Great discman for various activities
Pros
Very slim, heavy duty, control everything via remote
Cons
Poor headphone, no light on remote control, battery life short
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
If you're looking to jog or for many active use, this is it for you. Just keep in mind the battery life and it's weight.
Jogging: Is the reason why I purchased this discman. I wanted a CD player that minimized and eliminate skipping during heavy use such as walking and jogging. It also have a remote control that can control everything on the CD.
Design:
Great design, one of the thinnest and stylish discman in the the North America. The headset jack connects 90? in angel & conforms to the shape of the discman. Small buttons on the side of the discman allows you to control play/stop/ff/rwd/search while the bottom side allows you to lock the button and change the AVLS option. This discman has an optical output for digital recording which is very nice. The batteries are accessed inside the discman, right beneath where you insert the CD. The small switch located next to the battery comparment allows you to change the g-protection level by 1 or 2. (2 being for very active use with minimal skip). The package comes with a headphone but isn't really designed to elimite any background noise or produce great sound output.
What I liked:
The CD came with a jogging cover so you can strap it on your hand and run at the same time. The LCD allows you to control everything from the volume, stop, play, rewind, fast forward to changing the bass level from 0, 1, or 2. You can also view the title/name of the song you're currently playing while you can change it to the album name or simply the track/time of your CD. (Indicates shuffle, replay, battery life also) Charging was simple with it's provided AC adapter. Plug the charger on the side & press the 'stop' button which activates a steady red LED next to it. Within six hours the battery is charged completely. Skipping was basically eliminated for any mild movements. If you're jogging for long periods of times, you may experience a pause at times with it's G-Protection set at the highest level.
What I didn't like:
Battery life. It does not last more then 7 or 8 hours from what I recorded. It uses two gum batteries which makes the overall discman heavier then other discman's. The headphone needs to go. Of course you can purchase a separate one since the remote control & headphone is another connector. Because of the remote control, the wire may seem a little thick and can get in the way with its length. It's a lot heavier compared to any other discman I've owned. The remote control could've used a lighted LCD's (which is featured in the original Japanese models). The remote control is also not the newest design with it's headphone jack connect at the bottom of the remote while the newest Sony's remote connext straight on top of the remote to eliminate any unnecessary tangling. (The remote has a clip by the way)
