Sherwood CDP-100 CD player (ad., Aug. 1984)

Sherwood announces the latest thing in second generation CD audio technology: Affordability.

The compact disc just may be the most heart-stopping concept in sound since stereo. But the most heart stopping feature of compact disc players has been their price. Now, with Sherwood's new CDP-100, you can relax about money and really get excited about sound.

A tradition of affordable excellence.

Sherwood is well-known for high-quality audio products at affordable prices. And our new CD player is no exception. While others were still on first generation models, we combined advanced second-generation performance with a no-nonsense array of useful, features. And we did it in a way that not only makes sense, but saves you dollars as well.

Three laser beams for better tracking.

Most CD players use only one laser beam. Sherwood put a three-beam laser into the CDP-100, because a three beam system virtually eliminates distortion caused by spurious data from adjacent tracks.

Two filters, not one.

All CD's require filters, because the decoding of digital sound generates a sampling frequency which must be filtered out, or distortions will be heard.

Other CD players use one very steep analog filter; this can cause phase distortion. Sherwood's answer is to use a digital filter to double the sampling frequency, and then use a more gentle type of analog filter for reduced phase distortion. The result: better sound at less cost.

Easy-to-use functional controls.

Inserting a disc is easy, thanks to a "smart" motorized drawer under microprocessor operation. (It even knows if you accidentally put the disc in upside down.)

You can easily access any selection, and there's a two speed fast forward and backward, so you can listen while you quickly locate the spot you want to near. You can even set the CDP-100 to repeat the entire disc for continuous music.
