Sony CDP-C335 5 Disc Compact Disc Player Made in Japan
The CDP-C335 is the C235 with the two things people actually miss: a remote and a headphone jack with its own volume control. New belts, cleaned laser, cleaned mode switch, all deck functions tested working.
The Sony CDP-C335 is a five-disc carousel changer from 1993, and the better-equipped half of a two-model pair. It shares its chassis and transport with the CDP-C235 but adds infrared remote control and a front-panel headphone jack with independent volume — which makes it the more useful of the two if you listen late or run it without a receiver in the chain. Five discs load on a rotating tray, and the Disc Ex-Change system lets you pull and replace four of them without stopping the fifth.
What This Unit Does
- Disc Ex-Change carousel: swap four discs while the fifth keeps playing, no interruption
- Headphone jack with its own volume control — listen directly from the player, no amplifier required
- Original Sony remote included and working, so program and shuffle modes are reachable from the couch
- High Density Linear Converter D/A section, Sony's name for the 1-bit conversion used across this generation
- Digital Servo System handling tracking and disc-change control
- Analog RCA line output at 2 V — feeds any receiver, integrated amp, or powered speaker with a line input
Condition
Graded very good, 8/10. Light cosmetic wear consistent with the age of the unit. Nothing noted that affects operation. Photos show the actual unit you will receive.
