Technical data[edit]
- ATRAC DSP Type-R / ATRAC 3 (newly developed compression system, not comparable with the earlier designations of the ATRAC system) - data reduction, allowing more memory = more titles on one MD
- Power consumption: 18 W
- Error correction: ACIRC
- Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz
- Frequency response: 5-20,000 Hz
- Signal to noise ratio: >100 dB
- Modulation system EFM
- Long Time Stereo Recording (LP2 and LP4)
- VC24 Plus Digital Filter
Special features[edit]
- MDLP: Longplay / stereo/ mono recording/ playback (doubling of recording time in stereo on LP2 (quality disputed), quadrupling on LP4 with moderate quality)
- For text input - connection of a PC keyboard possible
- Front panel made of aluminium, the silver model has a polished finish
- Sony QS series - Upscale and more expensive series (upper class and top class segment)
- Digital volume control of the headphones through the remote control
- Fading for recording and playback possible (remote control)
- Device can split, join, move, delete tracks
