FEATURES Future technologies come to your home Th 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 ordinary wear on prints or is converted into the reproduced signal. Unlike an phonograph record , there is no abrasion and no the disc or the pickup. Even if there are finger 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. 1 mm under the disc surface. In other words, the recorded signal surface is not exposed, so video disc handling is easy and requires no special care . High fidelity stereo sound Besides the video signal, audio is rec·orded on two sep~Hate channels as FM signals. Therefore, stereo or bilingual re 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, it 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 a maximum of 54,000 "tracks" in a con tinuous spiral pattern. On the CAV (standard play) disc, the signal for one video picture frame is recorded on one track quality of the laser disc. covering one full revolution. Beginning at the inside circum ference, each frame is recorded along with its frame num ber. Thanks to microcomputer control, a single frame can be played repeatedly to provide a still picture, each frame can be played several times for slow motion, and tracks can be skipped for fast-forward or reverse reproduction. There is also a "super action" feature so called frame number random access that will find a specific frame automatically by frame number within 15 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. Both standard play (CAV) and extended play (CLV) laser disc can be played, and VP-l000 automatically detects these laser discs and play accordingly. With the optional RU-1000 remote control unit virtually all operations can be controlled from a distance via infrared light. Remote control using a connection wire is also pos production is also possible. Audio frequency response is 40Hz - 20 kHz, signal-to-noise ratio is 55dB or more, and total harmonic distortion is 0 .3% or less, making this high fidelity ·stereo source comparable with conventional phonograph records or FM broadcasts. Although connection to an ordinary television set is all that is required for normal video and audio reproduction , we re commend that a hi-fi stereo system, one from Pioneer, for example, is used to take full advantage of the hi-fi sound 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 Infrared wireless remote control is possible. sible. Adaptable to PCM digital audio disc reproduction. VP-1000 is equipped with special output jacks for provision for a PCM adaptor to decode the signal from soon-to-be available PCM (pulse code modulation) digital audio discs. 3 aT REAR PANEL FACILITIES ® Fi g. 1 Rear panel facilities Q) VHF CHANNEL SELECTOR ® The VHF output channel selector is located inside the open ing.

Likewise, each time you press the left end of the key, the image will go backwards to the preceding frame. Fig. 15 FRAME NUMBER DISPLAY 1 12000 Each frame on a standard play laser disc (CAV) is recorded along with its frame number, beginning with "1" for the first frame on the innermost track and advancing in numerical order with each succeeding frame. Frame numbers of frames being played will be displayed in the upper left hand part of the TV screen when you press the FRAME key. Press the FRAME key again to erase the frame number from the screen. Frame numbers are not displayed for extended play (CLV) laser discs. Instead, the time elapsed since the beginning of -- Fig. 16(a) the program is displayed digitally: The first one digits show hours, and the second two digits show minutes . o PICTURE STOP Even though this would be a rare case, there is a function called picture stop which freeze the frame by a specially re corded code in the laser disc. The freeze frame occurs when the player is in either normal play or slow motion with frame number displayed. Even though a picture stop coded laser disc is played, the picture stop will not be implemented if the frame number is Fig. 16(b) not displayed. CHAPTER NUMBER DISPLAY Laser discs containing more than one program are often recorded with convenient chapter number for each program segment (in addition to the frame numbers or the elapsed time) . This chapter number will be displayed as a one or two digit number in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen, as shown in fig. 17, when you press the CHAPTER key. Press the CHAPTER key again to erase the number. Both chapter numbers and frame numbers can be displayed on the screen together. 10 NOTE: Some laser discs are not recorded with chapter numbers, there fore no chapter number can be displayed and the chapter stop and chapter search functions described below are not possible. 12 Fig . 17 01 OPERATION CHAPTER STOP Laser discs which have more than one program on a side, it is convenient to be able to skip from the middle of one pro gram to the beginning of the next program.

MAINTENANCE Cleaning the player off dust and dirt. • Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe off dust and dirt ac cumulated on VP-1000. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent to remove heavy dirt. • Never use paint-thinner, benzene, or other solvents. They react with the surface and cause color changes and melting . Laser disc Care • Laser discs are made of hard plastic . Use a commercial phonograph record cleaner or soft cloth to lightly wipe • Finger prints and dust on the laser disc do not affect the recorded signal. However, excessive dirt may interfere with reproduced picture quality, so it is a good idea to keep the laser discs clean . • Therefore, it is best to handle laser discs by the outer edges and center hole only, just as you would do with ordinary phonograph records. • Always replace discs in their jackets afte r use. To pre vent warping, keep discs away from high temperature and humidity. SPECIFICATIONS Functions General System and disc spec. . . . Comply with MCA *1 Maximum playing time .. ... . ...
