Magnavox CDB-471
Little is documented about the Magnavox CDB-471. Period references confirm it was a compact disc player in Magnavox's late-1980s lineup, sold alongside the CDB472, CDB473, and CD8470. A dealer ad in Audio (August 1988, p.122) listed the CDB-471 at $169 - the second least expensive of the four Magnavox models in that ad (CD8470 $159, CDB472 $209, CDB473 $259).
The better-documented sibling is the CDB473. HiFI-Stereo's new products pages (July 1987, p.14) introduced it as one of three new front-loading players. It had a triple-oversampling system, a six-function remote, index access, a headphone jack, three-speed search, and twenty-track programming. Whether the CDB-471 shared any of those features is not recorded. No dedicated review, service manual, or specification sheet for the CDB-471 has turned up in the Archive's research.
