Xircuits Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'm looking to collect some minidisc players that have the "sliding eject" button rather than the push buttons. I find the push buttons to be rather flimsy and just asking to be broken one day. So far my favourite md player has been the MZ-NF810 I found on Ebay. It came with the original remote too so I can listen to the radio at work. I wish Sony made an option to record the radio using their MD players, but alas, no realized. If anyone has a list of players/recorders that have a slide eject button instead of a push button, that would be helpful. I did find the MZ-N10 to also have a slide eject button, but they're going for something like $75 or over on Ebay. :-( Thanks all. Happy New Year!

slugbahr Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Have you tried using a splitter to run the radio into the unit while using headphones? Would that work? Re slide ejectors, it might be easier to list the ones that don't ;-) Sony only? Recorders and/or players? SP only? MDLP/hi-md? :-) Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim.hoggarth Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Have you tried using a splitter to run the radio into the unit while using headphones? Would that work? Unfortunately, the minidisc unit is powered down when the radio is working and vice versa. 'Slide to open' Sony recorders (excluding really early units): R30 R35 R37 R50 R90/91 R500/501 R900 R909 R910 N1 B10 N10 N710 NF810 N920 NH1 NH600 NH700 NHF800 NH900 RH710 RH910 M100 M200 RH1 Not a complete list, it's off the top of my head. Lets' hope I haven't made too many errors. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim.hoggarth Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 M200/RH1: not a slide eject, instead it has the WORST EJECT EVER! I realized that after putting up the list, then thought - no, it is very similar to the slide eject system as the push-knob is physically connected to the lid lock lever, Whereas the real push eject with problems, such as the R410, N510, R700 et al, have a button mounted on a plastic 'hinge pin' that inevitably breaks and makes opening much harder, requiring the button to be pressed much further into the body of the unit. That's what I assumed the OP to be meaning. But yes, you are right. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xircuits Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Jim, you are absolutely correct. I have the R707 and R505 and the button ejection system is very squishy. Awesome list! Thanks! If Panasonic or Sharp makes better ejection systems, I'm all for it. Doesn't have to be Sony. What I like about the NF810 is that I can single-handedly open it and swap out the disc with ease with the other hand. I look really clumsy swapping out discs with the N505/707.
