An MD recorder with unique high-quality sound digital technology.
DENONALPHA Processing (Adaptive Line), a proprietary analog waveform reproduction ฅ
technology Pattern Harmonized Algorithm). In this technology, digital data recorded on MDs
and CDs is used as a clue to interpolate digital data, making it as close as possible to
the analog waveform that should have existed before recording.
As a result, the 16-bit data that is the conclusion of the MD and CD formats is reproduced in
20-bit quality, and the delicate nyance and aftertaste lost due to digitization are reproduced.
The D/A converter is equipped with a real 20-bit ΛS.L.C.
It is equipped with two ultra-high-precision 20-bit current summing DACs as D/A converters,
and is driven by DENON's proprietary ΛS.L.C., which in principle does not cause zero-cross
distortion, to thoroughly suppress distortion and further improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
In addition, in order to prevent the inflow of unnecessary noise due to circuit routing, ΛSLC
is integrated into a single chip, including the ALPHA processor.
Equipped with a sampling rate converter, it also supports digital signals from sampling
frequencies of 32 kHz, which supports A mode for BS broadcasting, and 48 kHz, which
supports DAT standard mode and B mode for BS broadcasting.
It is equipped with a name input function, and you can enter information such as title names,
song titles, and artist names in katakana, alphabets (uppercase and lowercase), numbers,
and symbols. You can enter up to 100 characters of information per song. In addition,
a jog dial is used for data writing to improve operability.
The input information is displayed up to 14 characters on the display, and all recorded
information can be checked by scrolling.
It is equipped with editing functions unique to MD such as divide, combine, move, and erase.
It supports timer recording, and it is possible to play a timer and record a timer by combining
a commercially available timer.
It is possible to play a program of 25 songs, play randomly, and repeat playback of one song
or all songs.
It has two optical and one coaxial digital input terminals and one optical digital output terminal.
It uses a digital servo.
By separating the rectifier and smoothing circuits of the digital and analog power supplies,
mutual interference between circuits is suppressed.
It uses parts that emphasize sound quality.
It comes with a wireless remote control.
