MP-3
,/* Service Manual */
The '''MP-3''' is a TV Modulator Tuner with RGB output for viewing TV channels on the CPC's [[CTM640/CTM644|CTM644]] colour monitor.
* The MP-3 uses 12V supply from the monitor (thus works only with CTM644, but not with CTM640).

According to the "boxed" photo, the Tuner (demodulator) was accidently shipped as "modulator" (the opposite meaning).
== Review by Gryzor ==
This was NOT an MP3 player by Amstrad, yet it was quite a nice product to have. It was a device that you could connect to your monitor and turn it into a nice television set for your bedroom. Quality and reception was not stellar, but still it was very good value for money. Don't imagine any fancy stuff like watching TV in a window or anything - the tuner just used the monitor for its output.
It was an interesting reversal of logic: the CPCs shipped with monitors in order to free the home TV from computer use - and then was turned into a TV set itself.
