One of the biggest advantages of my new JE330 is that it is a Sony product. Sony is a name I trust and I bought the minidisc in confidence.
I was not disappointed. It boasts Digital and analogue in but only analogue out, which limits the functionality when copying minidiscs etc.
The remote is brilliant, offering text message like labelling of tracks. The mono recording option was also attractive, as I work in dramatics and mono is often a preferencial format.
Linking it up to my hifi, I was astonished by the quality of sound produced. I have since linked it to my PC so that I can record some interesting sounds which i edit on the pc.
I would have no trouble in buying another Sony Minidisc, although I would be tempted to buy the next model up for the extra features, like graphic equalisation and optial in/out.
