[?] Quoting [with annotations]: Pioneer Electronics has announced the company's first CD player for use in cars. The CDX-1 is slated for release in January 85, making it one of the first autosound CD players manufactured in this country [you read that right -jm]. Despite the sophistication of the CD and laser technology, the CDX-1 is compatable with virtually any existing car stereo that used a standard built-in amplifier or RCA-type pre-outs if a separate adapter is used. The biggest hurdles facing manufacturers of car CD players are size, vibration and heat. ... separating the CDX-1 system into 2 distinct [as opposed to indistinct? -jm] modules - an operating module, and a hideaway processing module. The operating module ... fist into most standard-sized car-stereo dashboard cavaties. The processing module ... fits in a remote location, such as under a seat. An anti-vibration eliminates [read "minimizes" -jm] tracking error, and a doorless, dustproof [nothing is dustproof -jm] disk insertion slot protects the disk from scratches, stains and cigarette smoke. The unit also includes a temperature-controlled automatic shutoff [as opposed to a temperature-controlled manual shutoff -jm]. For price info, contact Bob Thomas and Assoc. 835 Hopkins Way, Redondo Beach CA 90277. No Endorsement is Intended. I don't even own a car expensive enough for one of these babies. I don't even own one for my house.
