Ultimate Black Technology

As there is nothing on earth that can stop Panasonic, the technology control, we once again witness the secret of black technology after 2 years - the SJ-MR240, which focuses on usability and lightweight. Compared to previous models, it is 8% lighter and an astonishing 22% smaller. Although most people think that the Sony MZ-N10 is the smallest device, the MR240 is not only the annual champion but also the king of the MD's smallest device in history. Interestingly, Panasonic did not mention this achievement at all.

The design is still Panasonic's usual grand and bold style, but the thickness of the upper and lower body differs by an extreme 13.9-19.4mm.

Not only is it satisfied with its small and long-lasting design, but it also has a top-of-the-line control layout with a large LCD screen that can display 2 lines of Kanji characters and 1 line of information, which is jaw-dropping. The right side of the body is equipped with a Jog Dial for efficient execution of track/text editing, but hiragana and Kanji cannot be inputted from the main unit.

The high-quality audio technology "H.D.E.S. (High Density Encoding System)" uses high-precision bit compression information (SP Only) and is equipped with a 24-bit ATRAC DSP high-precision calculation to obtain more realistic music details. unfortunately, However, it is a pity that the standard digital amplifier has not been used yet. sound effect is still the perennial S-XBS and Train.

In addition to being the smallest device in history, it also has a replaceable battery design, and the battery life is still the champion at 130 hours (LP4) even though it was surpassed by Sharp three months later.

The updated remote control is more optimized in appearance, with basic five-way button operation. It is worth noting that the remote control can directly operate the recording function, but unfortunately, it does not support kanji display.

The charging dock, elegant and unobtrusive, improves operability with a raised bottom body. Unfortunately, it is only available in a single silver color for all body colors.

MR270 is  the last Net MD model from Panasonic...
