LISTENING TO THIS ON ANOTHER CD PLAYER COULD BE THE REALTRAGEDY

Technics SL-P999-with 20-bit, 4 DAC, 8 times oversampling.

When you listen to Madame Butterfly on our new CD player, you'll not only be listening to a great tragedy. You could be avoiding one.

The Technics SL-P999 has a 20-bit digital processing system that can help reproduce sound with greater accuracy than most conventional systems. And if that's not enough, with 4 DAC's and 8x oversampling it all but eliminates things like crossover distortion. All of which helps reproduce sound so beautifully, you would need a front row ticket to get any closer to the music.

Of course, our new CD player has features like an optical digital output, 32-key random access programming and a special interactive editing system. But as impressive as all this sounds on paper, it's not nearly as impressive as it sounds in person. Just ask the Technics dealer in your area to play an aria from Madame Butterfly.

If you really enjoy a great tragedy, come fully prepared. Bring plenty of tissues.
