VINTAGE CARVER DTL-200MK2 (Manufactured January 1988) ***** PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMERS BEFORE BID/PURCHASE ***** This piece of electronics gear is 35+ years old, and unlike wine, electronics do NOT get finer with age.The unit was tested with remote and was found to be in working orderThese units almost never have the remote - the original Carver remote is included with this sale!!!NO, I will not separate remote from player and vice versa!AS-IS, no returns!Vintage always entails some level of risk. Your unit may work for 5 seconds, minutes or years. Buyer assumes all liabilityPlease ask in email anything you would like to know about the unit before purchasing.Good luck and happy shopping! The DTL-200 uses the latest laser pick-up systems, sophisticated over- sampling and digital filtering technology, and well -engineered mechanical transport designs which ensure fast track access time and increased freedom from feedback. The more samples, the more accurate the music. Carver Compact Disc Players begin with the most advanced digital -to -analog D/A translation circuitry available. Along with an audible signal ranging up to 20kHz, endless images of the signal at 40K, 80K. 160K etc. exist which must be removed from the signal to prevent harmonic problems. Budget model Compact Disc Players place a simple anti -imaging filter after the digital/analog converter stage. Carver uses DIGITAL filtering ahead of the D/A converter through a process called double oversampling. The signal is passed through a shift register which delays the samples. so that the weighted average of a large number of signals is generated. Through a complex process. frequency bands are suppressed between 20kHz and 160kHz. eliminating harmonic distortion problems early on before the complicated D/A translation. The exclusive Digital Time Lens. Both the DTL-200 and DTL-50 have the remarkable Carver Digital Time Lens to further enhance your listening enjoyment. When Bob Carver first listened critically to CDs. he immediately detected differences between the digital version and well -mastered analog versions. (See the story of the Digital Time Lens on page 26 of this publication.) These differences continue to exist on many new Compact Disc releases. depending on the mastering facility, condition of the original tape (remember. over 80% of all CDs begin with a reel-to-reel tape master!) and engineering tastes. The Digital Time Lens restores both the lost ambience and the octave -to -octave balance originally intended by the musician and recording engineer as evidenced by the analog recording. and enhances ambient effects found on corresponding analog discs. The result is a sound with more of the three-dimensional ambient information that places us in the same space with performers. Sometimes more is not better. If one laser pick-up is good. many manufacturers have reasoned that customers will assume that three lasers must be better. The DTL-200 and DTL-50, along with several other of the worlds finest CD players; use a sophisticated single laser system. (Sometimes Less is More.) Through a beam splitting process using aerospace -grade optics, a single lasers output is received by SIX diode pick-ups and monitored through ultra -high speed servo tracers. This approach increases Carver Compact Disc Players ability to correct for mis-tracking caused by production flaws, fingerprints and dust. CARVER DTL-200 COMPACT DISC PLAYER WITH DIGITAL TIME LENS AND TIME DOMAIN CORRECTION. I4 -function infrared wireless remoteDigital Time LensTime Domain Correction9-track programmability The DTL-200 is replete with easy -to -use features. the latest digital -to -analog translation technology. Carvers exclusive Digital Time Lens circuitry and an important new innovation. Time Domain Correction. which can actually adjust for imperfections in digital source material and disc manufacturing! A built-in quality control computer. Time Domain Correction constantly monitors the incoming digital signal for imperfections and glitches: These high frequency harmonics may be caused in the recording process. during the incredibly intricate Compact Disc mastering process or as part of the final production of the CD. Such errors in the digital bit -stream cannot be corrected by conventional tracking correction or D/A circuitry because they are part of the actual information being read off the CD. Yet they can add to overall harmonic distortion and cause audible changes in sound quality. The DTL-200 constantly performs a complex. 25 -bit digital calculation on passing digital data. This high-speed error correction code, in conjunction with a 12I -pole digital filter. terminates distortion -generating high harmonics. (In effect, this circuit acts as a 12Ist Order Crossover. rolling off distortion products by a whopping 728dB/octave!) The result is frequency response within 1/1000 of a dB of the original and reduction of distortion to 0.007%. The DTL-200s slim. I4 -function wireless remote duplicates all front panel operations -even power on and off. Along with the ability to skip forward or backward. song -by -song, a touch of a key allows you to audibly review a disc. backward or forward, at many times normal speed. This is especially useful in conjunction with the DTL-200s A -B Specific Phrase Replay/ Repeat feature. If you wish to carefully analyze one section of a performance. make out indistinct lyrics or just repeat an incredible musical passage of any length repeatedly, you need only mark the beginning and end with one remote control key. Naturally the DTL-200 also lets you repeat any specific track or a whole Compact Disk for uninterrupted enjoyment. Select as many as twelve songs from a CD in any order. Delete the tracks you dont want to hear. Repeat your favorites several times. Or just rearrange their order. For classical music lovers. the DTL-200 also has complete indexing capabilities as well. All functions are displayed on an easy to -read but subtle LCD display including programming sequence, current selection number, total CD playing time. individual track playing time and total CD elapsed time.

Carver DTL-200MK2 CD Player High End Vintage 1987 Looks great! had this for many years but havent used recently as I stream alot. plays well but sometimes doesnt start right at the beginning of a song and very occasionally skips. probably a lens cleaning issue or perhaps an adjustment within that I would know nothing about. very high end in its day and has always been dependable. matches other items in that group so I may sell them later. comes with original remote will need AA batteries. rate it 9/10 on looks with no heavy scratches on unit and perfect glass and all lights work. sold as-is and as described. receiver not included. thanks for looking! will have more electronics soon as I have a stereo in almost every room. US BIDDERS AND ADDRESSES ONLY PLEASE!!

I have a vintage Carver DTL-200MK2 high end CD player. It was made in Japan and released in the year 1987. It has Digital Time Lens (DTL) and it looks like it can be rack mountable. Its powered by a regular 2-prong power cord. I plugged it in and the front screen appears to work just fine and all the functions appear to work as they should as well. This includes the power on/off button. However, the open/eject button appears to not work. The CD tray will not open no matter what I do. Also, the disc error light above the CD tray is solid red all the time while turned on. So I am unable to properly test this Carver CD player. I do not know if its a function issue with the button. When I press the open/eject button, it does shows DISC on the screen, which means its trying to open the tray. I do not even hear the motor working at all, so maybe its the motor or belt. Either way, I do not have the knowledge to figure out what the issue is or how to repair it. The power cord also has a nick on it. I added a photo showing what I am referring too, but it looks superficial and just at the surface. It does not affect the power, though maybe if you do get this CD player to work, protect the area from further damage by putting some electric tape around it. This Carver CD player unit has been used before and was in storage for a good amount of time and does have wear and tear. This includes some scratches and markings on the case, as well as some of the silver coloring on the front has rubbed off in some small areas. But physically, it appears to still be in decent condition. But because of the disc reading error and the CD tray not opening up, I am unable to fully test it and that is why I have it marked for parts, or not working. You can use it for parts or repair, but I am selling it as is, no returns and no refunds. You can review the photos provided for this listing to get a better idea of the overall look and condition of this item. If you have any questions, or need more photos to help make a decision, feel free to send me a message. Please note, the color of this item may look different in the photos due to lighting.
