A two-spread leaflet covering a single model - the TEAC PD-11 Compact Disc Player, published May 1984 as CD players were just beginning to appear in Japanese homes. The inner spread covers three technology blocks: Super Accurate servo for precise tracking, a digital filter with 16-bit D/A converter, and an AlGaAs semiconductor laser pickup with automatic disc loading. TEAC’s cover line reads: “A CD player worthy of music has finally arrived.” The back page puts it plainly: “What is the purity of music, what is the emotion of digital sound - TEAC’s answer: PD-11.”
