Remarks

• Based on MDS-JE 500, the previous model, but has a digital coaxial output in addition. Better analogue recordings than JE-500 due to new A/D converter (stereo vote, see below).

On the back of the unit there is an off switch (slider). This allows the unit to be switched off completely (as with the JE-700 and JE 500). After the MD deck has been switched off for a longer period of time, this should not be forgotten ...
