playback device
Audio replay equipment
A playback device is any equipment that reproduces recorded audio or video: a turntable, cassette player, DVD player, or smartphone.
The term emphasizes the device's function of playing back previously recorded content rather than recording or broadcasting: Connect your playback device to the speakers.
In legal and technical contexts, it distinguishes players from recording equipment.
