1997 MZ-F40: MiniDisc with Radio

Integrating AM/FM and television audio reception, the MZ-F40 explored a hybrid role for MiniDisc. It remained a unique branch in the lineup, showing Sony’s willingness to experiment even as the format stabilized.

As digital music shifted toward computers, MiniDisc adapted rather than resisted. Longer recording modes and USB connectivity extended the format’s relevance, but also introduced new constraints. Software, copy protection, and workflow became inseparable from the hardware itself.
