<b>CD-R/RW Disc Compatibility</b>
This CD changer can handle CD-R and CD-RW discs with ordinary songs. (Note that some discs may not play.)

<b>40-Track Random Access Programmable Play and Clear</b>
It's extremely easy to program the tracks you want to hear in any order. You can clear the programme at any time with a single touch.

<b>RS-232C Interface</b>
An RS-232C interface is provided so this player can be controlled via computer in a custom installation.

<b>Peak Search</b>
Gives you better sounding recording by searching the disc for the loudness part and playing it for a few seconds so you can set the proper recording level.

<b>CD-Tape Synchro Rec Start</b>
You'll have smooth recording starts each time, because Synchro Rec Start puts the deck into the recording mode a few seconds before starting CD play.

<b>Disc (Intro) Scan</b>
Automatically plays the first 8 seconds of each disc so you can decide which to listen to first.

<b>3-Mode CD Text Display</b>
Get information about the CD currently playing right on the CD player's display. The 3- mode CD Text display shows the CD's title, the artist's name and the title of the track.

<b>Random Play (Single/All) with Disc-to-Disc Random Play</b>
Use Random Play to mix selections from various discs or to hear old CDs in the new way.

<b>Repeat Play (Disc Mode: Single/All; Repeat Mode: Single/Full)</b>
To hear your favorite songs again or just for back ground music, this versatile changer gives you a variety of options.

<b>Music/Skip/Index Search</b>
Music and Skip Search lets you find songs quickly, while Index Search moves the pickup to the index marks encoded on some discs.

<b>Disc Stabilizer</b>
Yamaha's new Mechanism uses a both belt and gear drive to ensure smooth disc rotation and plastic rollers under the tray to allow it to move more smoothly. The disc being played is isolated from vibration on a separate tray, and held in place by a disc stabilizer. The entire disc changing system thus helps to maximize sound quality.

<b>Laser Pickup Floating Mechanism</b>
The laser pickup is isolated on a floating mechanism so its delicate operation cannot be affected by vibration.

<b>Intelligent Digital Servo System</b>
Conventional tracking servo circuitry cannot completely overcome errors caused by disc defects, warpage, dust and so on. This system uses a microcomputer to monitor the signal, adjusting pickup tracking and focus, as well as spindle motor speed, to compensate for any problems.

<b>High Performance Parts and Circuitry Used Throughout</b>
Because every single part affects sound quality, Yamaha uses nothing but the best. The special Low-Impedance Power Supply, for example, uses extra thick wires to ensure that power is absolutely stable even under low-impedance conditions.
