Amazon Customer Reviews

Nice price, Nice Sound, Nice Minidisc.

This sleek little black number serves as an excellent entry-level minidisc recorder. It's small in size, and has few buttons so that even technogical novices can make use of it, but still carries all the functions you'd expect from any minidisc recorder. It produces excellent sound quality, and comes supplied with an optical cable for digital recording, AC adaptor and Sony's plug-in headphones, meaning that it is all ready to be used as soon as you take it out of the box. The only thing that could be improved would be the inclusion of a line cable for analogue recording, as many entry-level purchasers would not have equipment that produces an optical output. However, this can be easily rectified with £5 and a trip to your local hi-fi dealer, so this is of little real significance.

An excellent purchase.

CHEAP????????

This is a cheap mini disk player but only by price. The quality of playback is as good/better than a cd player even on LP2 (about 160mins one 1 disk)

It is fully jog proof which is excellent as a personal cd player that is jog proof will cost about £60 and who wants to carry a personal cd player with them whilst jogging or training.

I looked at the specifications and it said it was something like 3cm by 7cm by 8cm, when i drew a picture of it, it looked huge but when I got the player it was only 3cm wide where the single AA battery goes so it isn't very big at all.

I would recommend this to anyone, unless your stinking rich and you want to buy one of those £300 wafer thin ones. But for the average buyer, this couldn't be better (unless it had a rechargeable battery which would make it a bit smaller)

The way i like it

This is a great little Minidisc. It records and plays with brilliant quality. Also i've been used to CD players that only last 20 hours on two AA batteries but this lasts twice as long on one. You can use both the LP modes(2 and 4) depending on what quality you want but there's not much difference and LP4 stores twice as much (about 320mins on one 80minute disc. You also get the carry case, headphones and the AC adaptor. Brilliant. Just the way I like it.

Well what can i say this tiny minidisc is a great product, i have put so many songs onto minidisc digitally, and the sound is great, the analogue recording has also good sound, with the package you get an ac power adapter,good headphones and most important the Optical cable which can be plugged into a hifi with a digital output, the sound quality is excellent even on MDLP4(longer recording time) all of this for a cheap price, if you are looking for a recordable minidisc which is cheap, go for this one!
