CDTV was a consumer device, launched to compete with Philip's CDi. It's basically an Amiga 500 without keyboard or disk drive - instead it comes with a CD-ROM drive.
As you can see, it could be turned into a fully fledged computer by adding a disk drive and keyboard.
It was a disaster, mainly due to the poor expansion possibilities and the lack of support from third parties.
The machine also caused confusion. Those who wanted a computer claimed it wasn't a computer, while others claimed it was too much like a computer.
