Edit Wing |
TOKYO - Aiwa Co., Ltd. has introduced the stylish CSD-MD5 MD-CD system featuring a control panel called the "Edit Wing" that folds out electrically to reveal the controls for easy MD operation.
The CSD-MD5 has MD operation keys and a "Jog Dial" on the control panel, which opens and closes electrically. And it's easy to record your own customized MDs, thanks to functions like synchronized recording of one track, all tracks, or 16 selected tracks. The CSD-MD5 also makes it simple to record a favorite song from a CD. When you hear the song you like, just touch the synchrorec button, and the CSD-MD5 automatically reverses to the start of that track and begins recording it onto an MD.
The CSD-MD5 also features a robust 16-watt audio output, virtual stereo QSOUND for
natural stereophonic surround effects, and music genre position switch (rock, pop, jazz).
The CSD-MD5 is a stylish MD-CD system that offers easy operation and excellent sound
quality.
