Avec le développement technique sont apparus divers types de lecteurs optiques, non plus réservés à la lecture de la piste sonore des films cinématographiques, mais destinés également à l'interprétation des différents codes ou caractères utilisés dans le commerce (le «code universel des produits», par exemple), en photocomposition, etc. Cette situation justifierait donc que l'on utilise, dans le cas qui nous occupe, «lecteur de piste sonore» plutôt que «lecteur optique». 2, record 1, French, - lecteur%20optique
