MZ-N420D

The MZ-N420D combines USB-based audio transfer with a radio system built into the remote, splitting its function between two separate audio sources. As a MiniDisc unit, it removes microphone, line, and optical inputs, relying entirely on computer transfer for recording.

NetMD enables compressed audio to be written to disc at high speed, while playback features such as MDLP and group mode remain available. The remote includes AM, FM, TV, and weather band reception, functioning as a standalone radio. Listening can switch between MiniDisc playback and broadcast audio, though radio content cannot be recorded to disc.
