The Reviews
Sharp MDSR60S Minidisc Player/Recorder
A great unit to consider when choosing a first portable minidisc player, Sharp's MDSR60S delivers a solid performance with 24-bit ATRAC sound, 10-second antiskip protection, and the crisp, clear sound of compact discs combined with the recording ease of cassettes.
The MDSR60S supports 24-bit ATRAC recording and playback, while digital synchro recording won't start recording until the digital input signal is received. Sharp includes a digital bass boost with three presets to enhance low frequencies, while a 10-second antiskip buffer offers some protection from skipping during active use.
The MDSR60S comes with a pair of lightweight, foldable headphones and an inline remote control--a must for portable play. Its dual-compatible battery compartment takes either an alkaline AA or NiMH battery to provide up to 7 hours of play and 4.5 hours of recording. Sharp also includes a NiMH battery, AC adapter, and carrying case.
Sharp's slim design gives the MDSR60S great portability, and it still offers an optical digital-audio and analog input (optical digital cable as well as RCA cable supplied) for added versatility, letting you feed this unit from your stereo or computer for home use.
Sharp's warranty for the MDSR60S covers a year on parts and 90 days on labor.

functions. The MDLPM-^Y feature allows you to record 4 times as

The Aiwa AM-F70 Portable MD Recorder/Player is a portable recorder/player

Super Linear sound. It boasts a battery life of up to 40 hours and

provide you with a host of recording options.

dial to get you to the exact song on the disc. The unit includes
