Sony release the TCD-D100 Recording DAT Walkman in 1997 as a successor to the TCD-D8. It is lighter, smaller and has improved battery life over the TCD-D8. The TCD-D100 is essentially a consumer version of Sony's PCM-M1 for the professional market. The major difference between the TCD-D100 and the PCM-M1 was the inclusion of SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).
