A magazine-type CD player that uses a 6-string magazine.

By using a magazine that can hold up to 6 CDs, you can listen to 6 CDs continuously without changing the disc, and you can select only the favorite music from 6 CDs and enjoy it.
In addition, it is equipped with an auto power-on function that automatically turns the power on just by inserting it into the magazine, further improving usability.

Equipped with various memory hold functions, memory power supply after turning off such as program, delete and level can be held.

The D/A converter uses an 8fs20-bit digital filter, enabling the use of low-order low-pass filters and realizing audio characteristics with low phase rotation and low distortion.
It also uses a real 18-bitD / A converter with both sides packaged in a single package, and uses a direct linear conversion system to improve sound quality.

In order to improve the 0 cross distortion, which greatly affects the linearity at the low level, we have adopted a digital bias system that digitally shifts the signal from the digital filter and sends it to the D/A converter.
By shifting, generation of 0 cross distortion at small signal is eliminated in principle, and minute sound is improved.

A newly developed silent multi-mechanism has been adopted to reduce operation noise when changing disks and friction noise when pulling out trays. In addition, the feeling of inserting the magazine is also smooth.

It is equipped with computer program edit and time fade edit functions which are convenient for tape editing.

It is equipped with functions such as random play across 6 discs, delete play in which you can skip songs you don't like or want to listen to, and power on start with timer start.

Equipped with a deck sync function for one touch tape editing, it can be used with Pioneer's cassette deck with CD-DECK sync mark.

It comes with a remote control that allows you to perform basic operations such as playback, music selection and programs, as well as control the volume and turn the power on/off from a remote location with the remote control.
