In 1990, Discman transitioned to a design intended for general consumer use. A design that prioritizes operability and power management has been incorporated.
D-11
The D-11 is a portable CD player powered by AA batteries. It features a clamp-type disc fixing mechanism and includes functions such as repeat playback, shuffle playback, Mega Bass, and line output. Playback is within the range of a standard CD player, and it does not have vibration damping. While designed for portable use, it is intended for use in a stable environment. It maintains a basic configuration.
D-66
The D-66 is a portable CD player with a compact chassis. It employs a three-point support spindle mechanism, replacing the conventional clamp structure. It features functions such as program playback, repeat playback, display, Mega Bass, and wired remote support. Playback is within the range of a standard CD player, and it does not have vibration damping. It prioritizes compactness and uses a chassis design that is easy to carry.
D-T66
The D-T66 is a portable CD player based on the D-66, with a built-in AM/FM tuner. While maintaining the three-point support spindle mechanism and chassis configuration, the tuner is integrated into the main unit. The headphone cable is used as an antenna. It supports both CD playback and radio reception, allowing switching between audio sources. Playback is within the range of a standard CD player, and it is designed as a multi-function device.
D-99
The D-99 is a high-end portable CD player featuring a metal casing and a 1-bit conversion circuit. It uses a high-output amplifier circuit and an enhanced audio output system. The exterior is made of aluminum. Playback remains within the range of a standard CD player, and it does not have vibration damping. It is positioned as a high-end model prioritizing audio output and exterior quality.
D-303
The D-303 is a high-end portable CD player featuring a metal casing and a high-quality output configuration. It uses an expanded audio output system with a 1-bit conversion circuit, optical digital output, and an enhanced headphone output circuit. Playback remains within the range of a standard CD player, and it does not have vibration damping. While battery-powered, it uses an output configuration close to that of a stationary player, prioritizing sound quality.
By 1990, the initial destabilizing factors had been resolved. The product's structure has been modified to improve its overall quality.
