I think by the time the changers came out, Philips had stopped doing that.
The original 14-bit chipset did it, but I think the second-generation set
that came out around 1985 didn't.

I got hold of a guy in a tech shop that was factory warranty for the
Philips line and he toldhme that the unit I had purchased did that:
first left channel and then right. And that's just how it sounded. I was
flabbergasted.
