We're making a big deal out of practically nothing...

The most difficult job for a compact disc player is to reproduce low amplitude signals.

Fortunately, Yamaha has created a remarkable CD player that rises to the occasion.

The CDX 1120 reproduces those low-amplitude signals that until now, have been distorted or lost in the noise generated by the digital-to-analog conversion process in most CD players.

Allowing you to distinguish the subtle variations between, say, both an oboe and clarinet softly playing middle C. As well as enjoy improved ambiance, revealing the acoustic characteristics where the performance took place.

And superior imaging, clarifying the placement of each instrument in an orchestra.

All worthy reasons to take a good, soft listen to our remarkable new CDX 1120. Only then, can you truly appreciate Yamaha's Super Hi-Bit Technology.

Yamaha's exclusive Super Hi-Bit System utilizes the additional information generated by our 20-bit digital filter to more accurately reproduce the low amplitude signals coming from the disc.

To achieve this superior sound definition, Yamaha uses four 18-bit D/A converters, each with an exclusive 4-bit Floating System to boost linearity to 22-bits.

Delivering four times greater resolution of low amplitude signals than even fixed 20-bit D/A converter systems.

What's more, Yamaha's exclusive Super Hi-Bit DAC Direct Output provides phase accuracy so close to the original recording, it's unprecedented in the industry The CDX 1120 also features Digital De-Emphasis and Digital Volume Control to give the best possible signal output uncompromised by analog components.


-- A full-function remote lets you control everything. With 24-track random access programming, 5-way repeat play and more.

To fully appreciate the phenomenal CDX 1120, pay a visit to your local Yamaha dealer.

Once you hear it for yourself, the advantages will come across loud--and soft--and clear.
