Proper model# is MJ-P5-S. See also: Sharp MD-R1, Kenwood DM-F70

Features:

  • Synchro recording (start recording when audio appears at input)
  • Sampling rate converter
  • Monaural 2x long-time recording mode
  • Title search
  • Equipped with an automatic recording date and time record that allows you to record and check the date and time (year/month/day) recorded on the MD

Criticism: Sampling rate conversion is a very convenient feature. It will be a must for MD decks before long. But be careful to check the performance. I found the specs of Sharp's sampling rate converter in IEEE trans. on consumer electronics. They are .. S/N 90dB, Distortion 0.005% (1kHz) That's about 14-bit accuracy. I've not yet checked the sound quality myself, but I'm afraid that it will affect the sound quality of low level music [when sampling rate conversion is used]. -Takeshi SASAKI
