Better than a CD player although expensive December 12, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Sony makes great products and this is one of them. I like their minidisc player because of its's small size and mine came with a free armband (carry case) so it's super easy for me to take it along while running or just working out (if you're looking for a non-skip workout player; this is it; mine hasn't skipped yet and I run, jump, and practice martial arts while I have it on). The pc connection makes it simple to burn a song onto the minidisc but it burns in "real time" so it can take a while... but if you have something like a windows media player on your pc you can copy any of your favorite songs from different cds or from the internet on a playlist [the minidisc's discs work just like a cd-rw so you can add and delete songs on them (and they come in neat colors)] and while your computer plays them back to you, the minidisc can be recording them. For anyone shopping for a minidisc~ you may want to opt for one of Sony's cheaper models; they have much better color options (this model only comes in silver unless they updated it) and you probably won't be using the radio much anyway unless you're a real radio buff, lit screens and lit remotes are nice too; I would tell you how nice but the model I bought didn't come with this option; also, being able to label your songs is nice and all but it takes a while so unless you REALLY want your songs labeled, don't make that a consideration. I'd rather have a cheaper lit model than one with song labeling capability & a radio but of course, that's just my personal preference. Last but not least, the rechargable battery is GREAT, I love not having to buy new batteries every month; when the batteries get low (I think they last about 4 hours or so??) just plug the minidisc into the wall and press charge; after it's fully charged it will shut off by itself or if you're at home, just listen with the unit plugged into the wall intead of using the batteries =) I haven't had and problems with the batteries draining unless I hit the play button up against something with the "hold" not on [this model when I bought it came with a battery case too so if it wasn't in use I could always remove the battery so it wouldn't turn on by mistake (and drain the batteries)]. If you're in the market for a portable minidisc player don't forget to shop around and keep an eye out for in store and online sales~ sometimes you can save a lot ^_^ Good Luck at finding a good deal and Xiexie (Thanks) for taking the time to read my review ^_^
 What a great MD August 15, 2002

Buying this MD was one of the smartest thing I did, for several reasons. One because it's price is really good, also it comes with a great bundle (PC link...) also it has an FM/AM radio if you get tired of listening to your recorded minidisc, also it records with great sound and with the Lp2, Lp4 and Mono mode you save battery life and you have much more time to record songs.
 The battery ghost drains my power July 30, 2002
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Overall I am very pleased with this product. However, I have one complaint. Even with both the unit and remote locked, it seems that battery power drains while the unit is turned off. I don't use the thing all that frequently (maybe once or twice a month). However, there have numerous times when I have been on a plane (I fly every week for business) and wanted to listen to some music and couldn't because the battery has mysteriously drained itself of power. So, now I must remember to remove the battery when I am done listening. And, I have never had a battery (either rechargeable or alkaline) last for 6 hours of playback, as some have claimed.Other than that, the thing works perfectly. Somenone said it is a bit tedious to copy music from CDs. I have over 200 CDs I would copy songs from, but downloading MP3s from my laptop onto the minidisc is so easy, I don't even bother copying from my CD collection (It seems that 90% of the songs I download from the net I already own on CD).
 Would've been great if it worked!!! June 8, 2002

This MiniDisc recorder was excellent until it suddenly stopped working. The LCD display failed right at the end of the *ONLY THREE MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD* (Sony offers only 3 months labour and 1 year parts coverage).After a long and frustrating battle with customer service, Sony refused to cover it and charged me [money] to get it fixed!! This is not the first time I have had problems with Sony products and repair services. I fail to see why a company that can spend millions of dollars on marketing their products is unable to stand behind them!!
 MZ-G750DPC - sad and disappointed April 16, 2002
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I saved up 300 bucks to buy this MD but it wasn't worth it. After a few months the jog (tuner) dial on the remote broke off (cheap parts), and if playing an MD, i can't hear the sound unless I hold down the piece connecting the remote to the unit. Initially I believed the problem was the headphones or remote but after trying several pairs i realize the problem must be with the unit. Not to mention the radio reception is terribly poor. I have a cheap... no name radio in the car and i get better reception. Another problem is when I push the FM button on the remote to start the radio, it either shuts off in 2 seconds, or it never turns on at all, remaining frozen with the flashing dashes on the display, even if I have the hold button on (both remote and unit)! I am ultra disappointed. I never even dropped the unit once. I guess Sony is cutting back.
