In 1996, Sony released its CDP-CE415 CD player to consumers. This home sound system featured a five CD disc changer, the ability to interface with and control another connected CD player, and even the ability to tailor a playlist from the five discs to record onto a tape. As a CD player, the system came with no speakers of its own, but integrated into an already-existing home theater or sound systems.
Laser
The reader on the CDP-CE415 was a 780 nm continuous emission semiconductor laser. The output of this laser was 44.6 microwatts. This value represents the output power of the laser at a distance of 200 mm from the lens surface on the Optical Pick-up Block, using a 7 mm aperture.
Sound Dynamics
The CDP-CE415 offered a dynamic range of sound exceeding 98 dB, meaning its maximum loudness exceeds 98 decibels. It's signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 102 dB, which represents the ratio of noise and static compared to a fixed reference point. The harmonic distortion found in the sound output was less than 0.0045 percent, and the frequency response clock in from 2Hz to 20kHz, give or take 0.5 dB.
Output
The audio output on the CDP-CE415 was channeled through phono jacks to a connected speaker system, with a maximum output of 2V.
Dimensions
The CDP-CE415 was approximately 17 inches wide, 4 3/4 inches high, and 15 1/4 inches long, and weigh about 11 lb., 15 oz.
Power
The CDP-CE415 consumed about 14W of power during its operation, and was powered by a 120V AC unit.
