The digital sound recording and reproducing apparatus gives the whole set its essential character. 2. A portable battery-operated apparatus for the reception of radio-broadcasts combined in the same housing with sound recording or reproducing apparatus. It contains the following elements: — a flash memory, — a microprocessor in the form of integrated circuits (chips), — an electronic system, including an audio-frequency amplifier, — an LCD display, — a radio tuner and — control buttons. The microprocessor is programmed for the use of the MP3 format. The device has stereo-, head- and earphone connectors and a remote control connector. It can be connected to an automatic data-processing machine through a USB port in order to download or upload MP3 or other formats. It can also record voice.

Furthermore, it is excluded from heading 8709 because it is not of the type used in factories, warehouses, dock areas or airports for the short-distance transport of goods. Its sole use is that of a vehicle used on golf courses for the transport of golf bags. 4. A multifunctional apparatus capable of performing the following functions: — scanning, — laser printing, — laser copying (indirect process). The apparatus, which has several paper feed trays, is capable of reproducing up to 40 A4 pages per minute.
