The CD-01U is an extremely compact CD player available as a standard or professional version. The 19" casing of the CD-01U comprises a clearly legible display and durable CD drive buttons, a slot-loading drive which reads standard audio CDs (CD-R and CD-RW), as well as MP3-CDs with a diameter of 8 and 12 cm.
Alongside the typical play and types of repeat functions, the player offers many functions for professional use, such as auto cue (search for beginning of title), auto ready (automatic pause at the end of a title), call (jumps to the position at which playback was last started), pitch control (±12%) including the opportunity to alter the tempo while retaining the key, intro-check or fade-in/fade-out. In order to be able to integrate into media control devices and into permanent installations, there is a relay play function, fader-start, EOM signal and a serial port. Furthermore, the device can resume playback after being switched on again and can remember a variety of operating conditions after being switched off.
The standard version has an unbalanced analogue output (cinch) and an optical digital output (SPDIF). The professional version provides the user with an additional balanced analogue output (XLR), an AES/EBU digital output (XLR) and a parallel port.
