TEAC DJ-505 HDD & CD Digital Audio Recorder

This item is a TEAC DJ-505 digital audio recording system, a consumer electronics device from the early-to-mid 2000s designed for high-fidelity audio capture and playback. The unit features a sleek silver metallic finish on a rectangular metal chassis with a plastic front bezel. The front panel includes a disc tray for CD recording and playback on the left, an oval-shaped liquid crystal display (LCD) in the center, and a series of playback controls including a circular navigation pad and tactile buttons on the right. Notable markings include the TEAC logo and distinctive 'HDD' branding, indicating its capability to record to an internal hard disk drive. The system is accompanied by its original large-format remote control, which features a secondary LCD screen and numerous blue-tinted buttons, and the official printed owner's manual. The visible condition appears good with minor surface scuffing on the top casing and some creasing on the manual, though the remote appears well-preserved. It represents a transitional period in home audio technology between physical media and purely digital file-based systems.
