It's one of the rarest models on the market. Anybody got a user manual ? It's based on Philips drive and belongs to a friend. Kind of temperental player. Supposedly studio version and very expensive back in a day. I borrowed it to try and it sounds absolutely average. Never heard Micromega player before but the brand had strong following and this was one of their more ambitious designs. I will open it up tomorrow to see if there is something fishy inside.
Absolutely no chance of finding the slightest draft of a service manual or diagram for this device which is as common as blonde unicorns.
Micromega never (or almost never) released a service manual and they died taking everything to their graves in 2007.
The current Micromega company no longer has anything to do with the old one.

Well , It's not really a Micromega except the name. Philips made it and it was sold on pro market under Marantz CDR-1 , Carver PdR-10 , Micromega Solo-R and probably other brands as well. First accessible CD recorder for small studios a $3k cost. CDM14 drive and SAA7350 Bitstream DAC . Nice cast chassis and good components. Standard OpAmp output stage with Nichicon Muse coupling caps. The one I have at home was owned by savages so it's pretty much worthless. Thin sound of early players but I have several top units at the moment so I may be biased.
