is system uses a

laser

beam to detect the signal record

ed on the

laser

disc.

There is

no physical contact between

the pickup system and the disc itself since the

laser

beam is

focused on the signal patterns and the variation of the

light

reflected is converted into the reproduced signal. Unlike an

ordinary

phonograph

record

there is no

abrasion

and no

wear on

the disc or the

pickup.

Even if there are finger

prints or

dust on the laser

disc surface, this

will not usually

interfere with reproduction of picture or audio because the

laser beam is focused about

1 mm under the disc surface.

quality of the

laser

disc.

Both standard play (CAV) and extended play

(CLV) laser disc can be played, and VP-l000

automatically detects these laser discs and

play accordingly.

The

standard play disc, also known as the CAV or constant

angular velocity disc

spins at the same, constant speed of

1,800

rpm from

the inner

circumference to

the

outer cir

cumference and provides a maximum of 30 minutes playing

time per side.

On the CAV

disc,

one video picture frame is recorded for

each revolution, so a number of additional performance

features are possible.

Although the

extended play disc, also known as the CLV or

constant

linear

velocity disc

does not offer such additional

features,

does have a

maximum

playing time of one hour

per side since the rotational speed continuously varies from

1,800 rpm at the inner circumference

to 600

rpm at the

outer

circumference.

Built-in computer control provides multiple

performance features and easy operation.

From

the inner to the outer circumference, the

Pioneer

laser

disc

has

maximum

"tracks" in a con

each

each

several times for slow

and tracks can

be skipped for fast-forward or reverse reproduction.

There

is also a "super action" feature so called frame number

seconds, and you can play slow

motion, fast action, and etc. from that point. Such complex

operations are remarkably easy, as will be apparent when

you operate VP-1000 laser disc player.

Infrared wireless remote control is possible.

With

unit virtually all

operations can be controlled from a

sible.
