Thanks for the info, gentlemen. Does the 3000 also have a 480 x 272 screen resolution?

I note that it supports ATRAC 3 sound encoding, same as my mini-disc recorder and my 4+2 track Sony mini-disc mixer-recorder [now obsolete like the mini-disc itself, pretty much]. ATRAC 3 always sounded to me as though it were just as good quality as original CDs even though it compressed filesize to about one-fifth the original.
