What was a 2002 portable CD player?
In 2002 the portable CD was at its slimmest. Cases were round or flat, keys shrank to a ring of tiny buttons, and a pair of AA cells could last a long trip. Playback of home-burned MP3 discs spread and a disc held hours of music.
What do you see and touch on the CT790?
Two black AA batteries in a holder, with wires, sit above the case. The disc is silver with a transparent golden ring at the hub. The black case has a toothed rim made of small keys along its lower arc, a latch on the right and a little lever hanging at lower right.
Disc spins, the carriage slides, and the highlight does not rotate.

Which sound settings suit the CT790?
Stay neutral. Hiss and wobble off, saturation small. The equalizer Flat or Vocal preset suits it. For a long listening session, try the night light mode so the machine stays bright and everything else dims.
Is the 2002 CD Player free or PRO?
The CT790 shows the battery details others hide. It belongs to REWIND PRO: weekly $2.99, yearly $19.99 with a 3-day free trial, or lifetime $24.99 once. Without PRO you still get 8 machines, plus analog sound and the equalizer on all of them.
