Mission PCM II
CD Player - Boxed
Manufactured in the UK and designed around the Philips TDA1541A D/A converter and CDM-4/11 mechanism, this high spec machine is excellent physical condition. Tested and in full working order, this plays our badly scratched test CDR without a hiccup.
The following information and specifications are from the excellent hifiengine website:
“The remote controlled Cyrus PCM II incorporates all that Cyrus has learned about digital technology, coupled with the insight which could have only been acquired by a full understanding of analogue technology.
To this end, Cyrus has specified exceptional power supplies for every stage in the PCM II, the vast power reserves and power supply stability ensuring that the signals are not compromised in any way.
Because each section has its own power supply, interaction between the digital and analogue sections, the laser/servo system and the control sections is minimised.
To demonstrate the extent of Cyrus' concern for ultimate sonic performance, the PCM II's display can be switched off during play to minimise superfluous digital traffic.
The power supply can be enhanced further by the connection of the Cyrus PSX.
The latest generation CD player from Cyrus Electronics is the ideal device for exploiting the ever-growing CD catalogue”.

This comes in its original Mission double-box shipping carton, with original remote control, mains cable and a pair of good quality gold RCA (phono) cables. It also comes with its very important transport locks - which will be used for safe shipping (see pictures 14 & 15). The user manual is a print-out copy from our archives.
Please note: Even with transport locks in place, I’m always wary of this type of laser eye flopping around during transport. With this in mind I’ve padded the swinging laser eye with some bubble-wrap, which should ensure safe delivery (see pictures 17 & 18). It is very important that this padding is removed before powering-up. Just take off the top case and carefully remove bubble-wrap. Better safe than sorry.
