Previous Sony units would only BEEP when a button on the remote was pushed, and not beep when a button on the main unit was pushed. Separate BEEP options for the main unit and remote. The N1's 3-line text display. The N1's Open slider-switch. Kanji display on the new remote. For those wondering about the N1's motor noise, the level of motor noise is about the same as the R - only slightly quieter than the R, but not nearly as quiet as the almost-silent Sharp MT I've never used an MT or MT, so I can't comment on the level of motor noise on those two models, but my guess is that they're just as quiet as the MT Improvements made since the R generation Since the N1 was announced less than a month after the R's release, there are probably a number of users that are not familiar with the improvements that Sony has made since the R With creative use of this feature, you can even fade-in and fade-out your recordings.
Group Function - With the advent of MDLP, keeping track of up to minutes of music and navigating through on big pool of tracks became a potential chore. The OpenMG Jukebox software now allows you to organize your groups with ease.
To learn more about the Group function, please read over page 4 of my R review , where all of the Group function details are covered in-depth. The 3 line display gives birth to one of the bigger improvements made by Sony in the last few years Separate L and R level meters - During recording, the 3rd line of the text display acts as the level meter a smaller, separate meter at the very bottom of the display is used during playback.
Fully turning jog-dial - A feature absent between the R50 and R generations, the same jog dial returns on the N1. The jog dial allows browsing of track titles as well as access to the N1's vast menu system. G-Protection - Sony's newest form of anti-shock protection. G-Protection eliminates practically all skipping by minimizing the read recovery time, and without relying solely on a buffer. MD users can finally go jogging with their MD for more than 40 seconds!
Also, the N1 will time-date stamp your realtime recordings, so that you can look back and reference the exact date and time of a recording useful for interviews and lecture recordings. Adds shock protection to the pick-up mechanism, thereby minimizing the loss of position.
It continues to provide quick recovery from both horizontal and vertical shock. Check-in transfers the track "rights" back to the PC, but not the audio. Notes: The Japanese MZ-N1 comes with software that installs an English version if an English language version of Windows is running, however the installer and help file is in Japanese. The manual, which lists all of the equipment and accessories included, does not mention a carrying case either.
