The Philosophy behind DENON’s Turntable Designs To function as an essential part ofa true high fidelity reproduction system, a turntable must maintain sufficiently stable rotational pertormance in spite of load changes taking place during the course o pla. To accomplish this, DENON's turntables use as the drive motor, the core of the rotation system, a highly sophisticated AC servo motor or a linear drive motor. These motors are virtually free from “cogging” and thus deliver a high signal- to-noise ratio in addition to the highly precise rotation Recent developments in recording technology, namely those in direct cutting and pressing, have made the appearance of high quality recording widespread. DENON, after thoroughly researching the problem of tracing performance, has de- veloped the electronic dynamic servo tracer tonearm design. Working together with an extremely stiff and light straight tonearm, dramatic improvements in sound quality have been achieved. “Non-resonance” concept can be found throughout the DP Series such as turntable mats, insulator feet and other anti- vibration considerations. DENON's Magnetic Record Detection System DENON’s magnetic recording system employs a magnetic head to detect 1,000 pulse signals precisely recorded on the inside rim of the turntable platter. It is at this point that changes in the rotational speed of the turntable are the most accurately deter- mined. This differs from conventional FG servo systems which ‘employ, for detection, a frequency generator (FG) connected directly to a motor. Its accuracy is more than 10 times higher than that of other systems, accounting for its excellent respon- siveness and speed. Coupled with DENON's quartz lock (PLL), the highest leve! of rotational accuracy is achieved. - “| Fully-Automatic Tonearm with Purely Electronic Control DENON firmly believes that fully-automatic operation should offer increased ease-of-use without sacrificing intrinsic perfor- mance. Strictly adhering to the principle of non-contact design, DENON engineers developed a fully-automatic electronically Controlled tonearm. The main part of this arm is controlled by an angular control motor. Dynamic Servo Tracer Generally speaking, the occurrence of low frequency resonance in tonearm assemblies is inevitable. The point of this resonance is usually determined, in conventional systems, as a function of both the compliance of the cartridge and the effective mass of the tonearm. Intermodulation dis- tortion, crosstalk, and other deteriora tion in sound quality, due to low frequen: cy resonance, are minimized by the adoption of Dynamic Servo Tracer Tonearm, an electronic tonearm damping in both the horizontal and verti- calplanes, _) Thus the advantages of lightweight tonearm for improved tracing performance and dramatic decrease in intermodulation distor- tion, resulting in sharp, clear sound reproduction have been ex- plotted.
