Description:

The Pioneer NS-33 executive microsystem offers a vertically oriented CD player with a see-through motorized sliding door, a digital AM/FM stereo tuner, and two slim-profile speakers (20 wpc) with a 30-watt subwoofer. Designed for rooms with minimal space, the complete system can rest on a desk or be wall-mounted.

A digital AM/FM stereo tuner processes FM and AM radio broadcasts digitally, locking in on the signal for less drift and reduced distortion. It also stores station frequencies in convenient presets, while a fluorescent display with dimmer lets you customize the display brightness.

The NS-33's CD player accepts and plays 3-inch as well as 5-inch CDs, and multiple repeat modes allow you to repeat a track, a program of tracks, or an entire disc, all at the touch of a few buttons. Random play shuffles and randomly plays every track in complete random order without repeating a single track, until all selections have played.

Bass and treble controls allow you to adjust the frequencies of the music to your own listening tastes, and 8x oversampling combines excellent phase linearity with superb suppression of digital noise, resulting in better and more natural sound and imaging. Dual, 1-bit digital-to-analog converters provide single bit digital-to-analog conversion, significantly improving small signal linearity to provide pure reproduction of the original sound recorded on a compact disc. Dual D/A converters provide redundancy when translating the digital information to an analog signal, reducing errors.

An auxiliary audio input lets you listen to the sound from another product, such as a TV, CD player, or MP3 device, and an optical (TOS-link) digital output is used to send a pure digital signal to the digital input on another product, such as a Dolby Digital receiver or MD recorder.

Other convenience features of the NS-33 are a sleep timer that automatically turns off the power after a preset time period, a play timer that lets you set the timer to start playing a preselected source at a given time, and a full-function remote control that provides complete control of the unit from the comfort and convenience of your chair.
