I am surprised, the sony's intend to hold the classic speech/music-recording private customers (like me). Good for real creative naturally audio-events, not only using the cropped mp3-(web)"performances". But at my three AIWA portable's (AM-F60/65/70) automatic-level recordings suffer from distortions if to loud and directly by microphone (ATRAC-coded bit-technology will support this ?), otherwise reduced microphone-sensitivity will cut off naturally dynamic-atmosphere. I think and ask here MD-community: with sony-MD's Autom.Lev.Ctrl.-ALC is better ?, I think really yes ??-- nice greetings, sibro/ germany

go to ebay-sites >>>minidisc, a lot of MD-recorders (portis and netstation-types) are cheap to get (I recently got four items beneath 20,- EUR!), mark: since nearly 2-3 years the last microphone-recording MD have been produced. PS.The web-/USB-connected MD-portis making MD-area more silly and not of real charming creative music-recording, therefore also selling of MD-portis has decreased rapidly and finished at large electronic-markets. Sony intends to finish this producing-sector generally, -- sorry.

you must search at www.minidisc.org for "equipment-browser", than to "recorders", to "aiwa" and finally at your type -F65, all properties including the manual-pages are now to read or print

one of the european-selled similar Li-battery AIWA LIB-902 is to get at: Mr.Martin/ Netherlands, >>>>mail to: fax@tutu.demon.nl, Price EUR 43,- included postage within europe. The batterieycase at AM-F70 (also for F-65, -F75, -F80) is formed only able for this accutype. At the AM-F90 the battery-source was changed to the more stable and easier chargeable NiMH-technology, the inside-accu has little different dimensions. Former LithIon-Batteries like the LIB-902 are critical if decharged to deep (never startup), also the cycles are not so much than the NiMH-types if very often used. Deeply decharged Li-Ion-accu's are possible to recharge, when delivered meantime from protecting-electronic minicircuit inside, and smoothly start-encharging direct into the cell, >>>but is dangerous, I do not recommend this to unable users !!

you must have a soundcard at your pc with (bestwise) digital optical or coaxial input, also a software to transfer music to wave-format file, best quality is than given. only modern (net-MD or Hi-MD-)Players can directly transfer mp3-records into computer, not the JE650 , --- I have an JE530, grettings, SB
