Yes. With the newer models with large (20-40 second) buffers, the read
head reads enough to fill the buffer, and then shuts of. There is a nasty
problem here because there is some data compression going on (something
inferior to ATRAC) which is how Sony manages to get so much buffered. This
causes problems with MD recorders. There is a note in my 702 manual about
this.
