200016 📃
A PIONEER catalog covering the full range of digital decks - CD recorders, MD, DAT and cassette all in one booklet. The headline model is the PDR-WD7, a three-disc CD-R/RW recorder with built-in changer at ¥106,000: one disc records while the others play. Hi-bit technology runs as a thread through every category - Legato Link appears in the CD players PD-HS7 and PDR-D5, and in the DAT decks D-HS5 and D-05 with their 96kHz HS mode reaching 40kHz bandwidth. The three-head cassette deck T-D7 gets full DSP treatment with 90dB noise reduction, showing that PIONEER at the turn of 2000 was still investing seriously in the cassette format. The portable DAT D-C88 in a case-style body is a rare entry in the lineup.
