About this news article

HAR-D1000 is equipped with a function dubbed as "Highlight Scan." The highlight scan was developed so that the users will be able to select the music of their own choice from a vast sea of their collection.

Once a user chooses and records a particular intro or bridge of tunes from a CD album, the highlight scan would make the CD player play the recorded parts of the tunes one after another. Play would last for about ten seconds per album. Users would use remote controls and buttons set on to the player itself. All they have to do is to choose an album and select their music of their preference.

At the initial stage of default, the first ten seconds of the music will be recorded. Users would listen to the music and can roughly set the point where the bridge begins by dialing buttons for track setting. Sony only went further as to mention that the disk employs fluid dynamic bearing and declined to comment further on details including what the disk diameter was.
