This CD Player was made all in Japan and in the German traditional manufacturers, such as Dual and SABA have devices with your name and small design changes in build. It so happens that all devices of this series as well as Dual CD 120, Nordmende AD 2000, JVC XL-V1 and Hitachi DA-1000 are very similar.
But what is the same for everyone, and that is probably the special thing about this model from that time, is the unique CD charging mechanism. Every time you close the charging door, you ask yourself: will the CD manage to disappear in time in the shaft again this time? After that you can watch the vertically standing CD as it is played. Another technical feature of this device is the adjustable audio output, which is realized via a motor potentiometer, i.e. without major sound losses. This feature has to be searched for a long time with today's devices.
The CD player also plays self-burned CDs, but is very picky about it. This depends both on the burning speed and on the burner. He disdains PC-burned CDs less often than 9f6290f4436e5a2351f12e03b6433c3c-burned ones. The headphone output sounds remarkably good, also something that is unfortunately no longer found in today's devices.
