From the CJ website:

"...DR-1 Compact Disc Data Reader

The task of a compact disc transport is to recover the binary data encoded on a cd and to accurately transmit that data to a digital to analogue converter. A stable platform for the mechanism is vitally important to allow accurate reading of the data. For this reason, the DR-1 is housed in a sturdy, mass loaded chassis. The smooth, quiet operation of the DR-1 is an added benefit of this design.

To assure accurate data retrieval, precise adjustments are made to the laser intensity and focus.

Any variation in the timing of the data stream will lead to distortion in the analogue audio wave form, so the data must be transmitted at a precisely correct and unvarying rate. Deviations in this rate are called “jitter”. A sophisticated crystal controlled “re-clocking” circuit in the DR- I reduces jitter by an order of magnitude.
