Glossary
AE
The AE (Auto Exposure) function
automatically adjusts the exposure based on
the brightness of the object as determined by
the camera.
AF
The AF (Auto Focus) function adjusts the
focus automatically.
ATRAC3plus
ATRAC3plus is an enhanced version of
ATRAC3. Compared to ATRAC3 (used
in LP2 and LP4 mode), which attains a
compression ratio 10 times higher than that of
a CD, ATRAC3plus (used in Hi-SP and Hi-LP
mode) achieves a higher compression ratio
that is 20 times higher than that of a CD, but
with no loss in sound quality.
CMOS
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) is a semiconductor that can
convert optical signals into electric signals.
DCF
DCF (Design rule for Camera File) system,
is a standard determined by JEITA (Japan
Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association).
DSP TYPE-S for ATRAC/ATRAC3
This player supports DSP TYPE-S, a
specification for high-level Sony MiniDisc
decks equipped with digital signal processors
(DSP). This specification allows the player
to produce high-quality sound from tracks
recorded in MDLP mode. Since it retains
DSP TYPE-R support, the player produces
superior results during recording or playback
in SP (normal stereo) mode.
Exif
Exif is a file format that allows you to
add information such as recording data
determined by JEITA (Japan Electronics
and Information Technology Industries
Association).
Format
When you format a disc, all the data
(including audio data) on the disc are erased
so that you can save new data.
Hi-MD
“Hi-MD” is a new MiniDisc format.
Incorporating the new ATRAC3plus audio
compression technology, Hi-MD is a
new recording format that delivers longer
recording times than standard MD discs.
Hi-MD discs can also be used as a computer
storage medium for non-audio data such as
text and still images. For more details on Hi-
MD, refer to the supplied flyer “What you can
do with the Hi-MD Walkman.”
