Hi Martin,
I'm forwarding your note to the MD mailing list since others may find
it interesting too. To me, Sony's comment about "noise" is just a
disclaimer that you may not always get a perfect copy if the CD isn't
in good shape. What would be surprising is if the noise was worse than
what you'd get just listening to the CD on a normal stereo system. I
suppose it's possible that the error concealment logic on this CD/MD
combo deck is not as robust as you'd find on a normal system, but that
doesn't seem likely.
