Technics SL-PD887 5-Disc Rotary CD Changer with MASH Technology and Technics Remote Control
Technics’ reliable rotary carousel changer combines multi-disc convenience with the brand’s acclaimed MASH (Multi-Stage Noise Shaping) digital conversion technology. Built in 1996 during the peak of Japanese CD player engineering, the SL-PD887 delivers smooth, musical playback from five discs without the mechanical complexity of magazine-style systems.
The rotary carousel mechanism loads up to five standard CDs or CDR discs into individual trays, enabling disc exchange while one continues playing—a practical advantage for extended listening sessions or parties. This unit has been thoroughly tested and verified: all carousel positions rotate smoothly, disc loading and detection functions operate reliably, playback starts without hesitation, and all front-panel controls respond accurately. Cosmetically, this player presents in good condition with clean front panel, functional display, and normal signs of use consistent with a nearly 30-year-old component.
The hallmark feature here is the MASH 1-bit digital-to-analog conversion system, which employs 256x oversampling and multi-stage noise shaping to eliminate the need for traditional brick-wall low-pass filtering. The result is a notably smooth, natural sound signature free from the harshness or digital glare that plagued many budget players of this era. The 2V line output integrates seamlessly with any amplifier or receiver, delivering impressive signal-to-noise ratio of 100dB and vanishingly low 0.007% total harmonic distortion.
Front-panel operation is intuitive: large, tactile buttons for play, pause, stop, and disc selection, with a clear fluorescent display tracking disc position, track number, and elapsed time. The numeric keypad enables direct track access, while the program mode accommodates up to 32 custom selections across all five discs. Spiral play mode sequences through the first track of each disc, then the second, and so on—ideal for sampler-style listening. Random play and repeat functions add further flexibility. The included fully functional remote control provides complete access to all playback modes from across the room.
At 4.6 kg (10.1 lbs), the SL-PD887 reflects solid build quality typical of mid-1990s Technics engineering: robust metal chassis, quality power supply, and reliable Sony-sourced transport mechanism that has proven durable across thousands of units in the field.

Near the top of Yamaha's Natural Sound carousel range, and the numbers say so — 106dB signal to noise, 96dB dynamic range, 0.003% distortion. The line output is variable from the remote, so it can drive a power amp directly in a simple system. It reads CD-Rs, which Yamaha never claimed for this generation; we verified that here. Original remote. Cosmetically graded Good.
