Sony MD Walkman MZ-R70 Reviews

I bought my Sony Mz-R70 md recorder over a year ago now in the sales. I had wanted a md for ages but they were generally too expensive and then i saw it advertised in a paper for £99 from the Sony centre and bought it the next day. It came with an optical cable for recording a charger and a bag to carry it. It also has a remote control but it isnt ...

I was very lucky to get my hands on the Sony MZ-R70 portable minidisc recorder because it didn’t even cost me a single penny! I won one of these by gaining top score in a music quiz on Bt’s ‘Get Out There’ website (www.getoutthere.bt.com). The player is small and stylish and is square in shape. I have a silver one ...

If you are pondering whether to splash the cash on an md player then don’t bother to hesitate and this is a great player/recorder to start with. Not only does it contain the much talked about MDLP (in its original state giving you double the recording time) but it has all of the features of any of the top-of-the-range mdp’s currently ...

The MZ-R70 is quite a handy piece of kit as it sports a number of excellent features but has since been very much outdated by the new 'MD-LP' minidiscmans. When searching for a minidisc recorder I decided to choose Sony, the leaders in the field and the original developers of the system. Sony also command style along with a reputation for ...

I got my MZ R70 for Christmas. It was very special from the start because it was Christmas + 16th birthday from my mum and stepdad... so I wasn't getting much else! In a way it's changed my life, I can record from CD (with the optical cable that came with it) or get mp3s directly from my computer onto minidisc. The instructions ...

Okay! As soon as hearing about the new format, I had always wanted a portable MD recorder. It seemed like a nifty bit of kit. After a few years, I began working for Tandy and we were sent 2 Sony MZ-R70s in the delivery. There was a choice of 3 colours, blue, black and silver. We got sent a couple of black ones, but that was okay, since ...

This MD is not for sale anymore, but yet it's such a great MD player! The MZ-R70 is probably the best affordable MD player around. It's as small as other MD players, but it's got that 'je ne sais quoi' that makes it better. Well actually I do know what it's got more. It has a remote control ...

Small - Recordable - quality I have never had an MD player before this one so i cannot compare it. I can only give you my opinion on how amazing the little thing is! I have had it since around christmas (joint christmas and 18th birthday pressie from my mum)- what a great gift . I can't live without ...

This mini disc player is superb, it cost under £140 for something that I can record MP3's on to, through a microphone, from a tape and a CD, but not only is being able to record from everything in the household brilliant, it even sounds amazing. Sony give you a good pair of earphones which show off the units base sound brilliantly. ...

After years of lugging round the old portable Mini Disc player which needed its own trolley I have invested in this smart little box of tricks. The biggest selling point for me was the option of using an ordinary AA battery to power the unit (without having to put something that resembles a telescopic sight on the side). Many a time have ...

As I am writing this, I am actually using the Sony MZ-R70, and a very fine little gadget it is too. I am listening to the Buena Vista Social Club's Ibrahim Ferrer, and the sound quality is absolutely perfect. I compared it to the CD and it's almost identical. I don't know much about audio stuff, I just wanted to get rid of ...

I began my search for a new MD player with several thoughts in mind. First of all, I needed something that played AND recorded MDs. Secondly, I desired something light and compact that also had an exceptionally long battery life. Third, I've got nearly 5 GB of MP3s on my hard drive and I was looking for something that could record a lot ...

I have only had this recorder a couple of days and I am extremely pleased with it. It is one of the most simple and easy to use pieces of kit I own and the quality with it is great as with all minidic products. I am pleased with all the functions it possess and the only missing fuction would be a programmable play rather then just ...

The Sony MZ-R70 is a superb Minidisc Recorder that you can buy at excellent value. Whilst it costs £200 still at Dixons I found mine on the Internet (from Empire Direct if memory serves me correct, yes it does.. for once) for just £160! A saving of £40 and no pushy sales men either! In other words it's good to shop around rather than just ...

I recently went to america and whilst i was over there i bought this mini disc player. So far i have not had any problems with it (apart from the charger does not work). it is small light and good value for money at only two hundred pound. You can do all kinds with them that i didn't know you could do. Like labeling each mini disc and each ...

I got my first pay package some time in July 2000 and thought "Hey those Minidisc Players look mighty fine" so I bought one. An impulse buy most defiantly, but a good one! This thing records, re-records, edits, plays and washes up, OK so it doesn’t wash the dishes, but a dish washer can’t play music! Its so small with great ...

THe MZ-R70 is great, while only running off a single AA battery this has a very long run life. All the functions are easily accessible from the main menu buttons on the front and the MegaBass really works well. The Syncro Record option means that with the optical cable you can directly copy music from CD's to MD's in a very short ...

I recently bought this MD player while on holiday. I have found that it is a good device with good audio quality. The unit is fairly small and (excluding the battery compartment) is only slightly bigger than the MZ-R90 + 91!! The player is designed for use with AA size batteries which because of their HUGE size means the player needs an ...

I think the Sony MZ-R70 is the best out of the minidisc recordables available on the market today. I have tried a range of them, mainly Sony and the MZ-R70 is the one I actually bought. The MZ-R70 is a very small and compact MD, weighing hardly anything and worth all of the £200 I spent on it. It is available in black and silver and is ...

I originally purchased the MZ-R55 MiniDisc recorder and I was very impressed with it. However, after 5 months, the laser developed an error. When I returned it to the place of purchase, it was exchanged for the newer MZ-R70 recorder. After using both products, I felt that I should inform you of my comparison opinion of the two. The first ...
