Nakamichi DVD Viewing Stations

DVD-K500

Maximize the Sales Potential of Video Software with this High-Quality In-Store Demonstration Tool

It's a proven fact … customers who can audition music or video software in-store … buy more!

Nakamichi, a world-renowned manufacturer of audio CD sampling systems, introduces its first sampling station specifically designed for use with the DVD video format.

The DVD-K500 enables your customers to easily select and audition up to 5 DVD discs from your stores inventory. For the first time, customers will be able to take a "self-service" approach to movie viewing, much the same way they do today with music using a CD listening station.

The DVD-K500's unique features and functions allow for easy and intuitive operation, so the user can enjoy the selected movie or music video without encountering any operational difficulties. Based on Nakamichi's unrivaled DVD player technology and exceptional audio sound reproduction, the DVD-K500 can effectively increase your DVD sales by showcasing a video's exceptional sound and image quality. However you install the DVD-K500 - from a modest setup with audio through headphones and video viewed on a small-screen, to audio playback by way of a giant "house-system" with viewing via a large-screen display, Nakamichi's DVD-K500 delivers demonstrably superior results.

Many unique features are incorporated to make Nakamichi's DVD-K500 5-Disc Sampling Changer an investment that will continue to pay you dividends for years and years to come!

Credit Visual Skip Function

It is possible to play disc directly from "chapter 1" avoiding having to view the "credit visual" (i.e.: name and logo of the movie studio).

Programmable Playback

For the ultimate in demonstration efficiency, the DVD-K500 can be programmed to play up to 30 chapters of only the most desirable scenes from the 5 loaded discs.

Easy, One-Touch Operation

Function buttons are over-sized and easy-to-use. At the touch of the button, playback immediately begins. Furthermore, the chapter now in play is indicated on a distinctive LCD readout display.

Audio Output Flexibility

Two headphone outputs are provided to allow simultaneous listening by two customers. Also provided are two channels of RCA-type line outputs for connection to an external power amplifier. A coaxial digital output connector facilitates DVD-K500's use with the Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM formats.

Note: A surround decoder and amplifier are required to achieve 5.1 channel reproduction.

Versatile Video Capabilities

In addition to a composite video output connecter, the DVD-K500 is equipped with S-video and component video (Y/CR/CB) outputs that deliver the highest quality picture image.

Space-Efficient Design for Easy Installation

The DVD-K500 includes a specially designed desktop stand. It can also be wall-mounted by using the supplied brackets. Combined with a thin LCD or plasma video display, the DVD-K500 makes the most efficient use of your valuable display space.

Safety Lock Function

Discs can be secured within the DVD-K500's transport mechanism to prevent tampering or theft. A special "mechanical key" is unlocked before pressing the "eject / stop" button, preventing the removal of discs by unauthorized individuals.

Auto Power-Off

The units' power is turned off after remaining idle for 5 minutes, protecting the mechanism from unnecessary wear while conserving energy. This mode may be disengaged to allow for continuous operation.

Play Counter Memory

A counter keeps track of the number of times a disc has been played, giving you valuable insight into customer preferences.

Wireless Remote Control

A full-function remote control provides operation of the DVD-K500 from a distance.

Accessories

Supplied accessories include a desktop stand, wall-mount kit and headphone hanger.

Features

Fast, Dependable Changer Performance

Count on fast, dependable changer performance. The ultra-reliable high-speed mechanism is based on Nakamichi's world-renowned MusicBank™ technology. It provides numerous benefits, including fast changes without annoying delays.

Even better, repeated disc changes will not damage the disc, since Nakamichi's changer mechanism does not make contact with the recorded surface of the CD. In fact, this mechanism has already been proven in hundreds of thousands of CD-ROM drives produced for the computer industry.

Programmable First Track

Hit songs are what sell the CD's. You can program which track plays first for each disc in the changer creating instant artist recognition. It's a great way to tie in with special promotions and advertising campaigns.

Informative Play Counter

The information is retained for up to a month without external power. This programmable feature makes the entire listening station a very valuable marketing tool.
