FEATURES

The DA-BOO is a compact disc player incorporating a

semiconductor laser pickup for playing compact discs

with high-density digitalized sound signals. It gives
superior sound quality and operation when compared to
the conventional analog systems.

I Contactless Signal Detection by
Semiconductor Laser Pick-up

By means of a semiconductor laser pickup, the digital

signals are read without contacting the disc. As a result,

there is no friction or wear to the pickup or disc.

I High Performance Sound Reproduction

Many Hitachi original semiconductors, including signal

processing MOS-LSI, microcomputer, etc, have been

developed for use in this unit.

0 SN Ratio of 95 dB
This signal-to-noise ratio has been improved about
30 times over that of analog systems. There is no
scratch noise and tape hiss.

0 Dynamic Range of 95 dB
The playback range from pianissimo (ppl to for-
tissimo (ffl is broad, with the ability to playback
dynamic sounds with depth.

0 Distortion Ratio of 0.003%

0 Wow and Flutter of less than 0.001%

This is below the range of measurable values.
Naturally this far exceeds the limits detectable by
