The new (.lasse
CDT-I compact disk
transport represents the
accumulatimt of our advanced

research in digital I'epmductiatt. Like
all our products. we use an overtizai
toroidal transformer, and critical
sections contain their own dedicated
power supplies which reduce fluctua-
tions caused by shared power sources.
Optimum and meticulous layout of
sensitive tin'uitry guaranties that no
stray electromagnetic fields will
inhibit the delicate processing of
Inicm-infannation. The drive mecha-
nism itself uses a newly developed.
superior laser assembly that is
remarkably quick, accurate and quiet.
All this assures a stable, unpolluted
