▸PMD-P1

Easy Operation + Long Battery Life

Unlike Pioneer's own audio products with a dignified and formal style, the silver-white PMD-P1 features a unique geometric design.

Diverging from the intricate shell mechanism of conventional disc players, the PMD-P1, with its sleek silver appearance, employs geometric lines to create a distinctive style. The One Touch horizontal disc loading/unloading mechanism operates smoothly and intuitively, avoiding the complexity of traditional hinged covers. However, the Slot-In design occupies more space, making the device relatively hefty. Although the official claim of a slim body achieved through the use of a thin spindle motor and mechanism may sound somewhat forced.

The rechargeable battery boasts an astonishing 10-hour battery life, but the external battery case, usually provided as an accessory, is available for purchase (¥2,000).

Equipped with an LCD remote control featuring a small screen disproportionate to the overall size, it displays English/numbers/katakana and comes with a detachable 3.5mm headphone jack, offering full compatibility with headphones of various brands.

Unlike typical portable audio players that offer color options, Pioneer uniquely provides storage pouches (City Type PMD-P1-C, Field Type PMD-P1-F) corresponding to two different models.

Additionally, it comes with an exclusive one-year damage and theft insurance, showcasing Pioneer's thoughtful differentiation in the homogeneous market.
