Guest Anonymous Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 i am fairly inexperienced as far as minidisc technology and would like to get some ideas from anyone that is willing to help. what im looking for is a portable recorder with remote that is not made by sony but has net md (or something similar). i will not be using this recorder for live recordings. i would like to keep the price below US$200 but am open to all suggestions. some recommended stores would be helpful too. ive looked at some aiwa and some sharp recorders and have been impressed but like i said before since i dont know much about minidisc technology and it doesnt take much to impress me any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 take a look at the Sharp DR420 unit...this may be within your budget range i think??? it's not made by Sony, has NetMD and a remote (though not backlit nor does it have an LCD) + is a damn fine live recording unit...you could try looking online for this unit...i think most online vendors would have stocked up on it by now...Aiwa is under Sony management so effectively it is a Sony...

Guest Anonymous Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 thanks for your suggestion ill check into that unit. i knew about aiwa being owned by sony. does that really make aiwa recorders the same with just a different name?

mAjEsTiC Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 yeh Aiwa is under Sony management...so practically it is more or less exactly like a Sony unit now...not much different...they have the same software and basically the same user manuals just rebadged unit with update aesthetic features...

Guest Anonymous Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 sucks about aiwa...i hate it when a company is bought by another company and they make the same product with just a different name. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulBennett Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 If the original poster is still around, I'm curious why you wouldn't purchase a Sony MD? Personally, every piece of consumer electronics I bought in the last 10-12 years is Sony for the simple 2 reasons, interface problems are elliminated and now that Sony has been cured of greed and price-fixing, for me they have the highest quality at a reasonable price. But I would never own a Japanese car because of features, quality and a few other reasons. Fortunately we do have choices and everyone's reasons are different and as I said, I'm curious about yours re: Sony and their MDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
