	Hello laser's hears
                                        
	I have to go to New-York before Christmas and I would like to bring
	back a <portable> compact disc player. (SONY DISCMAN or similar)
                                                                        
	As I am not familiar with the current models, I would be greatful
	for any advice as to quality, value for money and where I can buy
	them in New-York city.

	Thanks and regards,

	A froggy cousin.

	 To the best of my knoledge, you should get the new Sony
	 D-10.   It is the smallest, flattest, best (almost anything
	 that end with "..est").   It also have the best tracking of
	 all portable.    In the big Apple you should be able to
	 get one with the battery pack for around $US215.00.   You
	 can also buy options (like a remote) for an extra 40-50 $.

	 But BEWARE, as I understand you are from an other side of the
	 pound, your  waranty will be only valid in the States,
	 you should contact your local Sony depot and ask if you
	 can buy a waranty for a foreign D-10.    All portables
	 offer only these waranties.   If you can find a D-10
	 that comes with international warranty, you may pay 
	 much more $$.
	 
	 If you do not want Sony, Toshiba came out with one that
	 looks pretty good.

	 In any cases avoid any players that are NOT Made in Japan.


	 Amuse toi bien aux �tats-Unis....

    Buy a copy of the New York Times newspaper when you get to town
    and you will find many advertisements for low-price stores.

    re:.-2  Warranty
    
    I just bought a TECHNICS portable CD player for someone in Germany.
    They will accept the warranty there on a local basis ( German law
    says 90 days or 6 months, I do not remember).
    The shop where she bought the 220 adaptor also took her 110 adaptor
    in for cash since they needed it (may bor the american base in
    Munich ;-))
    
    SO maybe you are lucky!

    	Any opinions on the Sony DT-3 portable?? I have a rain check
    from Service Merchandise for $217. It's an AM/FM/CD portabe. Based
    on the D-3? Right?

    Yes, the DT-3 is a D-3 with a tuner.
