Sony MZ-R55 Portable MiniDisc Player and Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've read the other comments on this unit, and I have to say that they don't provide you prospective buyers with a very accurate view.I've used the Sony MZ-R55, owned a Sony MZ-R50, and own an Aiwa AM-F70 so I caneasily compare this unit to others.The MZ-R55 may currently be thesmallest unit in the US, but that's really all it is; what you do have isno battery life (4hrs) and a lack of features (more on that later).TheSony MZ0-R50 may have been large but at least it ran for more than twicethe time of the R55, and the Aiwa AM-F70, may be slightly larger than theR55, but fully loaded it works for a whopping 30hrs. Now for the (lack of)features...no jog dial (very useful for titiling), no progammable play, andno backlighting on the unit itself. I'm sorry to bash this unit so badly,but those are the facts.On the upside, it is currently the smallestportable MD player/recorder (until something like March when the SonyMZ-R90 comes to the US) and hey, its made by Sony!
P.S. Both the Aiwa andthe R50 have jog dials and longer play time.The Aiwa also has main unitbacklighting (not only on the remote), and programmable play (true, thisfeature is somewhat useless on an MD).And guess what?Bothplayers/recorders are much cheaper than the Sony.
