1397.0. "D-2 for $149?" by LESLIE::LESLIE (Andy ��� Leslie, RWJO) Mon Nov 21 1988 08:55

    I'm told that the Sony D-2 is on sale for $149 in the Lechemere in the
    Pheasant Lane Mall.
    
    If this is true, could some kind person enquire whether this will still
    be the price on 9th December?
    
    Thanks

1397.2LESLIE::LESLIEFive years! What a surprise!Wed Nov 23 1988 15:264
    A contact managed to get a D4 for $159.60, as the shop concerned (not
    Lechemere's but nearby) had run out of D2's.
    
    Thanks Jack!

The new Highland Super Store, which opened today in Nashua in the new mall
next to the Greenridge Turkey Farm, sells the D2 for $168 and the salesman
gave a 5% discount bringing to $159.60.  The computer showed it in stock.
I waited around for about 45 minutes while they couldn't find one and finally
an assistant manager substituted a D4 for no additional money.  I figured they
just would have refunded the money.  

I was fairly impressed with the place.  They carry a large variety of 
merchandise.  I only looked carefully at the audio section.  They carried
a wide variety of stuff, but I didn't notice any high end products.  There
were a lot of different TVs and VCRs but I didn't take a close look.  The
service was excellent.  There were more salespeople than customers.  The
salespeople must work on comission.  They were very anxious to help.

They offer a 30 day return policy, 60 days for XMAS gifts.  They also offer
30 day price protection and will meet any published sales prices from area
competitors.
1397.4....and excellent it is, too. LESLIE::LESLIEAndy ��� Leslie, MIG/WACE/VMS CSSEMon Nov 28 1988 08:211
D-4 seems to be bloody good for the office, especially as it sells for $390 here!
1397.5>>>> BEST is the BEST <<<<<LADSMT::RAJEEMon Nov 28 1988 10:075
BEST advertised SONY D2 for $139.99 here in Los angeles. I bought mine
from FEDERATED for $146.00. I thought that was a good deal but best 
deal is the BEST.

    Can someone describe the D-2's basic features, like does it come
    with an AC adapter, does it have a built-in rechargeable battery?
    What kinds of programability are available? What is the difference
    between the D-2 and the D-4 (or even the D-3)? Thanks!

1397.7<<< D2..yes..D3..yes..D4..no >>>LADSMT::RAJEETue Nov 29 1988 10:3319
    D2 comes with an AC adapter. D2 can be operated from regular AA batteries.
    I think you need 4 or 6. Compared to D3, D2 does not have a rechargeable
    battery. 
    
    Programability .....mmmmm...not much ..You can play it in 3 modes. 
    They are 1,repeat and shuffle. 1 stands for repeating one selection
    continuosly. But Sony gives you an option to hook up this CD 
    player to a wireless or wired remote controller.  D3 did not have 
    this option. I think D3 is now obsolete..
   
    D2 weighs less and more compact than D3. All Sony CD players come
    with options (more bucks) to connect to car stereos either to a cigarrete
    lighter or to a cassette player.

    I know nothing about D4.

    re:.6,.7
    
    The D-4 comes with a rechargeable battery pack that is supposed
    to go for 4� hours on a full charge.  It comes with the AC adaptor
    too, of course.  It has shuffle, A-B programming, and I think you
    can program 16 tracks or something but I've never tried it on mine.
    BJs has the D4 for $185.  I use it in my car with the battery pack
    and it works great, seldom skips.

    A-B is when you can arbritrarily mark a beginning and end and repeat
    it.
    
    It also has a search mode.
