The Sharp MD-MS 200 H is a portable MiniDisc player and recorder that was designed primarily for personal use, featuring a compact and lightweight design that allows easy transport. It offers users the ability to record and playback audio in high quality using MiniDisc technology, which was popular during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The device supports ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) compression, which allows for recording audio with reduced file sizes while maintaining sound quality. The player typically includes features such as an LCD display for track information, navigation controls for easy track access, and a headphone jack for private listening. Many units came with a rechargeable battery that provided a reasonable playback duration, and the device often includes anti-shock technology to prevent skipping during use. Connectivity options might include a line-in for recording external sources and possibly digital output for direct connection to amplifiers or other audio systems. The design often features a combination of plastic and metal finishes for durability while maintaining a sleek appearance. Additionally, some versions might offer compatibility with other media formats, although the primary function remains focused on MiniDisc.
