INTRODUCTION:
Congratulations on your purchase of a Gemini CDX-802 CD Player.
Your state-of-the-art professional CD Player is backed by a three year
warranty that excludes lasers, which are covered by a separate one
year warranty. Prior to use of this unit, we suggest you carefully read
the following intructions.
Your Gemini CDX-802 CD Player comes equipped with ADCS (Automatic
Disc Calibration System), a unique state-of-the-art feature. CDs are
produced by a variety of manufacturers and recorded by many different
professional companies as well as the do-it-yourselfers at home. Therefore,
all CDs do not play the same. The ADCS automatically adjusts the laser in
your CDX-802 CD Player for each individual CD you insert into the tray, to give
you the best possible performance for every CD you play regardless of how it
was manufactured or how it was recorded. With this exclusive system you
always get consistent and reliable performance as well as exceptional
sound quality every time you play a CD... any CD.
