The "Digital Audio Compact Disc Yearbook 1986" shows a new player
from Sony called the CDP-7F (not to be confused with the CDP-70). I
have found no store in the Boston area that has even heard of it yet.
At first glance, it looks like a black-finish version of the Sony
D-5 portable, but it is actually about half the size of a CDP-302.
It is a top-loading player, and its front panel is clearly derived from
the CDP-302 design. It has analog output filtering with no oversampling.
The frequency response is the same as the CDP-302, and the other specs
are within 5 or 6 dB. Maximum search time is 4 seconds intead of 1.
It has a variable-output headphone jack and programmability for 16 tracks.
It does not support indexing, but includes a remote control. List price
is $299.95.
I already have a CDP-302, but am looking for a player as a gift for
someone else. If anyone gets more information on the CDP-7F or actually
sees one in a store, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
