1994 -Introduces the world's first MD changers for cars. 1995 -Introduces the world's first MD business recorder. The consumers are buying them up like mad. Two new high-speed dubbing units also were unveiled today. It includes a digital tuner with 20 station presets, a sleep timer, timer recording capability and a remote control.
Music is recorded in real time.
The listener hears music as it leaves the electronic buffer, not as it is read off the disc itself. Since the buffer stores up to 10 seconds of music, the user will not hear any skipping if the laser gets momentarily bumped out of place. Once the laser recovers its position and begins reading the disc, it will begin filling up the buffer again to keeping giving MD continual sound on the rockiest of roads. The Mini Disc and the equipment used to play them can be expensive, but it seems to be worth the money.
