I don't know if the rumors of the Sony CD "Walkman" have been put
to bed, so please excuse me if this is old info.

From a Woodward & Lothrop ad in The Washington Post (Washington, D.C.),
Thursday, November 15, page A7:

     "Introducing the portable Discman(R),
     Sony's on the move again.

     "Sale 300 orig. 350

     "Here's the latest addition to the Sony family:
     the Discman.  Just 5x5 1/4 inches and less than
     21 ounces, it's the world's first portable disc
     player.  In one burst of brilliant technology,
     Sony has created a system that not only plugs
     into your home stereo and boom box, but
     unplugs to become a terrific portable.  With
     digital audio you'll thrill to flawless sound that
     surpasses all previously accepted limitations of
     high fidelity.  Comes complete with AC
     adaptor.  Battery pack and headphones
     optional.  To hear just how good portable
     sound can be, stop by and listen to the new
     Sony Discman."

The ad included a non-descript illustration (not a photo) which
did not further clarify anything.  I didn't see the unit, so I
can't add to or clarify any of the above.

Thought I'd pass this on since I haven't seen it in the audio mags
or in the Portland (Oregon) papers or stores.
