Go to the CEDmagic.com website and look at the CED museum. It would be tedious; but, you could go through the descriptions of each player and find out the ones that are mono.

Go to http://manuals.lddb.com/CED_Players/ for a copy of the SJT-400 service manual. Hopefully, there is not much of a difference between the SJT and the SKT models.
