CD-player Kenwood DP-3050
The DP-3050 CD player is a clear example of how the desire of manufacturers to create a device with as original a design as possible diverges from the requirements for ease of operation.

CD-player Kenwood DP-5030
Roll every CD player in the universe into a single, average one and you have the DP-5030, anonymity incarnate. Even the name implies it. That doesn't stop it being well made, though.

CD-player KENWOOD DP-5060
The only thing that I frankly did not like about this model was the unusual location of the button for opening the loading compartment. However, this is a matter of habit. The functionality is very rich, although most of the modes can only be activated by remote control. The technical parameters are...

CD-changer Kenwood DP-R4090
The Kenwood DP-R4090 plays lively and realistically. Chamber acoustic recordings sound especially good on it - the space on such material is transmitted superbly.
