Equipped with a 16-megabit DRAM, the sound can be stored in memory for up to 40 seconds (four times longer than the previous model), so you can enjoy music comfortably without skipping even if you receive a strong shock.
Comes with a glowing LCD remote control that can be seen even in the dark. Comes with a backlight that allows you to see song titles and displays even at night. The remote control adopts a stylish skeleton design that allows you to see through the contents.
A high-quality sound design that uses a 24-bit high-precision LSI in the ATRAC section, which is the key to sound quality.
8 hours of continuous playback with a single high-performance lithium-ion rechargeable battery. By reducing the power consumption of the pickup, LSI, mechanism, etc. and adopting a high-performance lithium-ion rechargeable battery, a single rechargeable battery can provide approximately eight hours of continuous playback. In addition, due to its low power consumption design, it can be played for about 14 hours when used in combination with an alkaline AA battery (1 piece).
