audio recording products. Available in Japan
and overseas markets, the company’s IC
recorder stores sound in a flash memory chip.
The chip can store 8 minutes of sound in
standard mode or 16 minutes in extended play
mode. There is space for up to 198 entries
divided between two files. Operation is easy:
This personal component stereo system includes a five-disc MD changer to
break new ground in recording convenience. Even complex editing tasks are a
snap thanks to a motorized amplifier control panel and large-screen display.
the recorder can be controlled with just one
hand. Audio memos of interviews and confer-
ences, and keeping track of appointments are
just a few of its many possible applications.
This MD Walkman fits in a pocket with ease. Never before has it been so easy to enjoy dynamic MD sound.
