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.

built-in clock allows you to record the
date and time whenever you make a
recording.
