What’s Included

CD 50n player and standard manufacturer accessories. Confirm the supplied remote, batteries, wireless antennas, power cord, connection cables, and documentation with The Grid HiFi before purchase.

Important Notes

External amplification and speakers are required and sold separately. HDMI ARC receives television audio; it is not a video-switching connection. SACD discs are not supported. Streaming services may require subscriptions, and some features require current firmware. Use the variable output with suitable volume settings when connecting directly to a power amplifier.
