Features: 40 second shock memory, ``Active Clear Bass'' (adjusts the boost level according to the signal level, giving strong bass without distortion, even when the volume setting is high). LCD remote with ``jog control'', 10 character backlit main LCD and an unusual ``Favorite Track'' function that lets you set where you'd like an MD to start playback. Battery life: NiMH: 7 hrs, with AA cell added: 16 hrs.
