If anyone has any literature on all the new Sony CD players, maybe
they can list them and what the features are.  I have looked at
many of the stores that carry Sony CD players and they have little
if any literature ( usually the 102 and 302 models only).  I was
interested in a small CD player for reasons of room.  The D5 is nice
and the price is pretty good but it is almost too small.  I saw a picture
of the Sony CDP-7F (not to be confused with the 70) which looks to be
a home version of the D-5.  It is only a little bigger and is top loading
like the D-5.  The front panel is larger than the D-5 and appears to
be programmable but no other information is given.  I don't know about
the chip set that is used in it (I wish I did).

As I am writing this, I just remembered the July issue of Audio/Video
International I have in the desk.  It has a model chart of all the then
known CD players out or announced (97 in all).  They list 12 Sony models.
They are: CDP-7F, CDP-30, CDP-70, CDP-102, CDP-302, CDP-520ES, CDP-620ES,
CDP-650ESD (all home units), D-5 (portable), CFD-5 (boombox), CDX-5
and CDX-R7 (car units).  They list specs such as S/N, Frequency Response,
etc. but nothing really technical.  The following units have the Unilinear
converter setup: CDP-102, CDP-302, CDP-520ES, CDP-620ES and CDP-650ESD.
The CDP-7F, CDP-30 and CDP-70 all list the same specs, so they 
probably have the same setup.  The cheapest list prices are the
CDP-7F and the D-5 at $299.95.  This isn't very technical but I 
hope it clears up some of the confusion.
