Sony MZ-G755 Notes, About the DSP TYPE-Rfor ATRAC

About the DSP TYPE-R for ATRAC

“TYPE-R” is a high-level Sony specification used in the Digital Signal Processor (DSP), which is heart of the MiniDisc sound. This technology gives the MiniDisc recorder twice the signal processing capability as previous MiniDisc Walkman models, producing a sound quality close to that of MiniDisc decks. This unit supports the “TYPE-R” function only during recording or playback in normal stereo mode. It does not support this function in MDLP mode.

Notes

•If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the battery is removed or becomes exhausted or the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during a recording or editing operation, or while “TOC Edit” appears in the display, then it will not be possible to open the lid until power is restored.

•You can make a digital recording only from an optical type output.

•When recording from a portable CD player, set the CD player to pause, and then do the recording procedure on the recorder.

•Note the following when recording from a portable CD player:

—Some portable CD players may not be capable of digital out unless powered by the AC power.

—Connect the AC power adaptor to the portable CD player and use it on AC power as the power source.

—Disable any anti-skip function (such as ESP*) on the portable CD player.
