 Does anyone know what the white cable in the Sony Minidisc commercial that
 is connected to the MZ-R55 is?  The commercial  usually runs on

I've only seen this commercial once, but the cable looks like a RJ45
connector, commonly used in ethernet networks and for hooking your PC up
to ADSL or a cable modem. This commercial emphasizes that you can use your
MD to record your music from the net. No, you can't plug the RJ45 directly
into the MZ-R55 ;)

My guess is that there is as much data being transferred down whatever
the cable is, as there is data being transferred to or from the MD discs we
see used in films, and tv programmes like "Scrapheap Challenge" here in
the UK (in which programme, the MD provides live video, and starts playing
in well under half a second, more like instantaneous-- yeah, right :-)  It's
just a prop I'm sure.
