Advantages: Lots of features, very good sound, digital cable included.

Disadvantages: Comparitively large, no light.

This may have been one of the first MD recorders that Sony released but it is still very good. The sound clarity is excellent and it comes boxed with most things you'll need to start recording, namely a digital optical cable that will set you back another £20 if it's not included. The jog dial is an excellent feature, and I am surprised that some of the newer players have discarded that idea. The dial makes editing very easy, and typing names is a good deal faster than with just buttons.

Compared to some of the newer models this recorder is on the large size, but that is almost irrelevant as it will still fit in practically any pocket you care to slip it in. As feature that is not included that would be useful is a light on the display, both the remote and the main unit.

I have been totally satisfied with this recorder, and never had any problems with it.
