Re: Magnovox CD Model# FD2040SL12

It is indeed a Philips player (only one "L").

I still have my Magnavox CDB 650, which was their top of the line
player at the time.

I still have an old issue of Audio magazine that proclaimed the CDB
650 to be the best CD player they had ever tested, at any price range.

Mine still works great and sounds great.  I also have a CDB 560, which
is also an excellent player.  I picked it up a couple of months ago
for 10 bucks.

The Philips players made in Belgium are among some of the best
bargains in home audio.  Many of the high-end European players of the
day used the same chipset as these old Magnavox players.

My honest opinion is that the Magnavox CD player you found can
probably stomp your DVD player into the ground, soundwise.  Keep it.
