The story
I found it in Oct 2021 racked on a huge tv/monitors/console table ready to be trashed away with some old stuff. I took it home, it powered on but didn’t work properly. It showed gibberish on the screen. It was my first time with small fixes, the device just needed a new battery. I soldered a battery socket, put a new battery on and performed a good reset. That was it.
I have read that it was meant to beat some really good gear on the market but it was a bad timing when it was released and they were not that lucky. And Sony later didn’t show interest in continuing that kind of devices. So it seams that it is a great piece. I haven’t used it that much so far. It’s in my future plans.
