[net.audio] Radio Shack CD Player

bhs@siemens.UUCP (Bernard Schwab) (08/28/84)

Radio Shack, everybodies favorit stereo store, has included a CD player
in it's latest catalogue. It is priced at $400.

My question is:

Who makes it for them?

Thank you for any answers.

Does anyone know who makes the Radio Shack CD Player that is on sale for
$250 this month?  Is it Yamaha?

No, it is made by Hitachi.  It is identical to one of their earlier
models. (I forget the model number)

On close inspection it appears that it might be a Hitachi or Toshiba, but I
am just guessing.  We can start a whole discussion just about who make who's
CD player.

For instance, can anybody identify the *real* manufacturer of the following
players?  I realize that some may be rather well know, but see if you can
list the differences (if there are any) from the base model along with the
manufacturer.

Who make:

Radio Shack      (From above question)

Video Concepts   (Video store chain that slapped their logo on a CD player)

General Electric (Has anybody else seen this one, it's cheap - $229.)

Misson           (Who make the base unit?)

Meridian	 (Who make the base unit?)

Magnavox	 (This one's easy)

Sylvania         (Just as easy)

Siemens		 (The company that I work for put out a CD player in
		  Europe, it's no longer made. Any guesses?)

Can someone think of any others that fall into this catagory?

The others on the list will be easy, but the Siemens by Sanyo won't
be as familiar to many people in this country.  Another example, not
on the list, is the NAD player which is actually made by Toshiba.

Made by Hitachi, so I'm told.
