Product Description

The Sony MXD-D40 offers high-speed digital dubbing from CD to MD at up to 4x normal speed, and features incredible MDLP technology! Record up to 320 minutes on an 80-minute disc! You can even use MDLP modes while performing 2x high speed CD to MD dubbing! The Scale Factor Edit lets you adjust the volume of a track, without touching the music itself. MXD-D40 is provided with digital and analog REC level control, which let you match volumes from song to song when making a "mix MD" from multiple CDs. CD Text and Custom File Transfer is made possible via Control A-1 II. 20-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter with Wide Bit Stream Technology takes care about clearer reproduction of delicate, low-level music. The device is connectable to the PC through optional PC-Link. Of course, you also get all the classic MiniDisc editing functions: titling, instant erase, move, divide, combine, etc.

Get the best of both worlds with the Sony MXD-D40 MiniDisc player/recorder and CD player. You can play MiniDiscs and CDs, record from CD to MD, or record MDs from other external sources like DAT, external CD players, and even a PC with an optional connecting kit (PCLK-MN10A). A front LCD display shows information for both the CD and MD player, including disc name, track name and number, time remaining of track playing, and remaining recordable time for the MiniDisc.

A host of features makes recording MiniDiscs simple and speedy. When recording directly from CD to MD you can use the Synchro-Recording function to import track information automatically onto the MD (if the CD contains track listings). There is also a high-speed recording feature for 4x recording speeds. Use manual recording to create your own mixes, or record from external audio equipment like a turntable, DAT, or other CD player. The Time Machine Recording function is great for recording from FM or satellite broadcasts, as it leaves a six second buffer on incoming data so you don't miss anything as you rush to hit the record button. When recording onto MD, the Smart Space feature will detect a silence between 4 and 30 seconds, and replace that space with a 3 second silence before recording continues. If a silence over 30 seconds is detected, the Auto Cut feature will stop recording entirely. A fade in/out function lets you record MDs with smooth transitions between tracks. Finally, and handful of editing features — including erase (single track/all tracks), combine, move, undo, and name tracks — give you ultimate control of your final recording.

A headphone jack on the front of the unit is convenient for listening in private, and there's a separate volume control for the headphones. Connect to other audio devices and an amplifier with analog audio and digital optical inputs, and an analog audio output.

MiniDisc recorder and CD player, 2 audio cables, remote control, 2 AA batteries, user's manual, and warranty information.

Customer Reviews
MiniDisc Is Not Dead!
It's only out of fashion. It's unfashionable because consumers aren't aware of great products like these. I bought this combo player/recorder about two years ago, and I've never been more pleased.
