Scott 939DA
Little is documented about the Scott 939DA. The record rests almost entirely on a single period listing: this was H.H. Scott's first Compact Disc player, introduced in 1984. HiFI-Stereo (September 1984, p.20) reported that the 939DA used a three-beam laser, LSI technology, and digital filtering, and that the program remained audible — though muted — during track changes. The front-panel display showed elapsed time, remaining time, selection number, and details of programmed selections. Up to 23 selections could be programmed for playback in sequential order. The original price was $600.
Beyond that listing, no production years, full specifications, or independent test reports appear to survive. It was evidently a brief entry in the first wave of consumer CD players. It was announced, reviewed in passing, and then largely forgotten.
