It features a large backlit display panel and physical buttons that illuminate only while on the AC adapter. It appears to have been designed for more user friendly track titling and recording based on the large physical buttons.
It contains a line-out jack and optical in/line-in/mic all in one jack which can be enabled via a switch. Features automatic track marking, auto-start recording, and track titling with use of the supplied remote via the volume knob.
