Contents4Thank you for choosing TEAC. Read this manual carefully to getthe best performance from this unit.FeaturesVRDS mechanism (employing a aluminumtapered turntable and turntable bridge)The VDRS assembly, though secure clamping to a turntable ofthe same diameter as the disc being played, totally removesunnecessary vibration; either from mechanical sources, orfrom the typical vibration of a disc. Rigidity is also achievedthrough the use of a turntable bridge composed of precision-processed carbon tool steel. The shape of the turntable alsohelps to correct any warp in the disc. Because of the precisealignment of the optical axis produced by this arrangement,the servo current is reduced. All of the above factors decreasethe disc read error rate, and help to prevent timing errors fromthe clock circuit.Word SyncThe P-70 can achieve word synchronization by accepting amaster clock from any suitably-equipped D/A converter. Withthe converter acting as the master clock, any jitter resultingfrom data transfer between the player and the converter isessentially eliminated.Twin-transformer structure, with the powersupply completely separated from themechanical and digital signal systemsTo eliminate mutual interference, the important keycomponents of the player: power supply, mechanism control,and digital system (word sync, frequency multiplier, and clock)have been separated completely in the design. There are twosplit-core transformers in the power supply for additionalinterference rejection.7 digital outputs, including 4 digital outputsfrom the converter multiplier (2xFs, 4xFs)The player has four (XLR x 2, RCA x 1, TOS x 1) digital outputterminals to handle the high-speed multiplied digital outputs(2xFs:24 bits at 88.2kHz, 4xFs: 24 bits at 176.4kHz), in addition to3 “standard” digital output terminals (RCA x 1, TOS x 2)44.1kHz.Following the dual AES specification, 4xFs (24bits at 176.4kHz)audio is output from twin XLR terminalsThe operational algorithm employed in the converter multipliercircuit is the RDOT method; exclusive to TEAC Corporation.High rigidity chassis and triangular pinpointfeetBased on 8 mm thick sheet steel, with the VRDS mechanismattached directly, and employing H-type 20 mm thick extrudedaluminum. The front panel and the sides employ a constructionmethod in which the 1.6 mm thick sheets are first plated withcopper, and then with nickel. This two-layer design succeedsin totally removing internal interference, and helps to optimizethe sonic performance.With the triangular pinpoint feet composed of case-hardenedtool steel, vibration is almost completely eliminated.Important Safety Instructions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2Contents . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4Features . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4Before Use. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5Discs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6Rear Panel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7Connection . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8Names of Each Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10How to use the remote control unit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12Settings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13Basic operation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14Index searching . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16Playing back one track (single playback) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16Repeat Playback . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17Programmed Playback . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18Delete Programmed Playback . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20Display type. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21How to turn off the display . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21Auto Space . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21Timer playback . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21VRDS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22Troubleshooting . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23Specifications . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23
