!A Portable MD player with "Mobile 1-bit
digital amplifier"
"The 1-bit digital signal is sent to a constant voltage cir-
cuit directly from a high-order (Delta Sigma) modu-
lation circuit. The amplifier transmits and amplifies the
signal, and allows extremely natural and clear sound
with little deterioration.
"High-quality sound is achieved by vast improvements
in the sound resolution. The speed and the smooth-
ness of rise of the sound are consequently ensured.
!122-hour* playback and 57-hour*
recording
The low power consumption LSI, consisting of the
ATRAC LSI and the high-order (Delta Sigma) modula-
tion circuit, enables extended hours of playback.
!"4-pole plug headphone" optimizes
"Mobile 1-bit digital amplifier"
SHARP has adopted "4-pole plug" headphones and a
remote control that completely separate right and left
sound. Enjoy the high quality sound of the "Mobile 1-bit
digital amplifier".
