Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The Sony MZ-R700PC offers portable MiniDisc recording from just about any source possible, digital or analogue. It looks the business too, with a smart and compact case and a purposeful set of controls. There's also a remote control, which carries the vital playback controls. The front sports a plethora of buttons and a small LCD. The back of the player is less impressive, it lacks the metal casing of the front and the bulge for the single AA battery spoils the otherwise smooth lines. Sony claim over 50 hours of playback time, but this is only if you use a conventional alkaline battery. The rechargeable battery offers around 12 hours of typical use. The MZ-R700PC has one major and eagerly awaited feature, the ability to record directly from your PC . Despite what you might assume, when recording from your PC it's not done digitally. Basically your PC is used as a music player and the analogue signal piped out through the USB cable. This can lead to some less than ideal sound quality, particularly when recording from highly compressed sound formats. It also means it records in real-time. If possible it's best to record digitally using the optical cable directly from a CD player. You can record in LP2 or LP4 modes, which can mean squeezing four CDs onto a single disc, but again you pay for that in sound quality. It has all the functions you'll need for a full recording MiniDisc although the process can be fiddly, particularly labelling the tracks. The MZ-R700PC includes nearly all the features found in Sony's top of the range recording players but at a worthwhile cost saving. The ability to record directly from PCs is a bit of a kludge, but can make life a lot easier if you already have a large music collection on your PC and don't fancy the limited capacity of an MP3 player.--Miles Berkeley Product Description: The Sony MZ-R700PC Recordable MiniDisc Walkman offers features such as G Protection Jog Proof and up to 53 hours of battery life, using Stamina batteries (not supplied). The R700 also features MiniDisc Long Play (MDLP) for extended recording time. This feature offers the user 2 or 4 times the playing time of Standard Play in digital stereo, allowing up to 320 minutes playing time on one 80 minute MiniDisc - that's over 5 hours! The MZ-R700PC comes supplied with a PC Link cable, to link your MiniDisc Walkman to a PC. In this way, files already downloaded from the Internet or from the PC's CD drive can be easily transferred onto MiniDisc. Supplied with rechargeable battery and carrying case with belt clip.

 Rating:  - brilliant and easyvery easy to use, technical enough for the people who like to tinker with things, can hook up to pc with the provided cable for easy transfering. overall, a great piece of machinery! Rating:  - Massively dissappointed about the PCLinkI really bought this mini-disk since I wanted to drag and drop music onto the mini-disk player. The USB PCLink is just a sham. A simple audio cable to the input slot would work as well since the link is only recording analog to the digital disk. this means if one wants to record 2 hours of music, then you've got to wait 2 hours to record it. this process, versus drag and drop to record a normal CD is no advantge. I bought this item 2 years ago and still never used it. Now i will investigate getting a proper "drag and drop" digital pc link. More money to get the original value intended. this is a case of misleading advertising. Rating:  - Mini Disc MarvelGreat piece of kit. Not too bothered about the PC bit - just record onto re-writable CD, play on your hi-fi and record digitally from that. Re-use CD afterwards!. Only annoyance is there is no backlight to display which is crap in the dark and let's face it, in the UK it's dark most of the time! I've persuaded friends at work to buy MD so we can share our music in the most compact way possible. May have to get one for car next! Rating: - Great Mini-Disc Player/RecorderI got this for christmas from amazon.co.uk and i think its the best mini-disc player ever. My friend has an old mini disc which is about 3 years old. we compared the features and my mini disc completely whipped his. the sound quality is great and you can record from almost anything.the only thing which the american model has the the english doesnt is the optical for the pc. this would have been nice but i'm not complaining. buy this now hurry!! the best one for its price .Buy buy buy!!! Rating: - well pleasedordered the product before christmas and was pleased to find it was cheaper than in the shops, wanted a mini disk player that could also record for the internet and i am very pleased with my product, the only thing that buyers need to be aware of is that some computers do not have all the nesessary programs installed on your computer to record mp3 files. i have to get in contact with the manufacturer to ask them to send the appropriate files. other than that im well pleased with the product |
