For some reason, Sony CD players dating back to 1991 play everything.
It has to do with the AGC control circuit, which adjusts the dynamic
range of the sensor for mediums with different reflectivities.

A standard feature of virtually every CD player and every CDROM drive
ever
made, going right back to the Sony CDP-101 (1983).


Are you referring to virtually every SONY player? - or players from all
manufacturers?

AFAIK *all* of them, Sony or not.

As far as Sony CD players have a brand advantage when it comes to CD-Rs, I
know of no such thing. In fact some of the worst behaved players I've seen
were Sonys, but I think that is just a coincidence.





I never cared for the sound of Sony players. Too harsh.
