SeriesSony MZ

(Originally written by Maytouk/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I used it for about five years . Very good sound quality, convenient and great for recording!!! Many possibilities. It sounds better than MP3 files. But I had to send it five times to the service center!!!!! Even though I was very careful!!!! The 6th time was too much so I bought another one. It was a secondhand unit and it got broken after one year... In short, Sony builds good-sounding products but they are not reliable at all. And I haven't said anything about my first Sony model. I had four breakdowns (three times during warranty period) and the 4th time it was not repairable anymore so Sony and the dealer decided to replace it with a MZ R-900... Conclusion: don't buy MD players because they are not reliable and you'll have compatibility problems regarding data compression between models and manufacturers. I owned four MD players in seven years (including a JVC): it's much too much!!!!!!!!!!
