Sony MD players have always been THE units to own.. however, some people (such as myself) sometimes like to be different from the pack.. JVC offers a high quality portable minidisc player/recorder.
Here are some of its features:
- 40-second Shock protection
- Easy Editing with side jog and large display
- 5-mode edit functions (Join/Divide/Move/Erase/Title)
- 9 hour playback with rechargeable batteries (too little, stick with alkalines!)
- 30 hour playback with rechargeable and alkaline batteries (one of the longest playback times available for MD players, aside from the higher model E-series from Sony which are very expensive)
- ACB (Active Clear Bass)
- Remote with 10 Character back-lit display (I didn't like the remote too much because of its large boxy shape
- Jog Control for title input
- Digital Synchro Recording
- Random/repeat play
- Hold switch
- Rechargeable battery/AC adaptor/charger/headphones/remote control/carrying case provided
Dimensions = 3 3/16" x 13/16" x 3 5/8"
It is surprising that JVC would use a lithium battery.. they are considerably more expensive than their nickel cadium or nickel metal hydride counterparts. Also, the 9 hour playback time seems adequate, yet I would expect more out of a lithium ion battery. It's annoying that you must use so AA batteries in conjunction with the lithium to get 30 hour playback. 5-hour recording can be achieved by using this combination, which is also nice.
Unit has Microphone input capabilities, which is standard for a MD model priced like this.
The skip protection is marvelous, i haven't heard it skip yet, even when running sprints!
Sound quality matches all the minidisc players i have ever used before; excellent CD quality sound.
It's really nice to finally get a backlit display on the main unit, and not just on the remote.
Unit is small and light, fits well into your pocket.
Strong construction, feels sturdy, withstands a lot of jostling.
Great unit for its price. Comparable to the Sony R70 and R55 which are more expensive ($200-$220). This can be bought new somewhere from $180-$200.
