Welcome!

Welcome to the world of the MiniDisc! Here are some of the capabilities and features you'll discover with the new MiniDisc Recorder.

•MiniDisc station — This model consists of a portable MD recorder and a detachable station. You can record programs in digital signals or label tracks by attaching the recorder to the station. You can also play MDs or record programs from the MIC jack only with the recorder.

•Optical digital IN/OUT jack — Since the signal is transmitted in digital form, you can get high quality recordings.

•Sampling rate converter — This circuit enables you to record programs from digital equipment using other sampling rates, such as a BS tuner or DAT deck.

•Long recording with monaural sound — You can record up to 148 minutes on a disc using monaural recording.

•Easy editing with the station's LCD panel — You can label MDs easily using the 20 characters×4 lines LCD panel and cursor keys on the station.

•Title samples — This model offers 42 samples of words and phrases that are frequently used for the title of a disc or track.

•"Kana" characters available — You can enter "Katakana" characters for a title of the disc or the track.

•Position pointer — The display shows you the current location on the disc.

•Date and time stamp function — The built-in clock allows you to record the date and time whenever you make a recording.

•Title function — You can see disc and track titles in the display while you are playing/recording an MD.
