Yesterday we showed you the AEI CD-i 220 player, a licensed Philips CD-i 220 model branded Prodisc and AEI. AEI was a company active in background music, and it used CD-i as a base for its CD-BGM technology, as CD-BGM was fully compatible on every CD-i player. After CD-i was over, AEI continued to use CD-i technology in their own Prodisc players, like this Prodisc DS from 2002.
CD-i member Patrick Selten explains it from a rare flyer: "ProDisc DS is a player for both CD-i and standard CDs. With the latest CD-i technology, you get "High Quality Sound" for many years in continuous operation. Music for commercial use ProDisc DS, player for AEI-Music, professional music on CD-i, with full 4 hours of playing time per disc. The best music for your business.
Additional amplifiers can be reconnected more speakers are needed. External audio sources such as advertising tape recorder and evacuation alarm can be integrated and automatically get priority over music and microphone. The music fades out When microphone or external audio sources are used, the music is toned down."
ProDisc DS is integrated with the most standard products within sound technology. Easy to handle
- A minimum of buttons for easiest possible operation.
- "Open / close" opens the CD cover.
- "Remix" plays randomly.
- "Play / stop" start / stop.
- "Skip" jump to the next song.
- "Volume" sets the sound level.
- "Power" switch.
- Volume, bass and treble
- The controls can be preset and locked, if desired
