MR16 Owner’s Manual (Read this chapter first!)
This section describes the basics of the MR16 you should know before using the MR16.
Recording method
The MR16 is fitted with a 3.5-inch hard disk drive. Songs are recorded on a hard disk along with
the ABS time (from 00m 00s 000ms to 399m 59s 999ms).
The ABS time shows the absolute time on a hard disk and you can start recording from any
desired time within the range between 00m 00s 000ms and 399m 59s 999ms ABS time.
As the MR16 does not consume the disk space when no audio is recorded, you can record audio
effectively, while the recordable time for a tape recorder depends on the tape length.
