1. Convenient one-touch recording / editing function by linking 3 MD and 3 CD changer
- Triple REC - Continuous recording of 3 CDs on 3 MDs with one touch. Even if you borrow three albums, you don't have to worry about operating each one.
- Best hit REC - Record only the first song from three single CDs on one MD. You can easily create your own best hit collection that collects only hit songs.
- Long REC - It is possible to record for a long time continuously on 3 MDs from a long-time radio program. (The sound is interrupted when changing discs)
2. Easy to use and fun to see "Light-up multi-jog dial" and "Large display" adopted
- Equipped with a "light-up multi-jog dial" that allows speedy input of MD titles, CD / MD song selection, timer settings, etc. The area around the jog dial glows beautifully in blue, and during operation it turns red and blinks, expanding the enjoyment of using it.
- A "large display" that graphically displays the operating status of components like an animation.
- When recording from a CD to an MD, a "double counter" is used to simultaneously display the elapsed time and remaining time of each song. You can see at a glance the remaining time, which is important for editing and recording.
3. Reproduce powerful digital sound with newly developed high-quality 3-way speaker and total output of 100W
- A high-quality 3-way speaker equipped with a newly developed "Dual Canon Duct System" * 2 that achieves both deep bass and clear sound, and a large-diameter 16 cm woofer.
- High power amplifier with a total output of 100W.
- "Active bass EX" that raises the deep bass.
- A 4-mode electronic glyco that allows 3 modes of live surround and manual settings.
4. Equipped with a "fully automatic reverse cassette deck" that allows you to use your existing cassette tape as it is.
