Amstrad TS99.

HI GUYS nice to be back with another question , my amstrad tower is now fully working ,however it has no input provision , i want to use my old CD player with it , i thought of using an fm transmitter as used in cars to get the signal picked up by the radio , but am i missing a trick ?i guess my sugar wasnt thinking of this when he manufactured it

If it has a cassette deck why not use a cassette adaptor to plug the CD player in, or you could use an FM modulator as you say, somebody here can probably tell you how to add an input bus that's more involved.

The cassette adaptors are cheap enough, but the quality of the sound is pretty bad in my experience.

then its either fm modulator or someone tells him how to add an input, no disrespect to the op but Amstrad stereos where not great at the best of times

If you can find a Panasonic one then it should be reasonably good. I had one included with a portable CD player which sounded great through a good car system (using the original B&W LM1 speakers). Before that I had one from Tandy which sounded terrible.

It's all relative. As the owner of a humble TS56 in my youth, I was seriously jealous of my friend's TS99!!
