Kenwood SV-3MD

Kenwood Corporation announced today (Aug. 29, 2005) that it will release a new CD/MD/Radio-cassette unit: “SV-3MD” in mid-September 2005. Expected retail price is approximately 43,000 yen and will be available in three color scheme – silver, gold and blue. Note: the blue unit will be a limited edition unit.

For the forum’s interest, the SV-3MD can be connected or utilize so to speak with Kenwood’s HDD-based portable audio player, “HD20GA7.” Connection between the SV-3DM and HD20GA7 is facilitated by a special link cable, PNC-150 – approximately 2,415 yen. In addition, the linkage between both units allows basic operation of the HDD unit (such as playback of music) to be controlled from the SV-3MD’s operation buttons or its remote; this applies to Kenwood’s other HDD-based portable audio player – ES-A5MD.

Recording out function: The music signal from the headphone terminal can be switched to the recording output signal from the main unit. Recording from the main unit to Kenwood’s HDD-based portable audio player is possible - direct encode function without the need of a PC.
