high pitched sound quality>> <speaker> adopts.
- The high specific gravity resin with excelling in the rigidity and
special a material is used for the cabinet material. Moreover, the
(*raundoforum*) style of three dimension shape can be adopted, the
fixed provinces wave which causes tone quality the adverse effect be
suppressed as much as possible, and a faithful high pitched sound
quality to the input signal reproduce. (*uufah*) of the HOP vibration
board : by adopting a strong magnetic circuit, and building monaural
amplifier (20W×2) to which each channel is independent into.; *** The
bass reproduction with power is achieved small.; In addition, the
reproduction of the high pitched sound (*sofutodohmutuiitah*) is
adopted in (*tuiitah*), and with the expansion is achieved.
- 2. [It] records from CD to MD at the twice velocity.
- It is possible to record from CD to MD at the twice velocity. For
instance, it will be possible to record to MD in 37 minutes of 74
minutes CD on hand.
- - The same tune cannot be high-speed recorded again
within 74 minutes from begin the high-speed recording by HCMS (high
speed copy management system).
- 3. The personal computer can control sound sources other than
MD by attached software “M-Crew".
- [It] ties directly with the USB cable besides the function which
can be achieved by ‘Net MD', music in the personal computer the file
is output to ‘CMT-C7NT' with USB, and the high pitched sound quality
can reproduce if software “M-Crew for CMT-C7NT" of the attachment is
installed in the personal computer. It is possible to do from the
personal computer from CD to the twice velocity recording to MD and
the operation of the FM/AM tuner.
