Differences from a Tape-Type MTR
Unlike DAT recorders, which use tape, digital disk recorders record performances (that is, sounds) on a disk, as do MD recorders.
Music that is recorded on disk can be recalled and played back immediately, no matter where it is located on the disk. This is
obvious from the difference in speed with which you can move to the beginning of a song on the VS-1680 as opposed to a DAT
recorder.
The ability to freely move to data regardless of the time or sequence at which it was recorded is known as “random access.” By
contrast, having to move to data in the order of the time or sequence at which it was recorded is known as “sequential access.”
