Transport-
The VRDS mechanism securely clamps the disc to the turntable whose diameter is exactly the same
as that of the disc. This system completely eliminates vibration inherent to removable media and
unwanted vibrations generated by the mechanical systems. Also, this mechanism clamps the disc at
a slight inclination so as to compensate for warping or deformation improving the accuracy of the
optical axes of both the laser pickup and the pit surface of the disc. This is effective in reducing
errors in reading the disc data as well as in preventing timing errors from erratic data acquisition
timing.
To achieve the high-speed rotation with superior stability that is required of a Super Audio CD
player, the P-03 is equipped with a duralumin turntable. A specially developed processing
technology was used to enable high-precision forming of this lightweight material normally used in
building aircraft.
