I couldn't believe that. Being SONY, I must admit I considered
that at first, but don't think so. I don't think the JA20ES has bad DACs,
being a hi-medium end deck, what the h***...
The fact of having to push the record button (then AD- -DA or
AD-DA appears on the display) isn't specific from MDs I believe, DATs and
other digital recording equipment works the same...
Another issue is, do you think an MD ATRAC chip is capable of
coding/decoding simultaneously? I don't think so.
what do you guys think?
