kgallen Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 This page help at all? http://minidisc.org/part_Sony_MZ-M200+RH1.html As a "new re-convert", minidisc.org is a very useful resource and we refer to it often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stachu Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I've already checked that page. Unfortunately the ATRAC type is not mentioned there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 The manual has some information re the ATRAC versions your Walkman has but not sure if this really answers your question? Page 80: Quote About ATRAC ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) is a generic term for an audio compression technology that realises both high sound quality and high compression rates. Three versions are in use: ATRAC (SP mode (normal MD format)), ATRAC3 (LP2 and LP4 modes) and ATRAC3plus (Hi-SP and Hi-LP modes). There is then a table on pages 81 and 82 detailing the bit rates/recording times for the different modes. Also, on page 83 it states: Quote About the DSP TYPE-S for ATRAC/ATRAC3 This recorder supports DSP TYPE-S, a specification for high-level Sony MiniDisc decks equipped with digital signal processors (DSP). This specification allows the recorder to produce high-quality sounds from tracks recorded in MDLP mode. Since it retains DSP TYPE-R support, the recorder produces superior results during recording or playback in SP (normal stereo) mode.
