The latest entertainment technology offers motorists the highest standard of sound reproduction for the car.
The Compact Disc (CD) is winning over more and more technology lovers who are seeking the highest standard of sound reproduction.
In a development from the the Sony Discman compact portable CD Player, there are now CD players for those who enjoy listening to music in their car.
For many a CD player just for the car is unaffordable and,
If you've already invested in a good radio cassette player, you may not want to go out and buy a whole new CD unit.
However a compromise is available. By using a cassette shaped adapter it is possible to transmit the sound from a portable CD player through a standard car radio cassette deck and speakers.
So you can enjoy CD quality without replacing your old system.
A step up from this system is the Sony DiscJockey. This CD changer housed in the car boot, allows the driver to select and play from up to 10 discs. From the comfort of the driving seat the motorist operates the DiscJockey using a control panel.
You don’t have to stop the car and open the boot every time you want to play a disc.
Providing 15 hours of continuous music, the Sony DiscJockey is ideal for long road trips.
'Zero' was a magazine-style programme covering developments in science and technology. The first programme was broadcast on 7 January 1987 - the series ran until 1989.
This edition of 'Zero’ was broadcast on 2 November 1987. The reporter is Brian Hayes.
