About the Sony D-50

The Sony D-50 (sold as the D-5 in some markets), launched in November 1984, was the world’s first portable CD player and started the Discman line. It predates electronic skip protection. Check that it reads discs cleanly and whether the power supply or battery pack is included.

What affects the price

  • Whether it reads discs without skipping (a weak laser is the common fault).
  • Battery compartment corrosion, the lid latch and the AC adapter.
  • Anti-skip (ESP) working, and cosmetic condition.
