Welcome lo the world of the MiniDisc! The Sony MiniDisc Recorder is the result of
Sony's on-going commitment to leadership in audio-video technology. Here are
some of the capabilities and features you'll discover with the new MiniDisc Recorder.
CD-like performance
• Direct access to up to 25 tracks
through your remote
commander, just like a CD player.
• A music calendar
that shows at a glance which track is
being played back, recorded or edited. A grid display
function provides easy distinction between premastered
and recordable discs.
• Convenient playback functions
such as shuffle play,
program play, music scan, and repeat (all tracks, a single
track or a specific portion).
• A digital peak meter
for accurate signal level monitoring
during input and output.
• Timer-activated playback and recording
using an
optional timer.
An array of special features
• A title function
for creating titles of up to 1(X) characters
for recorded discs and traclb.
• An AMS (Automatic Music Sensor) dial
for quick and
easy access to specific tracks.
•
Instant delete function
for an entire disc or a single track.
• Multiple TOC (Table Of Contents)-based editing
functions
that allow you to divide, combine and move
tracks with ease. Sound monitoring during track division
is also supported.
•
Track marking function
for automatic or manual addition
of track numbers while recording.
State-of-the-art technology
• ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) data
compression technology
with a compression ratio of
about 1:5, providing almost the same disc playing time as
a CD.
•
Professional level memory start function
for fast
playback resumption during play pause. Sound is output
from an internal memory rather than the disc to eliminate
delays due to disc rotation lag (of about 0.1 to 0.3 seconds).
•
Automatic date and time stamp function
for recordings.
Multi-purpose input and output jacks
•
Digital I/O and analog I/O jacks
to accomodate a variety
of sound sources. Connect digital sound sources for direct,
adjustment-free playback or dubbing of digital sound.
