Realistic Compact Disc Digital Audio Player CD-1000, 42-5000

NEW FOR '85

Realistic CD-1000. Let Radio Shack introduce you to a remarkable new type of disc player with sound so astoundingly pure that you must hear it to believe it. Compact digital audio discs, also called CDs, play without "pops" or surface noise. There is no audible distortion. No rumble. No acoustic feedback. Dynamic range is nearly as wide as that of a live performance. And wow and flutter are virtually non-existent! The Realistic CD player reads the digital information on the discs with a beam of laser light and a sophisticated electronic eye. Because there's no stylus, there's no wear, so the life of a compact disc is practically forever. But that's only the beginning. The player's built-in computer gives you rapid access to any point on the disc and many easy-to-use programming options. Just place a CD in the drawer and press the open/close button for totally automatic play. Or use the soft-touch buttons to program up to 15 selections you want to hear, in any sequence you desire. Auto-search feature takes you to the beginning of the next selection or restarts the selection that's playing. A fluorescent display shows you exactly where the laser beam is by indicating track number, index number, minutes and seconds left to play, and mode. Pushbuttons for fast-forward and fast-reverse, stop/clear and pause. Works with any stereo system that has aux or tape-in jacks. Come in and discover the ultimate in stereo! 42-5000 ........... $399.95 USD.
