■ MD long-time recording / playback function "MDLP" Despite using a conventional MD, the recording / playback time is doubled by changing the compression method when recording music signals. -Equipped with an "MDLP" (MD long play) mode that can be magnified four times. There will be more and more opportunities for MD to play an active role in scenes where convenience is required, such as car audio and portable use.

■ Digital recording level automatic setting function DLA Link (Digital Rec Level Adjustment) Dubbing operation of multiple CDs where the difference in recording level is a concern. In order to establish a comfortable CD → MD dubbing environment, it is equipped with "DLA Link" that automatically sets the digital recording level. It is the latest function that promises comfort during playback as well as dubbing operation.

■ CD → MD double speed dubbing function Dubbing from CD to MD is possible in about half the time as before. For example, if you normally use a 74-minute CD, you can dubb it in about 37 minutes. * CD → MD double speed dubbing using the same CD is possible 74 minutes after the start of the first dubbing. Also, you cannot record more than 20 CDs continuously within 74 minutes. ■ Optical digital output terminal that also supports CD-R Equipped with an optical digital output terminal that can directly output digital signals to external digital recording equipment. We are actively responding to new recording media such as CD-Rs that are expected to become widespread in the future.

■ Optical digital input terminal compatible with CS and BS (built-in level memory function) Equipped with an optical digital input terminal that can directly input digital sources other than CDs such as CS and BS. Since the signal level can be memorized for each input source, the level can be easily equalized among sources with different input levels.

■ 26W + 26W high power discrete configuration amplifier The amplifier section, which boasts a powerful driving force of 26W + 26W, adopts a discrete configuration with carefully selected parts rather than depending on the IC. Regardless of the width of 205? @, It drives the speaker powerfully and brings out a powerful and dynamic sound image.

■ Full-scale single-item speaker system Single-item component class specifications such as a woofer that uses Onkyo's proud diaphragm "OMF (ONKYO Micro Fiber)", a group of units such as a soft dome tweeter, and a speaker cabinet that uses MDF material on the entire surface. It is a speaker system. ■ High-precision 20-bit processing

With the theme of high quality in total recording and playback on MD, all digital signal processing is performed with high precision 20 bits. It enables the reproduction of detailed and rich facial expressions of music.

■ Aluminum knob adopted Motor drive volume The volume is an important part that is said to greatly affect the sound quality because music signals always pass through and it is used most frequently. In this part, which can be said to be the core of the amplifier part, instead of using an electronic volume, an analog resistance that is advantageous in terms of sound quality is used, and a motor drive is installed so that it can be changed with a remote control. In addition, the knob is made of aluminum with excellent rigidity, and the specifications are particular about the details.

■ Full external connection terminals (TAPE, CD-R, LINE, subwoofer mono OUT) Regarding the analog input / output system, not only TAPE but also two systems including CD-R are equipped, and one LINE system is equipped as an input terminal. .. Moreover, the output terminal for a subwoofer is also equipped. By ensuring the development beyond the concept of 1BOX component stereo, which allows you to make the best use of your existing audio products, we are equipped as standard with a "sense of security" that allows you to use good products for a long time.
