Matsushita has announced a 4.96" x 4.96" x 1.26" CD player to be marketed
in the US as the Technics SL-XP7 this August (6/10/85 Electronics Week).
They claim that the unit tracks better than the Sony D5 and is in the 90db
rather than 85db class.

Did anyone see it at CES or does anyone know anything else? I'm very
impressed with the Sony units (I have a CDP-302) and was looking for a
portable. The Sony D5 is neat, but the Matsushita may be better for the
same bucks (they both list for $300).
