D-Link, supplier of networking products, introduces the new DMP-CD100 - an MP3- based CD player that plays both MP3 files and audio CD. It is portable, easy to use and houses cutting-edge technology that provides over 10 hours of non-stop music in a single unit.
Targeted at MP3 music enthusiasts, the DMP-CD100 incorporates the latest technology. This allows for the provision of over 10 hours of non-stop music in a single unit from ordinary audio CD and CD-Recordable compact disks.
Says Attie Pienaar, D-Link SA branch manager: "D-Link`s latest MP3/CD player is compatible with the MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3) standard and therefore supports bit-rates from 32Kbps up to 320Kbps."
The 1-bit D/A (Digital to Analogue) converter and the Digital filter utilise eight times over-sampling thus providing high quality audio output. Since DMP-CD100 is compatible with audio CD, it provides all of the programming modes that are standard on portable CD players.
Users have the option to repeat the same song continuously via the Repeat Track Mode whilst the Repeat All Mode will play the whole CD repeatedly. Program Mode allows the user to program up to 22 individual songs for a custom playlist. Random Mode randomly selects a playlist using the whole CD.
"The DMP-CD100 Bass Boost feature enhances bass sound for a more enjoyable musical experience," explains Attie. "The possibility of accidentally altering functions is greatly reduced through the Hold feature. If selected, this feature disables the use of all buttons. The T.Digit button provides quick access to high numbered tracks by allowing the user to input a three-digit track number to skip to."
Supporting the DMP-CD100`s other features, a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) option highlights the status of playback and functions. The DMP-CD100 provides 10 seconds of Electronic Shock Protection (ESP) in audio CD mode to ensure constant playing without skipping. It also provides two outputs. The Audio jack connects to the provided earphones.
The Line out jack allows connection to a separate audio player for recording or playing through speakers. The headphone jack is a standard 3.5-inch stereo jack. The DMP-CD 100 is now available in SA.
