Magnavox CDB-472
Little is documented about the Magnavox CDB-472. It was a compact disc player from Magnavox's late-1980s lineup, one of three new front-loading players. The other two were the CDB-471 and the CDB-473.
HiFI-Stereo (July 1987, p.14) covered the line when it was new and named the CDB-473 as the featured model of the three. That one had a dual-oversampling system, six-function remote control, index access, headphone jack, three-speed search, and twenty-track programming. The piece doesn't spell out the CDB-472's own feature set. A dealer advertisement in Audio (August 1988, p.122) later offered the CDB-472 at $209, between the CDB-471 at $169 and the CDB-473 at $259.
Those two period mentions are about all there is. No service manual, full specification sheet, or dedicated review has surfaced, so the CDB-472's exact circuitry and controls remain undocumented.
