A 6-string magazine type CD player with the new function ADLC.

You can enjoy up to cds in the magazine, you can enjoy up to 6 CDs continuously without changing disks.

It is equipped with an automatic digital level controller (ADLC) that automatically adjusts the volume even when the disc changes to make it easier to listen. The microcomputer samples digital data at any time and controls the digital attenuator in real time so that the volume can be adjusted to the appropriate level. You can listen to any disc at the appropriate volume level.

It is equipped with a highlight scan function which is an advanced version of the introscan function, and the music is played for 10 seconds from 1 minute after the start of the song so that you can check the part of the song which looks like the song.
It also has a disk highlight scan function that allows you to highlight scan the first track of each disk one after another.

The D/A converter is equipped with a high-speed pulse flow D/A converter originally developed by Pioneer. The D/A converter uses high-speed elements and operates with a high oversampling of 384 fs. This results in a smooth output, and the noise shaper can be used in the second and lower order, so that the influence of out-of-band noise on sound quality is minimized.
In addition, a low master clock that reduces the effect of jitter and a high density output with a duty of 100% are used to achieve a low distortion rate and high SN.

It is equipped with a newly developed silent multi-mechanism, adopts a monocoque structure for the chassis, improves rigidity and dimensional accuracy, and realizes smooth mechanism operation by improving the loading mechanism.

It is equipped with a memory hold which also stores magazine information such as program, delete, volume level and power supply after turning off.
