Sony_Fan Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hello. I was just wondering if there is anything special or rare about the MZ-E700 unit. I know it's a player only and can playback SP, LP2 and LP4. I'm considering getting one but not sure if these units are reliable. Was this a Japanese model or for the U.S. also? Thanks.

Azureal Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I have one and it is a cool little unit, and I mean little. It is very small and light weight. There is no display o the unit, so you need a remote with display for any configuration changes. I think it is Type-R DSP. Uses the standard gum stick nickel metal hydride rechargable battery. It's a cool little machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilippeC Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Why not buying a type-S unit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I just realized that I mis-spoke earlier Sony_Fan, the unit I have is actually an E909. Sorry about that! My description to you was for the E909 unit. I it got for a song, it was part of a three unit deal which included an NH900 and an R700, so placing a value on it is difficult. I think I paid around 150 for all three units three years ago. PhilippeC makes a good point, if you plan to use it to listen to any LP2 or LP4 recordings, you should look for a Type-S player, most are quite rare in the states.

Sony_Fan Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Whether a unit has Type-S or not isn't a big deal to me. I prefer ATRAC SP recordings. The person who is selling the E700 says that it works and it comes with everything for a very low price. I was just wondering if the E700 is like the MZ-N505 which are really cheap on ebay and even on craigslist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I do the same, prefer SP than LP or even Hi-MD. All depend on how much MD blanks you have and how long are your playlists ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I agree completely, SP forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony_Fan Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I just bought the MZ-E700 yesterday and I'm impressed with it's small size and sound quality (SP recordings). I think it's the smallest MD unit i've ever owned, and the rechargeable battery still works! This was a good deal. Now, I just need a simple MD unit with Type-R ATRAC recording.

PhilippeC Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 You just forgot to tell us how much you paid. A picture shall be welcome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 That's awesome! I am glad it worked out for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony_Fan Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 You just forgot to tell us how much you paid. A picture shall be welcome too. I paid $25 for it. It came with all the accessories and original box, but no owners manual. This unit was purchased in Japan by the seller who sold it to me. She just didn't want it anymore. She also included 13 brand new (5 are rare) minidiscs. You can find good deals on craiglists on minidisc units by people who just want to get rid of them at a low price.

jflaco1 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Is the unit all metal/all plastic/half and half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony_Fan Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Is the unit all metal/all plastic/half and half? I think it's all plastic, because it is very light. It's the size of a minidisc case and probably two cases thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
