No microphone input.
Group and Bookmark track function (see Sony glossary).
Recording level change and character input while recording.
Quick mode (!) according to Sonystyle Canada.
Non-LCD remote (RM-MC21)
"Quick mode" (shorter battery life: turns off the LCD, but leaves unit "on" for up to an hour with no user input – unit will respond almost immediately when a track is played or cued within that hour).
