Most CD-i 180 sets that we have seen have a 120V input, no documentation left and no original box anymore. But this one is different, it includes all this. Thanks to CD-i member Toon for sharing with us these pictures of his mint CD-i 180/181 set. It is the first official Philips CD-i player that was built by Kyocera. You can buy this unit, check out our community here. The CD-i 180 set has a modular approach, each component has its own purpose and in the early years developer New Media Systems even prototyped a MSX2 component. The orginal CD-i Mouse and Keyboard are specific versions that will only work on the CD-i 180 set. The CD-i 180 set was actually Philips' all time first CD-i system. Jointly developed in 1988 by Philips and Japanese Kyocera. The CDI 18x system was modular, only the CD drive (CDI 180) and the MultiMedia Controller (CDI 181) were needed to operate. The CDI 182 module could be added for authoring purposes, featuring two floppy disk drives, SCSI and parallel ports and an additional 1 MB of RAM. The system could not be extended with a Digital Video cartridge. So next to the newer CD-i 605, the CD-i 180 was one of two existing CD-i players with authoring capabilities.
