1.1.The Features

With the MiniDisc, Sony has created a revolutionary optical disc. It offers all the features that music fans have been waiting for.

Quick Random Access

The MiniDisc offers quick random access to the music selection or phrase of your choice; something only a disc is capable of.

Total Durability

The MiniDisc can never stretch, break or tangle like cassette tapes. Since the free floating optical pick-up never touches the surface, scratches are impossible.

Superb Compactness

The MiniDisc itself is only approximately 64 mm in diameter, and the cartridge is 72 x 68 x 5 mm. And because the MiniDisc is smaller, so is the MiniDisc player.

Shock-Resistant Portability

The MiniDisc is resistant against shocks and vibrations. New technology, using an advanced semiconductor memory, provides almost total shock resistance so there is no skipping and jitter even while jogging or driving.

Easy to Handle

The disc is protected in a cartridge. It is easy to handle and the ideal sound carrier for mobile use.

Unsurpassed Digital Sound

The MiniDisc is based on the same noiseless and distortion-free digital recording technology as the compact disc. So whether you are recording your own or listening to prerecorded music, you have the optimum in audio quality wherever you go.

Recordable Disc

4 Track Recording: “A disc which records” is every music fan’s dream come true. The MiniDisc offers about 74 minutes digital recording on one tiny disc.
