Magnavox CDB-460
Little is documented about the Magnavox CDB-460. What survives comes mostly from period coverage of its better-documented sibling, the CDB-650 - and even that is a passing mention.
In its June 1987 review of the CDB-650, Audio (June 1987, p.81) noted that the CDB-650, CDB-560, CDB-460, and CDB-465 all shared similar audio paths. The higher model got a few extra features. The same review put the CDB-460 at the bottom of the family's remote-control ladder. The CDB-650 had a full-function remote (minus volume), the CDB-560 had a more limited one, and the CDB-460 had none at all. That, plus the model numbering, suggests it was the budget-oriented player in Magnavox's CD lineup.
Beyond that, the record is nearly empty. No full specifications, original price, production years, or manual have surfaced in the archive. A dealer ad in Audio (August 1988, p.122) shows other Magnavox CD models of the era at $159 to $259, but it gives no CDB-460 price.
If you have a CDB-460, a brochure, or a service manual, this page could use your help.
