Reviews[edit]
- These CD players were all made in Japan at the time. The special thing about this model from that time, is the unique CD loading mechanism. Every time you close the loading door, you ask yourself: will the CD manage to disappear into the slot in time again this time? Afterwards, you can watch the vertically positioned CD being played. Another technical feature of this unit is the adjustable audio output, which is realised via a motorised potentiometer, i.e. without any major loss of sound. This feature has to be searched for a long time in today's devices.
- The CD player also plays self-burned CDs, but is very picky. This depends on the burning speed as well as on the burner. PC burned CDs are spurned less often than Apple burned CDs. The headphone output sounds remarkably good, something that is unfortunately no longer found in today's devices.
