VERY classy.

Pros Sleek and sexy!
Cons none right now
Recommended it? Yes

Well, being a woman, I cannot comment on the technical aspects of this unit because as long as it plays I am happy with it. To me, the sound and quality is just as good as any of the other larger, more expensive systems I have had. What I can comment on is the appearance of this little guy. I think... Read full review »

Pros er..looks good..
Cons CD + Md system failure (repeatedly), if you lose the remote it's hard to function...
Recommended it? No

I have had some bad experiences with this machine. When i first bought it, i thought it was the best stereo system i had ever bought. It had an MD and CD system, and it actually looked pretty good. This was my opinion for the first 4 days.

On the fourth day, the CD player decided not to... Read full review »

[REVISED Oct. 1] Bargain at twice the price

Pros Inexpensive, many inputs and outputs (keyboard!), great sound quality
Cons Reliability questions, fan prone to stop, complicated remote
Recommended it? Yes




I purchased my MD-X5 from shopaudiovideo.com roughly one month ago when I found they had it on sale for $99 from minidisc.org (an excellent source of MD information). Actually, I purchased two units, the other to sell and recoup a bit of the cost... Read full review »

The MD-X5 Makes Mini Discs Viable (But For How Long?)

bywayne_cramp Mar 6, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Numerous analog and digital inputs, good range of timer functions, mono recording option
Cons Too bright display, no high speed dub feature, possible overheating issues
Recommended it? Yes

With the proliferation of inexpensive MP3 players (with cheaper, faster, and more storage being added daily) many people wonder why I still cling to Mini Discs. I wonder myself, sometimes, and one thing is for sure: I would have chucked all my mini discs in the trash long ago if this system wasn't... Read full review »

The MD-X5 is an incredible package!

byJ_McNew Sep 17, 1999
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Super easy to copy a CD to MD. Easy titling with computer keyboard.
Cons Remote control could be easier to use.
Recommended it? Yes

The Sharp MD-X5 is an incredible package! If you are looking to get into minidisc technology, this is a great unit.
THE FACTS:
One button recording makes pure digital copies of a CD track or an entire CD at once. This unit also has digital input, both coaxial and optical, so you can make... Read full review »

Decent System (for now?) UPDATE: So-So system

Pros Keyboard input!
Cons Ever have TOC read problems?
Recommended it? No

UPDATE AT END

I bought this system because minidisc.org reported that it was on sale at eTown.com for $100 (with free shipping!). I did a little research on it at minidisc.org and here at epinions.com, and despite some pretty bad reviews I bought it anyway. Well, it's been 2 weeks so far;... Read full review »

Pros small and powerful for the size, great sound
Cons not enough of them...
Recommended it? Yes

Some of you guys complain way too much and have expectations that far exceed the true intent of this little marvel. I've owned it for several years and never had any trouble with it. Just be gentle with it and it will treat you well in return. My only complaint is that those bulky and overly... Read full review »

Pros KEYBOARD INPUT, Digital Input, 1-touch CD-MD dubbing, great sound for 20 watts, remote...
Cons Only 1x dubbing, no optical outputs, remote driven
Recommended it? Yes

Overview
I bought this system for about $150. This investment has been well worth it thus far. I like the system a lot. I will discuss a few problems that I have and then the many plusses of this system.

The Cons
First, this system only has real-time CD to MD copying. Given that... Read full review »

Some very good features but MD problems

byDavid-SY May 20, 2000
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros PC Keyboard titling, easy to use, good looks
Cons Unreliable MD
Recommended it? No

Firstly, I totally agree with the other users about the MD problems. Mine is currently being repaired now after it started skipping and jamming. It's already been repaired once before. The CD TOC can also be a little dodgy.

But apart from that it's a very sleek system. The sound quality is... Read full review »

Technical Troubles Plague This MD Player

Pros Compact, attractive, nice features
Cons MD player prone to failure
Recommended it? No

I think Mini-Discs are great. I'm surprised that they are taking so long to catch on in the mainstream market. I cannot however, recommend the Sharp MD-X5 system.

About a year after I received it, I began having troubles with the MD player. The MD player would just stop playing for no... Read full review »
