Single vs. Multiple Disc
Single disc players hold just one disc at a time, requiring you to manually change discs to listen to another. Multidisc players typically hold three or more (five is common) discs in a carousel. CD players are available that hold large numbers of CDs, eliminating the need to store discs separately. For a system that can handle multiple discs, “play exchange” is a useful feature to have. This allows you to remove or exchange CDs that aren’t playing while another is being played.
Multiple Format Capabilities
Many CD players can also play home-recorded CDs on CD-R (recordable) or CD-RW (rewritable) discs or MP-3 formats. Be sure to understand which formats a particular CD player can play.
Super Audio CD (SACD) and DVD-Audio
Super Audio CD (SACD) and DVD-Audio are two new digital high-resolution audio CD formats that can hold far more information than a standard CD and offer up to six discrete channels. SACD and DVD-Audio both were designed to be compatible with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and backward compatible, meaning that most will be able to be played on standard and older CD/DVD players.
Did you know that most DVD players can play CDs? When connected to a receiver and speakers, or when connected to a home theater system, most DVD players can play audio CDs. If you plan to purchase a DVD player and use it regularly to play CDs, you may want to consider a multidisc player over a single disc player.
