機能優先・功能先決

碩大緊湊的按鍵羅列，加上大R角設計語言及醒目的日文印刷，極厚重的機身加上拼湊且繁複的造型語言，加上應硬調性的鋼鐵灰亮面機身，似乎在在地傳達了功能絕對，機能優先的產品訴求。

嶄新的視覺焦點也是本次靈魂的"Jog Dial(飛梭轉盤)"，以單指轉動即可執行曲順變更、文字輸入等，讓編輯更為滑順高效率。

長條液晶螢幕同時顯示曲目、時間、光碟狀態、電量等，新功能"Position Pointe"以點列的Bar顯示光碟容量便於掌握使用進度~

支援Mono REC，以單聲道形式錄音讓74分光碟躍升至200%的148分，在MD空白片尚屬天價的初期，對於如會議、演講等非音樂用途解決了錙銖必較的時間壓力痛點。

配備基本線控操作，並採分離式特規耳機(Micro Plug)設計讓用戶可自行購入替換，但僅限Sony對應的耳機。

新型的鎳氫充電池，雖然只有貧弱的錄2 / 放3小時續航。但機能性大加分的兼容電池機身，可直接收納附屬充電池或AA x2，無須額外攜帶佔位的外接電池.盒，AA電池也易於取得。

Functionality first

Functionality above all else, everything else does not matter

The large compact button layout, along with the large R corner design language and striking Japanese lettering, the extremely thick body along with the complex assembled styling language, paired with the hard-edged steel gray metallic body, seems to convey the absolute priority and focus on functionality of the product.

The all new visual focal point is also the soul of this device - the "Jog Dial", which allows changing tracks and text input with a single finger rotation, making editing smoother and more efficient.

The elongated LCD screen simultaneously displays tracks, time, disc status, battery level and more. The new "Position Pointer" feature uses a dot array bar to display disc capacity for easy progress tracking.

Supports Mono REC, recording in mono channel format allows a 74 min disc to increase to 200% capacity of 148 mins. In the early days when MD blank discs were still expensive, this solved the penny-pinching time pressure pain points for non-music applications like meetings and lectures.

Equipped with basic remote control functions, and adopted a separate headphone design (Micro Plug) allowing users to purchase and replace their own headphones, but limited to Sony compatible models.

The new nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery, although only providing a weak REC 2  / Play 3 hours runtime. But the highly functional body design can directly store the included rechargeable battery or AA x2 batteries, eliminating the need to carry a separate external battery case, and AA  are easy to obtain.
