I got the Lemon

(1.00 out of 5) by fiferjanis on May 1, 2005

Pros: Pretty blue case.
Cons: Keeps breaking, costly to have fixed, distortion, non-user-friendly, no (known) digital output, really frustrating

Pros: Built to last, quality recordings, Metal case. Does the job at a nice price.
Cons: Cheap remote. Missing newer features like MDLP and NetMD. Some don't like the noisy motor.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a plain device to record with at a small price, look no further. If you're looking for all the latest features, this is not for you.

I've had my R70 since early 2000, and I still use it every day. I estimate that I've used this MD un ...
