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 -JA 333 ES

Advantages: TOP OF THE RANGE!
Disadvantages: Mini Disc Only

...- In this release from sony you have all that you will need. Me personally, I am a gimmick fiend and the editing facility on this is phenomenal. For the price that Sony have released this at, In my opinion it is a bargain! A MUST HAVE TOY FOR BOYS!! The improvement on this from the older version is not even noticeable, the recording quality seems better and the look is slightly sleaker but other than that there is not much difference! ...

Review of Sony MDS-JA 333 ES

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. ...

Review of Sony MDS-JB 940

If you like MD's, you need one of these

Advantages: Solidily built, exceptional sound quality for the price
Disadvantages: none really, No USB connectivity?

...The JB920 is a Sony QS deck, which guarantees a certain level of performance and definately one of quality, nothing on the unit feels cheap, apart maybe for the remote. It is very easy to connect to the rest of your steroe system, especially if you have Sony components which have Control AI functionality. Even not there are plaenty of connections on the rear, both coax and optical digital In/Out and also Analogue RCA In/Out as well as a headphone ...
...you can purchase the PCLK-MD1 which allows you to directly connect the unit to a PC and using the software you can edit table of contents, set options and best of all, title discs with a keyboard. 2 problems with this though, good luck finding one and secondly, it connects using a serial connection and I haven't managed to find a USB version. The performance of the deck is excellent with little or no audible difference between the CD recording to ...
