1). How would the MD unit store the position on a write-protected disc, let
alone what a MD playback only could do.
2). Presumably because they forgot to include the extra-functionality on the
home-decks and I suggest we begin a petition to have the ES feature added
to all future Sony decks. Anyone want to support this campaign?
