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

•Low power consumption design —Runs on a single ”chewing gum” type rechargeable battery.

•Simultaneous labeling feature — No more waiting for the recording to end; you can label tracks and discs while the MD is being recorded.

•9-letter, backlit LCD remote control with editing capabilities — You can now label tracks and discs, change track sequence, etc., with the easy-to-operate stick remote controller.

•Shock-resistant memory — Offsets up to 40 seconds of optical read errors.

•High-fidelity recording — Low-noise, low-distortion, high-fidelity recording through the optical digital input jack.

•Digital synchro-recording — When recording from a digital equipment with optical output, the recorder automatically starts and pauses recording in sync with operation on the digital source.

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

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