About the CDC-735

The Yamaha CDC-735 is a 5-disc multi-play compact disc changer introduced in the early 1990s, known for its natural sound quality and advanced features. It supports CD playback with a frequency response of 2Hz to 20kHz, a dynamic range of 100dB, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 110dB. The player includes a variable-level headphone output, variable-level line outputs, and a coaxial digital output with an on/off switch. It features Yamaha's S-Bit Plus low-bit D/A conversion system with second-order noise shaping and a time-base corrector to reduce jitter. The CDC-735 can program up to forty tracks, supports single-track, single-disc, and all-discs repeat modes, as well as random playback. It has a unique PlayXchange feature allowing changing of four discs while playing one. The unit is noted for its fast disc change time of about 6 seconds due to onboard table-of-contents memory, though it is somewhat noisy during operation. The front panel is aluminum with an amber display that can be dimmed or turned off to reduce audio interference. It was manufactured in Japan and typically includes a remote control and connection cables. The CDC-735 is no longer in production but remains a respected model for vintage HiFi enthusiasts.
