The MZ-R410 keeps direct recording capability while omitting NetMD entirely. Line and optical inputs support recording from external sources, but there is no USB transfer, keeping the system tied to real-time recording.
ATRAC Type-R is used for standard play recording, and MDLP extends recording time through compression. The lack of a microphone input limits recording flexibility, and the lack of a remote keeps control centered on the main unit.
