Marantz Professional has announced the release of its CC4001P Studioline 5-Carousel CD Changer.

This is an upgraded replacement for the CC4300, with many new key features. Principal among these is that the CD changer will play up to five CD-R/RW and MP3 discs, providing a jukebox of nearly 5,000 tracks. Up to 999 tracks can be contained on a single disc.                                                                             

The multi-featured machine also incorporates dual digital (coaxial and optical) outputs as well as volume-adjustable headphone output and a bi-directional RS-232C terminal.

Although the previous model (CC4300P) also included an RS-232C terminal, the specifications were unidirectional - only for executing commands. The CC4001P improves on this by supporting bi-directional communication, in which the operating status is sent in reply to commands issued from the controller. This enables customers to prepare a more user-friendly system by, for example, prohibiting unavailable operations from a touch panel controller in advance.

Another addition is the IR Flasher input terminal. This is useful when the CC4001P is stored in an enclosed rack or in other situations preventing reception of IR signals by the sensor. By means of this interface, users can set up a separate IR sensor outside the rack, or link a controller directly to the unit via a cord for reliable control of the CC4001P.

Finally, IR remote control codes are provided so that as many as five CC4001P units can be independently controlled in the same place.
