Backlit LCD on Headphone Remote makes it easy to see the display even in low light, and offers convenient direct access to the unit's major functions.Its Shock Resistant Memory resists bumps or vibrations while the laser scans ahead on the disc and stores 40 seconds of music in memory, for interrupted skip-free playback.

New Head-Fier
Pros: Amazing for it's time
Cons: now outdated
I bought my R55 when it was first released in Japan. I was on a concert tour, saw it in the Sony Buildign and in Akihabara and just had to have it for recording my playing.
 
The audio quality was superb for it's time, though not nearly as nice as my mom's TCD-D100. It had noise that the DAT did not.
 
Not great battery life...
 
Anything else, not sure.
