Compact Disc Players
 
Since their introduction in 1983, compact discs have become the best recording medium for music.  Unlike record albums and tapes, compact discs cannot be damaged with normal use.

A standard-sized compact disc is less than five inches in diameter and is capable of storing up to 75 minutes of digitally encoded music.  Each disc contains billions of tiny puts that represent musical signals with numeric codes.  A beam of laser light reads these pits and converts the codes into musical signals.

Compact disc players have a wide variety of features.  The following list will help you chose exactly what you would like in a compact disc player.

  • Wireless remote control allows you to program, play, pause, skip, repeat, and perform a variety of other functions without being at the compact disc player.
