Sony D-NS505 S2 Sports ATRAC Walkman Portable CD Player Specifications

Spin your commercial CDs, your homemade music CDs of almost any stripe with Sony’s versatile, full-circle D-NS505 S2 Sports-styled Walkman portable CD player. Designed for rugged outdoor use, the player features active control playback operation so you can make changes to your program literally while you’re on the run. Sony’s “h.ear” clip-on headphones are designed for streamlined comfort.

Skip-Free G-Protection technology boosts the laser pickup’s shock protection to minimize read errors that would otherwise interrupt your music, providing quick recovery from both horizontal and vertical shocks. The D-NS505’s water-resistant body and heat-resistant lid helps protect it against the elements, with rubber gaskets, bushings, and splash-resistant seals that help keep out water, moisture, and dirt.

Playback options include 32-track programming, repeat (track, disc, or program), random play, and–thanks to Sony’s great work in DSP efficiency–more than 75 hours of ATRAC3plus CD or more than 50 hours of audio CD playback from 2 AA batteries (not included).

The D-NS505’s 2-line dot-matrix display is built right into its handstrap, offering full ID3 tag recognition, and bookmark playback (which lets you program your favorite songs from multiple CDs and play them back at the touch of a button). CD Text support displays artist and title information with compatible commercial audio CDs.

The player comes bundled with Sony’s SonicStage CD Simple Burner software. Compatible with ID3 tagging and most CD burners, this application transfers songs from CDs or MP3 music files from your PC’s hard drive and burns them to recordable CDs using ATRAC3plus compression.

ATRAC3plus is a high-quality audio-compression technology that reduces the size of digital audio files while preserving much of a track’s original sound quality (similar in concept to MP3 or Dolby Digital sound formats). With ATRAC3plus, music can be burned and compressed at 132, 105, 66, 64, or even 48 kbps (kilobits per second), letting you select the right balance between fidelity and storage space (you’ll get around 490 songs per disc at 48 kbps).

Digital Mega Bass Sound boosts your music’s low end without high clarity and low distortion, and there’s also a built-in equalizer with 3 preset curves and 1 customizable setting. Sony’s automatic volume limiter system (AVLS) conserves batteries–and guards your hearing–by capping your listening level at either of two settings. You can hook the player up with your home system through an optional analog stereo “Y” interconnect.

The player also works with an optional AC/DC 4.5V power adapter (AC-E45HG or -E45A).

What’s in the Box
CD player, ear clip-on stereo headphones, CD-ROM (SonicStage software), a user’s manual, and warranty information.

[if The player bookmarks, a definite plus when listening to audio books and doesn't skip as I listen while doing a variety of activities. I enjoy listening to audio books from the library. This player allows me to do that. I tried several less expensive CD players but they skipped, broke rapidly, and didn't bookmark. This constantly required finding where the story was last stopped when again listening to the audio book.

There are models on which the batteries can be changed w/o removing the CD (a nice feature) and there are models that are easier to open and close, but the fact this model bookmarks, doesn't skip, and is sturdy makes it a keeper.]

Grate!!!!!!!!!!! – Sabrina J. Roberts – Santa Rosa CA.
I love the CD player. It works better then all of the 4 other CD/MP3 player I have bought be for….

Sony Walkman – Wendi Stovall – Tehachapi, ca
At first I didnt get it you have to screw and unscrew the walkman to place the cd in it. Once I figured it out it was great. I listen to books on tape when I work out and it picks back up were I left off. Not as common as you think in a walkman. The sound is great and I even dropped it and not even a scratch very sturdy . It will probly be the only kind of walkman I will ever use .

Greatest CD player i’ve ever owned!! – Rockstar Romeraux – Baker,Louisiana
I received this as a gift from my grandmother and to be honest I knew it was going to work great right off the bat, for the simple reason that it’s made by Sony. When I put my first CD in I got a huge suprise. The LCD screen actually showed the name of the song like an mp3 player(even with burned discs).It’s designed for you to slip onto your hand like a glove, and the skip/Previous bottons are right there under your thumb. Overall this was the greatest CD player i’ve owned yet!! 4/5!!
