S200 interconnect standard and styled in a novel, minimalist design. It was introduced in 2000. It was not a commercial success and no other products were ever introduced in this series afterwards.
Although the receiver had some analogue inputs, the components required just a digital i.LINK connection to hook up. The other components only featured a power cord and two i.LINK ports on the rear panel.
The MiniDisc recorder/player & CD player implement the 1394TA specifications:
* AV/C Disc Subunit General Specification
* AV/C Disc Media Type Specification - MD audio
* AV/C Disc Media Type Specification - CD-DA
* AV/C Descriptor Mechanism Specification
* AV/C Information Block Types Specification
These devices can be controlled by either the STR-LSA1 receiver, or through a computer (Windows or Mac) using standard AV/C commands.
The MiniDisc deck appears to be the most complete implementation of the Disc Subunit specification in consumer equipment.
