Can't say I dissagree. But I assume the reaction at the time was simply

the UK may have reacted quite differently for all I know. I suspect NHK
might have favoured Sony over Philips. 8-]

I doubt any broadcaster would have used a domestic product anyway. A pro
machine would have needed things like remote start facilities even then.
And balanced outputs, etc.

Think the first pro CD player I saw was Denon. Or possibly Studer. No idea
what chipset they used.
