When combined with the optional Dry-Cell Battery Case, users can enjoy up to 37 hours of playback time. For the first time, a magnesium alloy is being used in a portable MD player for the optical read head housing, reducing its weight by approximately half compared to the zinc alloy used in previous units. The result is lower power consumption required to drive the head and improved reliability. In addition, an Auto-Play function starts playback immediately, allowing users to change discs quickly and smartly, even outdoors or in a car. Particularly since the end of last year, the percentage of home audio equipment equipped with MD units is increasing.
Users can now enjoy digital audio outdoors, on the go, in a lighter weight package.
The accessory AC Power Adapter can recharge the battery in approximately 3 hours. The result is a significant reduction in the weight of the optical read head and much lower battery power consumption, as well as improved reliability. An Auto-Play function starts playback immediately simply by inserting a disc. Users can conveniently view song titles to make song selections even when the main unit is tucked away in a jacket pocket or inside a briefcase. In addition, the headphone unit is detachable, allowing users to enjoy even more impressive sound by connecting the MD-SS70 to a larger headphone set available on the commercial market.
