PhilippeC Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 What does that mean Type R for a MDLP player ??? I always thought that Type R is for a better recording in SP mode and that Type S for a better LP playing ! http://www.minidisc....ny_MZ-E310.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Type-R is the level of the ATRAC (DSP) chip. It probably is true to say that the main feature in "Type-R" is the better *recording* (which I am certain applies to both SP and LP, based on the sound), but the term describes the chip as a whole, and there are probably other ways (unknown to you or I) in which the chip was indeed an improvement over the previous version, 4.5. Sony nearly always used the latest revision of ATRAC as it came out with new products. The only counter example I am aware of is that sometimes the CSP (hybrid) packages were on a previous revision until after the normal DSP-only-based decks had come out. Presumably this is because of the all-in-one effect - you don't want to package two things together unless all the components of the package are already successful. Plus development time to hybridise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
