Sony CDP-350 Japanese-Made Single Disc CD Player – CDR Compatible
This Japanese-manufactured Sony CDP-350 single disc CD player from 1987 represents solid mid-tier hi-fi engineering from Sony’s golden era of digital audio. The CDP-350 offers reliable CD playback with the added benefit of CDR compatibility, making it versatile for both commercial CDs and home-recorded discs.
The CDP-350 features Sony’s 4x oversampling dual D/A converter system, delivering clean digital-to-analog conversion with impressive specifications for its era. The unit employs a KSS-150A semiconductor laser pickup with continuous emission capability, ensuring consistent disc reading performance. Built into a sturdy metal bookshelf-style chassis, this player was designed for durability and long-term reliability.
Key features include RCA line output jacks for connection to your amplifier or receiver, plus a dedicated headphone jack with independent volume control for private listening. The frequency response spans the full audio spectrum from 2Hz to 20kHz with tight ±0.5dB tolerance, while the signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 100dB for quiet operation. Total harmonic distortion remains exceptionally low at less than 0.05% at 1kHz, and channel separation surpasses 95dB for excellent stereo imaging.
The player accepts multiple power voltages including 120V AC 60Hz for North American use, with modest 10W power consumption.

Sony began in Tokyo in 1946, founded by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, and it helped bring the world the Walkman and the compact disc. We carry Sony stereo and AV receivers, CD players, cassette decks, amplifiers and speakers. We've had more than 220 Sony listings so far, covering more than 185 different models.

The Sony story, 1946 to today
Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita founded Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo ("Totsuko") in Tokyo in 1946, growing out of a radio repair business Ibuka had started the year before. The company was renamed Sony in 1958.
Tape and transistors. The G-model tape recorder of 1950 is described as Japan's first, and the TR-55 transistor radio of 1955 was the first Sony-branded product.
ES. Sony describes the TA-1120 integrated amplifier of 1965 as the first all-silicon-transistor stereo amplifier and dates its ES ("Elevated Standard") line from it.
Walkman and CD. The Walkman went on sale in Japan in July 1979. Sony worked with Philips on the compact disc, and Sony's CDP-101 was among the first CD players on sale in Japan in October 1982. Sony still makes ES AV receivers.
Which Sony is which?
STR receivers: stereo receivers from the late 1960s on, such as the STR-6120, and later AV receivers, including ES models.
TA amplifiers and ES separates: from the TA-1120 to the TA-E86 preamplifier and TA-N86 power amplifier (1978).
CDP CD players: from the CDP-101 (1982) and CDP-701ES (1983) to changers such as the CDP-CE305 and CDP-C335 we sell often.
TC tape decks: reel-to-reel recorders until 1985, and cassette decks such as the TC-K61 and the three-head TC-K777ES.
SS speakers: such as the SS-G7 floorstanders of 1978.
Buying used Sony: what to check
CD players. Open and close the drawer several times; hesitation can be an early sign of trouble. Laser pickups wear, skipping is a symptom, and tray belts age.
Cassette decks. Belts dry out and cause slipping or uneven playback, and worn heads dull the sound. Run fast-forward and rewind, and check Dolby.
Amplifiers and receivers. Noisy switches and dirty relay contacts cause many faults, and bias settings drift with age. On tuners, look for blown bulbs and broken dial cords.
Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
