Sony CDP XE500 CD player

Meet the Sony CD player that has an Optical Digital Output that gives you a pure, digital-to-digital connection to an MD Recorder or DAT Recorder. You'll also find that the Direct Digital Sync and Digital Servo Control both work to minimize "jitter" while focusing the laser for much higher precision. The result is cleaner sound and lower radiated noise from your CD collection. Your ears will thank you for this one. CD Player accepts and plays both 5" CDs as well as 3" CDs. Use the full-function remote to select a track directly with the numeric keypad. Optical Digital Output offers pure, digital-to-digital connection to an MD recorder or DAT recorder. Jog Dial rotates through tracks or through discs. Models with Custom File text entry also use the jog dial to rotate through the alphabet when storing disc, track, and Group File names. Music Calendar indicates tracks programmed, played, and remaining. Digital Servo Control maintains stable tracking, laser focus, and disc rotation - all with higher precision and lower radiated noise than non-servo units. Play Modes include Continuous 1/All, Shuffle 1/All, or Program for your custom-selected sequence. Hybrid Pulse D/A Converter places the converter and the digital filter on the same integrated circuit, reducing signal leads and minimizing interference and distortion, resulting in better sound. 1-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converter significantly improves small signal linearity to provide pure reproduction of the original sound recorded on a compact disc. 8x oversampling combines excellent phase linearity with superb suppression of digital noise, resulting in better and more natural sound and imaging. 24 Track Programmable Memory allows custom playback of only the tracks on a disc you want to hear, in the order you want to hear them. Random Play shuffles and randomly plays every track in complete random order without repeating a single track, until all selections have played. Plug in a set of headphones for private listening, and enjoy rich full sound without disturbing others.
