Sony CDP-261

Up for sale is a used Sony CDP-261 Single Disc Compact Disc Player.

If you are looking for a reliable, no-nonsense dedicated CD player to anchor your 2-channel stereo system, this vintage Sony deck is a perfect choice. Built in France during the mid-1990s, the CDP-261 features Sony's highly regarded Pulse D/A Converter (DAC) and a premium High Density Linear Converter system. Tape and vinyl enthusiasts appreciate these legacy Sony decks because they deliver an incredibly warm, clean, and musical soundstage with a dead-silent noise floor.

Condition Notes:

• Performance: In Full Working Order. This unit has been thoroughly bench-tested on our service counter. The motorized disc tray opens and closes smoothly, the optical laser assembly index tracks instantly, and it plays through full store-bought and burned CD-R albums without any skipping or transport hesitation.
• Cosmetics: In Fair/Good Used Condition, showing some standard "life wear" consistent with a vintage audio component that has been loved and utilized over the years. The black metal top cover and front panel show typical light surface scuffs and minor hairline scratches from component stacking. Please note that the small plastic "SONY" logo badge on the front left corner of the faceplate is missing. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect the performance of the player in any way (please see all detailed photos).
• Note: This listing includes the standalone CD player with its integrated factory power cable. A remote control, RCA patch cables, or original manuals are not included.
