    * a machined, heavy, solid transport tray to reduce resonance and vibration amplitude.
    * high mass design to improve suspension characteristics, providing isolation from the chassis and other components.
    * low infra red reflective coatings around the CD to reduce eye pattern interference and noise.
    * an extremely low inertia and low resonance CD clamp.
    * a Philips Pro CD mechanism with a die-cast chassis.
