Denon Electronics recently announced the introduction
of the DN-M991R MiniDisc Recorder / Player. Developed for a multitude of applications,
including broadcast, theme parks, airports and theatre, the DN-M991R’s MiniDisc
format offers a versatile alternative to traditional tape and CD cart machines.
User-friendly features, such as keyboard character entry, keyboard operation
and a large easy-to-read florescent tube display showing track number and track
name, as well a variety of control terminals, including RS-232C, RS-422A, D-Sub
25 pin and keyboard Mini Din, make the DN-M991R the most versatile MiniDisc recorder
on the market.
In the playback mode, the DN-M991R offers 25 programmable tracks that can
be played back in any order selected. Playback begins less than 0.01 second after
the PLAY button is pressed. The Auto Cue function automatically searches for the
point where recorded sound starts and then stands by at that point. Up to five
cue points may be assigned to each track for quick searching. Playback speed control
of ±8% in 0.1% steps controls speed in the preset mode. The Hot Start feature
allows up to 10 different tracks to be instantly selected via the keyboard or
parallel remote.
DN-M991R has a recording capacity of 74 minutes in stereo and 148 minutes
in mono. The Auto Level Record Start function automatically starts the recording
when an audio signal level from an external unit exceeds a preset level. In the
event of a power failure, Denon’s pre-UTOC system is capable of detecting
the failure during recording and can play back the portion that was recorded immediately
prior to power failure. With Auto/Manual Track Increment, you can increase the
track number by pressing the REC button at any time during the recording, or the
track is automatically advanced after the signal ends. Recording is also possible
with or without encoding of the serial copy management system (SCMS), selectable
in preset mode.
Editing functions include cue point editing and "Undo", as well
as a host of others, including Divide, Erase Track/Erase Disc, Combine, Move,
Track Name and Disc Name.
The suggested U.S. retail price on the Denon DN-M991R is $2300.00
