Introduction to Sony Discman CD Players
The Sony Discman, launched in 1984 with the D-50, brought CDs on the go, featuring electronic shock protection and lightweight designs for portable listening.
Key features include ATRAC compression, AM/FM radio integration in some models, remote controls, and long battery life. From classic D-series to advanced Walkman hybrids, they redefined personal audio.
Sony's Discman series are portable CD players, often with radio and cassette add-ons. Download manuals from Sony's support page by entering your model for PDF guides.
