corrosion.

SAE Mark IX

 SAE Mark Nine Preamplifier Equalizer
The SAE Mark IX offers the features and flexibility of an equalizer and a preamplifier control center. Professional-type slide pots and push-buttons are utilized instead of the conventional rotary-type controls. The Mark Nine's operational characteristics are much like those used in recording studios. The equalizers may be used to compensate for porly equalized records, modify the tonal characteristics of loudspeakers, and in some instances be used to compensate for room characteristics.
 Unique Features
