207.0. "NIKKO NCD-100" by SPKALI::JIM () Mon Nov 11 1985 07:39

DOES ANYONE OWN THE NIKKO NCD-100 COMPACT DISK  PLAYER?    I WAS IN A 
STEREO STORE IN HARTFORD, YESTERDAY AND NOTICED THAT NIKKO JUST DROP-
PED THE PRICE OF THIS DECK TO $300.  IT'S AN IMPRESSIVE PLAYER UTILI-
ZING MOST OF THE FEATURES THAT ANYONE WOULD WANT SUCH AS  TIMER-PLAY, 
BLOCK MEMORY  ALLOWING  SEARCH  OF  ANY INDEX NUMBER WITHIN ANY TRACK 
AND TO PROGRAM START AND STOP.  THE DISPLAY SHOWS TRACK NUMBER, INDEX 
NUMBER, ELAPSED TIME,  TIME REMAINING AND TOTAL TIME.   ALSO INCLUDED 
IS A VARIABLE HEADPHONE JACK AND HIGH SPEED SEARCH WITH PAUSE FEATURE 
AND A  9 SELECTION  MEMORY.   IT  COMES OPTIONALLY RACK MOUNTABLE.  I 
HAVE NOW NARROWED MY SELECTION TO THIS PLAYER OR THE YAMAHAH CD-X2.

ONE THING THAT I HAVE NOTICED ABOUT NIKKO IS THAT THEY DO NOT GET INTO 
VERY MUCH DETAIL  ABOUT  PUBLISHING SPECIFICATIONS.  I DON'T KNOW WHAT 
THE SAMPLING RATE IS OR WHAT TYPE OF FILTERING THEIR PALYERS INCORPOR-
ATE.

ANY COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED.
