Sherwood 1160R

Not much survives on the Sherwood 1160R. The model's identity rests on a single period test report. HiFI-Stereo (March 1989, p.48) ran a Hirsch-Houck Laboratories test of the Sherwood CD-1160R and identified it as a compact disc player. The measurements on the following page (p.50) showed frequency response within ±0.2 dB from 5 Hz to 20 kHz, and within ±0.1 dB over most of that range. Channel separation was about 85 dB at low and middle frequencies. The report also noted front-panel operating modes listed as program, space, repeat, and random, plus conventional play and pause symbols.

The sources found so far record no production years, original price, circuit details, or place in Sherwood's lineup. Beyond that March 1989 review, the 1160R is a gap in the Sherwood record. It's a late-1980s CD player that shows up for one lab test and then drops out of the documentation.
