This is the Philips DCC130 – a first generation portable Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) player designed by Marantz and made in Japan. This particular recorder was made in late 1993. It has been only lightly used and is in excellent condition with very few signs of wear / usage on the housing. The metal and rubber parts are free from scratches. The screen is clear and without cracks and it still has the original rubber feet that are in very good condition (these can turn to mush over time). All the buttons, dials and connectors work as they should. The recorder has been fully serviced and restored. The rubber drive belt (which wears out over time, preventing the player from functioning properly) has been replaced. The capacitors (which are prone to leaking) have also been replaced. You can see overything that was replaced on the last photo. In addition the inside has been fully cleaned, including the thin film head, the pinch rollers and capstans. The player is now fully functional again and plays beautifully. Please see below for the full technical specifications. Please take a look at the photos as these are part of the description. It comes with the original retail box (with matching serial number) and all originally included accessories (plus one extra battery, but without the “free DCC sampler” mentioned on the sticker on the box). These are all in new and unused condition and working order unless stated otherwise. 2x rechargeable battery (used). Although it will still charge, the battery does not hold a full charge anymore. The remaining capacity is around 30 minutes of playing time. Remote control and head phones (still in the original taped up plastic bag). AC adapter / battery charger (used). Mains power lead with EU plug. DC power lead (from player to AC adapter). Retail box with styrofoam packaging. The DCC130 has a digital SP/DIF output. Most consumer portable digital equipment produced since the early 1990’s conforms to the SP/DIF standard, and the DCC130 is no exception. The output plug provided is a full-sized optical Toslink connector. The fact that the plug is a full-sized Toslink is significant, since even the latest Minidisc and DAT portables lack this important feature. This digital output allows easy connection to other digital audio equipment without the need for any kind of adapter. By comparison, Sony’s first Minidisc recorder, the MZ-1 (also released in 1992), had an SP/DIF optical output which used an optical miniplug, which required a special adapter or a special type of cable before it could be used with other digital equipment. This made Philips the first to provide such a feature on a portable. Plays regular analog and digital DCC tapes. With the DCC format, the user was able to slowly upgrade to a new digital format, without the necessity of leaving an older format behind altogether. Both analog tapes and digital tapes could be played back on the DCC130, and any other DCC equipment. When analog tapes are played back in the DCC130, a frequency range of 20 Hz – 18 kHz can be heard, with a dynamic range exceeding 90dB. Although the ability to play analog tapes back in the DCC130 is a nice feature, in hindsight the public didn’t really care too much if DCC equipment was “backwards compatible”. Anyone who could afford the DCC130’s hefty price tag was generally not concerned about playing back analog cassettes anyway. Therefore, this “advantage” went virtually unnoticed by most consumers. The DCC130 is built like a tank. The exterior feels like it is made of cast iron. It is heavy as a brick, and will very likely last forever. I have never seen a DCC130 fail. This reliability is also seen in many of Philips other first-generation DCC equipment, such as the DCC900. Backlit display on main unit. The DCC130 has a very nice LCD display, which has a green backlight when plugged into an AC power source. The display makes it very easy to see the LCD screen. This backlight is invaluable when it comes to editing between the DCC130 and another DCC deck. The DCC130 can be used to play digital tapes and edit them on a recording deck.
