Hello,

Hubby and I have been devoted MD fans since late 1996 when we had to import our portables from Japan. We switched to MDLP units when they were available and now we are interested in the Hi-MD. I saw the minidisc.org info on the LAM-X1 (home audio model) and one of the bullet items was "virtual phone technology." What is that? Or can you point me to a link where I can read more about it? Naturally Sony's site was most unhelpful. They have the worst search results pages I ever saw.

Thanks,

Donna and Chris Pick

Welcome to the forums. :happy:

Virtual Phone Technology, or VPT, is a type of sound "effect" that is supposed to add depth to the sound. There are usually three or four different effects: studio, live, club, arena. These different choices are basically predefined EQ settings which try to replicate what the music would sound like in that type of venue.

Sharp has delved into this as of late, most noteably with the 1-bit digital amp portable units. It's more or less a gimmick to me..
