Welcome!
Welcome to 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.
An array of special features
• A
title function for creating title of up to 100 characters for
recorded discs and fracks.
• Instant delete function for an entire disc or a single track.
• Multiple TOC-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, analog I/O, and microphone input jacks to
accomodate a variety of sound sources. Connect digital
sound sources for direct, adjustment-free playback or
dubbing of digital sound.
Audio (AU) bus interface for connection with future Sony
Mini Hi-Fi Component Systems supporting CD synchro-
recording and other automatic functions.
