Compact discs aren't supposed to skip, but try telling that to anyone who owns a car CD player. Potholes and speed bumps can wreak havoc on playback. A CD skips when the reading laser is jolted so hard the beam cannot track along the spiral of pits moulded into the disc.

A DVD recorder available right now, and for only $1,500? Surely it couldn't be true? It wasn't. I'd misread the press release. Yet in one way, Hitachi's DV-W1A is even more exciting than a DVD recorder. The left-hand tray of this machine will play back either DVDs or CDs. The right-hand tray not only plays back CDs but will record on them as well, and it accepts either write-once CD-R discs or the completely reuseable CD-RW blanks.It's As Easy As Cdr
