A
Breathtaking Advance In Digital Audio Entertainment
A
masterpiece of advanced digital audio design, the Sharp DX-500H Cd Audio
player. Remarkable music precision and stunning operational sophistication are
combined in one streamlined unit. A DC servo amplifier is used for the analogue
part of the audio system and an aluminium die cast chassis is used for the
mechanism to ensure high quality sound and stable playback. In addition to the
improvements in audio quality and operational ease. Sharp has succeeded in
bringing you the ultimate music playback freedom – a comprehensive array of
programming and search capabilities. The DX-500H, the second digital marvel
from Sharp, leads the new age of audio.
Boasting
a range of innovative audio features, the DX-500H delivers pure noise-free
music never achieved with ordinary analogue players.
Error-correction
system: The system compensates for dropout signals caused by disc defect or
scratches, replacing digital signals to ensure optimum playback performance.
DC servo
amplifier: Digital sound quality depends on analogue system of the player. The
DC servo amplifier in the analogue system ensures flat frequency response,
improved S/N ratio and remarkable low distortion.
Aluminium
die cast chassis: Strong die-cast horizontal chassis eliminates mechanical
vibration to maintain high sound quality.
Focusing
servo system: The system balances disc-lens distance, to keep laser beam
focused precisely on the disc surface.
Tracking
servo system: Sharp's laser system is designed along innovative lines to give
extra-precise tracking performance. Minutely-designed servo circuits ensure
constant, accurate positioning of the laser while aluminium die-cast frame
reduces mechanical vibration for optimum disc reading.
3-way
serach system and programmable operations
Create
your own music format: AMPS (Automatic Programmable Music Selector) lets you
randomly select 15 of your choices from the disc’s 20 selections and program
them in any order you like. Locate the music you want quickly and easily with
APLD (Auto Program Locate Device) while APSS (Auto Program Search System) skips
forward to locate the beginning of the current selection. You can enjoy
immediate repeat play of an individual song or the entire disc with convenient
repeat function.
Combined
with APMS, this function allows you to listen to an entire programmed selection
of music over again.
The
combination of Sharp's DX-500H CD player and PCM Technology enables live
performance digital-age music never before achieved with ordinary analogue
equipment. Dynamic range of 97 dB, wow and flutter too low to be measured,
channel separation of 97 dB. It's all yours with the Sharp DX-500H.
The
pick-up of the player requires pinpoint precision to read each tiny signal
accurately. The DX-500H equipped with advanced, high-performance semiconductor
laser diode technology features a state-fo-the-art laser pick-up system.
Time
counter with 4-digit LED display: Times disc playback and gives you constantly
changing disc playback time information with an easy-to-read 4-digit LED
display. Synchronized with fast forward and rewind operations, the counter
enables you to lackate any part of the disc swiftly and accurately.
20 LED
indicators: Accurate disc information including the number of selections,
programmed pieces and selection currently playing is available from these
indicators.
Drawer-type
front-loading disc table: With a touch of a button on the front panel, the disc
table slides out. Just place the disc on the disc table and press the same
button again and it slides in for playback. Operation is simple and accurate.
Headphone
socket: For sophisticated private listening. With headphones connected the
DX-500H provides the excitement of digital audio without disturbing anyone
else.
