The CD Player is a portable disc player that runs on batteries. It plays CDs found in the world and helps a survivor beat boredom.
It suits anyone spending long hours indoors at a base. Music and audiobooks keep boredom down, which helps the overall mood. Its main cost is battery drain, since it runs a battery down while it plays.
CD Players are common in music stores, CD stores and band practice rooms. Homes and pawn shops hold them too. The Electrician is the best occupation for electronics. It starts with the most Electrical skill. The Engineer also starts with some Electrical skill.
Using
The player has to be equipped in the primary or secondary hand to operate. A CD goes into it, and the disc then plays track by track. Headphones or earbuds can be used with it.
Played aloud, the sound carries about fifteen tiles around the listener.
A broken or unwanted CD Player can be taken apart with the Dismantle Electronic Item recipe. A screwdriver does the work and is kept. The player gives Scrap Electronics and a second part. That part may be an Amplifier, a Motion Sensor, a Receiver or more Scrap Electronics.
Upkeep
A fresh battery gives the player a fair run of play before it dies. When the battery runs flat, a new one goes in and the player works again. Spare batteries are worth keeping near the disc collection.
