MiniDisc Players

The only thing missing is the Sony badge

Advantages: Small, Recordable, Solid Build
Disadvantages: Not as Small as others

This player / recorder is a very solid peice of equipment. It has sustained over a year of use in a collage environmant where it is dropped and banged quite a few times, but it is still going. As for the spec the only thing missing is the remote (avalible on the AM-70) but with 40 seconds antishock and full recording and editing features it is one of the highest specs around. Only one thing which makes this a slightly less attractive bet than the ...
...and eaisly pocketable it is bigger than the top of the range Sony (but the sony is also £50 more). One not so noticeable feature of this over the others is the multi jog. This may seem a bit of a novalty but it does come in handy. When entering track titles you have to scrool through the letters untill you get the right one. On other makes this is not easy as you have to press buttons to cycle through, but with this (and other awia minidisc players) ...

Review of Aiwa AM-F65

Decent budget MD player

Advantages: It is Minidisc, not bad sound
Disadvantages: Cheap made, no digital out

...fascia rather than the usual Sony aluminium, and the remote is standard budget Sony. Sound quality is basically quite good, great for making MD for the car, or recording off digital TV staying in digital from box to MD (I record off The Hits, TMF and Radio 6). Labeling a MD is a chore as there is a choice between a knob to twiddle or pressing buttons on the remote - three presses for C or F ect. Some MD players have sockets for a PC keyboard. ...

Review of Sony MDS-JE 330

Amazing value

Advantages: Has everything MD's have to offer
Disadvantages: Sony have now produced soom better models

...very inferior tape format. As Sony have been making Minidiscs for the longest it is no surprice that can come up with the best deck, offering features which include a very useful keyboard input save time inputing those track names on the remote and 4 inputs (2 optical, 1 coaxial and 1 analogue). The sound quality offered here is next to perfect and the playback of pre recorded discs is good as well. The casing of unit is very solid and will match ...

Review of Sony MDS-JB 930 QS

Sony MDS-JE 480

Advantages: Its a Sony!! High quality, cheap price
Disadvantages: None

...1 X coaxial output. The player will fit in well with other Sony HiFi separates to make a highly competent home music system. I have been advised that the unit can now be purchased for around 110 pounds which i would say is a very good buy. Highly recommended. ...

Review of Sony MDS-JE 480 MiniDisc Player & Recorder

Best MiniDisc recorder yet

Advantages: Minidisc long play, digital coaxial inputs / outputs, excellent edit facilities.
Disadvantages: Complicated program method for track replay.

...large menu which makes the process slow and over complicated. Overall, this deck has surpassed my expectations in a number of ways I didn't realise were possible with the format. The construction and sound quality are extremely impressive, and I struggle to see where Sony could improve on this deck. ...
