Stereo recording/reproduction (MDLP) correspondence of MD for a long time Four model in MD deck sale -Four time velocity recording from CD to MD is possible in changer type -.

Five piece CD changer and MD deck ‘MXD-D5C'

The Sony marketing (The president:林誠宏(unknown word) and headquarters:(Inc.)Tokyo port district) puts the MD deck where MD corresponded to stereo recording (MDLP) for a long time in can the use of existing MD to twice and four times length on the market by four models. ‘MXD-D5C' is recorded from CD to MD at four time velocity in the CD+MD all-in-one design deck where five CD changer was installed, and corresponds to the high-speed MD recording function sooner or later. Moreover, [it] corresponds to four models and the recordings of the personal computer music file to MD.
In ‘MDS-S50', a compact size by which 280mm in the width of the main body and the depository places are not chosen and ‘MXD-D5C' ‘MDS-JB940' ‘MDS-JE640' are the sizes of the deck of 430mm.

Single goods deck is started after MD is commercialized in 1992, [it] is installed by a set stereo, car audio, and a portable player, etc. , and the demand of the customer who requests the extension of the recording time rises to MD which has established the position as the recording media of music. [It] became portable by which recording and reproduction function (MDLP) were installed in the MD deck for a long time so that [it] may satisfy such a demand, and MD may become an attractive format further more. As a result, the recording and the reproduction (both stereos) quadruple by the twice to possible for a long time for a long time for 160 minutes at most for long time of 320 minutes at most by the recording and the reproduction (LP2 mode) by using MD of 80 minutes in the recording time because of the recording and the reproduction (LP4 mode). It can be had to use it to record MD media on hand for a long time as it is now.
Harmony with the personal computer is improved further more, and moreover, light is output to the MD deck by way of the terminal USB, and music CD of the CD-ROM drive of the personal computer and music in personal computer not to mention concentrated control of the MD deck from the personal computer and the MD edit files can be recorded to MD digitally with personal computer connection kit “PCLK-MN10" (sale schedule in the end of September, standard price 15,000 yen, and excluding tax) of another sales. MD can be freely manipulated from personal computers such as a title character input and original label making.
In addition, four time velocity recording function to shorten the time recorded from CD to MD was installed in ‘MXD-D5C'. For instance, it will be possible to record to MD in 15 minutes in case of the music of CD1 hour. ^※1､2｡A high-speed recording which can effectively spend time when five pieces are selected from CD changer, and [it] records installing with programmed 曲順(unknown word) is possible.
Each model also pursues “TYPE-R" DSP for ATRAC which carefully does the bit distribution at a minute level of the sound and the achievement of tone quality near the adoption and the recording source is pursued. ^※3｡

- 1: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).
- 2:When [it] records and reproduction (MDLP) mode is selected for a long time, [it] becomes twice velocity.
- 3:When MDLP mode/is high-speed recorded, processing by “TYPE-R" DSP is not done.

- Main feature common to four models

1. The MD stereo recording for a long time and reproduction (MDLP) function are installed.

The stereo recording and the reproduction by the high pitched sound quality of 320 minute at most are possible in the LP4 mode by the adoption of “ATRAC3" with the compression efficiency of about twice the voice compression method of past MD and “ATRAC" for the voice data compression codec in MD of 80 minutes in the recording time in the LP2 mode for 160 minutes at most. It can be had to use it to record MD media on hand for a long time now.

- The player where the MDLP mode is not installed cannot reproduce the truck of MD recorded in the MDLP mode.

2. Variegated MD which uses the personal computer can be edited.

[It] connects it with a personal computer on hand, and if personal computer connection kit “PCLK-MN10" of another sales is used, the personal computer can operate, edit MD, and input the title of the MD deck. Moreover, light is output from the personal computer to the MD deck by way of USB, and music in music CD of the CD-ROM drive of the personal computer and the personal computer the file of a digital in personal computer noise can be recorded to MD digitally being influenced.

3. S.F (scale factor) Edith function that voice level of recorded MD can be adjusted back

The voice level recorded in recording ending MD (magnet-optical disk) other than a music software on the market can be adjusted back. Moreover, it is possible to cut on the way and the fade-in by which the start of a fade-out by which the recorded tune can be produced to natural how to end and an impressive tune can be processed can be edited.

- This function cannot be used for the truck of MD recorded in the MDLP mode.

4. “TYPE-R" DSP for ATRAC of the high pitched sound quality is installed.

“TYPE-R" DSP for ATRAC which distributes the re-analysis of the music data and the amount of the bit again is installed by using original "Intelligent bit rear location algorithm", and a high pitched sound quality near the source of the more recording is achieved. ^※3｡

5. The Chinese character and the hiragana title display full dot display are installed (‘MXD-D5C' Only ‘MDS-JB940' :).

The title of the Chinese character and the hiragana input with personal computer connection kit “PCLK-MN10" of another sales and equipments for the Chinese character and the hiragana can be displayed in the MD deck. In addition, because the Chinese character dictionary is installed in the main body, the Chinese character in the main body can be converted into ‘MDS-JB940'.

6. [It] equips it with the keyboard input terminal (‘MDS-JB940' Only ‘MDS-JE640' :).

The keyboard (PS/2 terminal) for keyboard “KB-10" (sale schedule on September 10, 6,000 yen, and excluding tax) of another sales and a DOS/V personal computers on hand can tie, and the character of the title etc. be input.

Main feature of - ‘MXD-D5C'

1. [It] records from CD to MD at four time velocity.

It is possible to record from CD to MD at four time velocity. For instance, it will be possible to record to MD in 15 minutes of 60 minutes CD on hand. ^※1､2｡

2.5 CD changer is installed.

Music is selected from five CD, and a variegated program recording can be done. It is also possible to use the MDLP recording and to spend time or more effectively (In this case, a high-speed recording : up to the twice velocity).
