Capable of digitally recording CDs and other DATs, the recorder goes head to head against the wishes of the music industry, which threatened to sue makers that offered DAT machines to U.S. consumers. Although aimed at all buyers, not many can afford the two-piece recorder-processor system: It's $10,000</P> <P>Popular Science Dec.

If you like lots of music, there's the Hitachi 6+6. It's the first CD player that uses two six-disc cassettes for playing up to 12 discs. The player can be programmed to play cuts and discs sequentially, randomly, or in any order you choose. A digital display indicates the number of discs available and the disc that is in use. It's $449.</P> <P>PS Dec.

No more. The Hughes Aircraft Co.'s Sound Retrieval System uses only two speakers to simulate as many others as needed. The electronic circuit shifts specific frequencies to trick your ears into believing they're hearing multiple sound sources.</P> <P>PS Dec.
