Rather than

have speakers

all

around,

some

people

prefer

to cuddle

up on

the couch

with a pair

of

head-

phones.

as

well. Nady's

infrared

move around

the

room

free of the

restraining

effects

of

a headphone

cord.

Besides the

headphones,

there

is an

infrared

stereo

transmitter

that plugs

into any stereo

or tape

deck's

head-

phone jack.

An

infrared signal

is trans-

mitted to a

sensor

on top

of the

One product

that

attempts

to solve

the

problem

of stolen

cars,

that

is -is something

called

If your car

has been

broken

into

once

too

often, you

can

install

the

DriveMan

your dashboard

hid-

den from

view,

this

car

-sound

device

makes

a prospective

thief

think

you do

not have anything

worth

stealing.

To use

it,

you

need to connect

the output

a

Walkman /Discman

type

The DriveMan

will then boost

the audio

output

drive the car
