Sony MDS-JB 940

... Unfortunately my previous minidisc recorder developed a fault (Sony MDS-JE 930)and ended up requiring replacement. Wanting to avoid failure of the unit again I wanted a stronger more durable unit, and was prepared to spend extra to achieve that. The end result was the MDS-JB940. It is built ... Read review

Best MiniDisc recorder yet

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

...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.  ... more

Good option.

Advantages: Nice looking, nice sounding, reasonable value for money.
Disadvantages: Upgrades are not that enticing and the remote control does not send out a strong signal.

but have not received a response. One solution is to buy a "learning remote" and teach it all the Teac functions. Maybe the remote problem has been fixed since I bought the system, but worth checking before buying. My second gripe is that, yes you can upgrade the system with new units but they don't seem that competitive. For example the Teac MD500 is £349 whilst I know I can spend £250 on the Sony MDS JB940 and get a minidisc deck that is superior in every department. The only thing that the Sony cannot do is to blend in with the mini size or gold styling of the Teac system. As such if you buy a new remote control then I can heartily recommend this system for a second room or bedroom (particularly with the alarm function) however, if you're hoping to upgrade it later with the minidisc or cinema amp then don't expect to have a state ...
