Sony CDP-C910 (1992–1994)
The Sony CDP-C910 was the flagship of Sony's CD changer range from 1992 through 1994. It was a five-disc carousel player at the top of the company's "C" series. The Vintage Knob places it among Sony's 1992 models, and hifi-wiki confirms a production window running into 1994.
The C910 uses a single-beam mechanism. That was a deliberate choice, not the twin-beam approach some competitors used. The player also carried a "custom file" disc-memory system, which let the deck remember programming or playback preferences for individual discs. It had both fixed and variable line outputs, plus coaxial and optical digital outputs, so it could connect straight to an amplifier or to a separate DAC.
Both hifi-wiki and The Vintage Knob identify the carousel as holding five discs. The same listing noted a frequency response of 2 Hz to 20 kHz ±0.3 dB. The supplied remote was the RM-D910.
The record is thin beyond that. No original price or physical dimensions are documented in the archive's sources, and no owner commentary has surfaced. A component listing in HiFI-Stereo (1999, p.28) described the CDP-C910 as a 10-disc changer with a THD of 0.0035% and a S/N ratio of 110 dB. That disagrees with the five-disc count above.
