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.

Onkyo DX-7500 cd player

Onkyo DX-7500 is a fully featured Compact Disc player. It features dual 18-bit D/A converters with eight-times oversampling at 352,8 kHz. The player also makes extensive use of optical signal transmission and isolation techniques.

Onkyo's Opto-Drive system is claimed to completely eliminate any electromagnetic interference from the outputs of D/A converters by using phototransitors instead of diodes to regulate the power-supply voltage to the converts. Optical coupling between the digital and analog circuitry of the DX-7500 eliminates the possibility that digital signals could leak into the analog sections and degrade the output quality. The analog audio outputs are supplemented by two digital outputs - electrical and optical - for use with an external D/A converter.

In addition to its internal sophistication , the DX-7500 offers almost every feature one could hope to find in a CD player. Besides the usual operating functions, including repeat of a track, disc, or any selected portion , it has a Time Editing feature that determines how many tracks can be accommodated on each side of a tape cassette.

The memory system can be programmed to play up to twenty tracks of a CD in any order, and a Memory Edit feature allows the program to be modified at any time. The player haas a shuffle-play mode, in which all the tracks on a disc are played back in a random order. It also provided direct keypad access to any numbered track.
