I have an NEC CD-650E or something close to that. Why are there
a number of **650.** from diferent manufactures? What is the
significance of the number 650?

I think it's just a coincidence. Most manufacturers like to chose
"round" numbers with at least one zero in them for model numbers.
Magnavox seems to buck this trend most often. The first significant
digit (which may not always be the first digit) almost always
represents the relative position in the model lineup. 6 is a good
choice for something fairly high, but leaving room for improvement.

I have no data to back up my assumption, but since the players in
question are all based upon the Phillips unit, and Magnavox was
the marketing arm of North American Phillips, I assumed that the
numerical sequence in the model numbers was based upon Phillips
designation for the basic drive.

I would find it hard to believe that the NEC player has a Philips
transport.
