Manufacturer's description

CDC-685 is a carousel-type changer with 5-disc capacity. It features Yamaha's patented PlayXchange that permits four discs to be replaced while the fifth is playing. This changer can play your self-recorded compilation CDs as well as discs bought in the store. The input and output ports make the CD changer a natural for custom installation. Volume, including headphone volume, can be adjusted at the remote control keypad. The changer provides a variable analog output and an optical digital output. For easy and quick access, up to 40 tracks on any combination of discs can be programmed into the CDC-685's memory. Two pairs of Yamaha's high precision single-bit digital-to-analog converters provide accurate conversion from the digital domain to analog to assure a natural sound quality. Only the music will be heard, thanks to Yamaha's newly designed super silent mechanism.
