Magnavox CDB-582
Not much is documented about the Magnavox CDB-582. The clearest period sighting is a dealer ad in Audio (April 1990, p.122). It lists the CDB-582 among the Magnavox compact disc players, near models including a CDB610 remote and a CDB630 Deluxe. The ad block it sits in mentions "4X" oversampling. The same ad offers special prices on closeout and factory-renewed models, with figures around $169.88 and $179.88 printed nearby. The scan is imperfect, so nobody can say for sure which price belongs to the CDB-582.
That is about the whole record. No service manual, full specification sheet or production-year confirmation has turned up in the Archive's research, so the DAC, transport and dimensions remain undocumented. Given the 1990 closeout listing, it appears to have been sold late in the first generation of Philips/Magnavox CD players. That is an inference, not a documented date.
