Commentary
An MD deck that supports I. LINK for high-speed music download and MD editing by connecting to Vaio.
It supports I. LINK and, in combination with Sony's DST-MS9 digital CS tuner with an I. LINK connector, allows you to download your favorite songs at 4 x speed from the SkyPerfecTTV! music distribution channel.
In addition, it is compatible with MDclip for the first time on MD-deck, and by connecting with Vaio through I. LINK, it is possible to edit and play back MD-incorporating images and messages.
By using MDclip Editor, it is possible to input Kanji and Hiragana characters from the Vaio keyboard (only English and Kana characters are displayed on the main body).
In addition to the ATRAC DSP, we have newly developed and adopted the TYPE-R DSP for ATRAC, which has twice the signal processing capability of the conventional DSP. In addition, by adopting the newly developed Intelligent Bit Relocation Algorithm, we maximize the increased processing capability and reanalyze the spectrum converted data. This enables us to search for minute levels of redundant bit allocation that have been difficult to detect until now the frequency bands that are important for listening. This further refines the bit allocation and brings it closer to the waveform of the original music source.
Discs recorded with TYPE-R DSPs for ATRAC can be played on MD decks that do not use TYPE-R DSPs.
Wide Bit Stream Technology has been introduced to enable recording and playback with a wide dynamic range by increasing the dynamic range of the ATRAC DSP and the audio data word length of peripheral circuits such as digital in / out from the previous 16 bits to more bits.
It is equipped with a sampling rate converter that automatically converts 32 kHz and 48 kHz sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz.
Equipped with digital REC level control, the gain can be controlled from - ∞ dB to + 12 dB at the center of gain 0 dB.
It is equipped with a music sync function. Simply by pressing the music sync button on the remote control and then starting performance on the connected device, it senses the input of a music signal and automatically starts recording.
Equipped with an advanced time machine recording function, you can record up to 30 seconds in advance.
You can DIVIDE, COMBINE, and MOVE songs, and it also has an UNDO function to cancel the last edit operation if you make a mistake.
It is equipped with a rehearse function that allows you to check edit points in COORDINATE or DIVIDE.
To move edit points, you can fine-tune the DIVIDE edit point in minutes, seconds, or frames (approximately 0.01 seconds).
Equipped with an A-B ERASE function that allows you to erase between two specified points in a song.
It is equipped with a title function that can record up to 1,700 characters of disc names and song titles on the disc.
In addition to alphabets, numbers and symbols, katakana characters are also supported. You can input characters from the FOMA phone or remote controller during recording or playback.
The SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) allows digital recording only for one generation and does not allow digital recording for the second or later generations. However, some programs from CS broadcasting cannot be recorded.
MD in monaural format is play-only.
Equipped with a smart space function.
Wireless remote control is included.
