Offered in Silver, Orange and Black. Portable recorder, only has netMD as a recording source. Can charge off both the dock and directly through the DC input on the device.

Shipped with quite a few Sony branded accessories (sidecar, charger), I wonder if this is just a repackaged Sony design?

Features:

  • 64X NetMD downloading (LP4 mode).
  • ATRAC DSP Type-S (however, unit's ATRAC chip is not used for LP mode encoding).
  • No audio input jacks! Records only from PC.
  • Kanji capable backlit LCD remote.
  • "Virtual Sound" DSP digital sound equalizer
  • E.A.S.S. GP anti-shock system recovers disc data readout within 0.3 seconds by quickly refocusing, repositioning the optical pickup, and rereading missed data.

Included Accessories: Backlit LCD remote, Charging stand, AC adapter, NiMH cell, SonicStage V1.5 CD, AA cell case, carrying pouch, USB cable

Specs: Headphone amp: 5mW+5mW into 16 ohms
