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.
