TOKYO - AIWA CO., LTD. has introduced the compact CSD-MD50 MD-CD radio cassette recorder - approx. 23cm-thin compact unit, which makes it easier than ever to make high-quality recordings from CDs to MD. The CSD-MD50 offers a host of synchronized recording functions - it’s simple to record one favorite track, all tracks, or even rearrange them in any order you like. And with the "single hit recording" function, when you hear a song you like, just touch the synchro recording button  - the CSD-MD50 automatically reverses to the start of that track and begins recording it onto an MD. What’s more it also features a multi jog dial for easy inputting of song and disc titles, QSURROUND for natural stereophonic surround effects.

Despite its compact size, the CSD-MD50 incorporates a full-function MD recorder, CD player, cassette deck and AM/FM radio. CSD-MD50 has it all - advanced features, easy operation, top sound quality, and excellent value for the money.
