The Oakcastle CD125 is a portable CD player designed for personal audio playback, supporting various disc formats and offering several playback and sound customization features. It also includes a TF card slot for playing digital audio files and can be connected to external AUX devices.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Oakcastle CD125 is to play audio from CDs. It is compatible with CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, WMA, and HDCD formats. In addition to disc playback, the device features a TF card slot, allowing users to play MP3 files from a TF card up to 32GB.
The player offers multiple playback modes, including Repeat 1 (repeats the current track), Repeat All (repeats all tracks), Random Play (shuffles tracks), and Preview Play (plays the first 10 seconds of each track). Users can also program up to 30 tracks in a specific order.
Sound customization is available through an equalizer (EQ) function, offering 5 sound effects: BBS, POP, JAZZ, ROCK, and CLASSIC. The device also includes an A-B repeat function, allowing users to repeat a specific segment of a track.
For connectivity, the CD125 has a 3.5mm earphone port for private listening and can be connected to external AUX devices such as home theatre systems, music centers, Bluetooth speakers, vehicles, and headphone amplifiers using the supplied 3.5mm to 3.5mm AUX cable.
The player is powered by a built-in lithium-ion polymer battery and is charged via a USB to Type-C USB charging cable. It features a charging LED indicator that shows red during charging and turns green when fully charged. A low battery symbol appears on the screen when charging is needed.
A "HOLD" switch is provided to lock all buttons, preventing accidental operations. The device also has a "Last Memory" function, which can be toggled on or off. When "ON," the player will return to the last stop-track on the disc; when "OFF," it will not.
