Summary: i need help with this machine
Review: I ordered this machine about 2 months ago and i still haven't figured out how to use it. It looks great, and it is really cool, but i cant get it to work right. The directions are almost impossible to understand, and it took me weeks just to learn how to record. Once i finally did figure out how to record, i cant get it to sound right. When i play the songs back they are so quiet i cant hear them. The volume is as loud as it goes. I really need help on how to use this machine, if anyone could help please write back at the above email address. For anyone who wants to buy this machine, make sure you have an eletronic genius around because its very hard to understand, and also, make sure you can afford it because it is almost impossible to return i have found out. so anyone with this player please respond, i am despertate to work this expensive player that seems more like a waste of money every day i look at it. i am desprate!

Summary: Great product with very very few cons...
Review: I purchased the Aiwa AM-F70 MD Recorder/Player with no idea how a MD worked, but this product is a God-sent item! It was worth the price 20 times over! Here's the pros and cons from my point of view:The pros: I am an avid CD borrower, sometimes I have to borrow a CD 3 or 4 times, but now I can just copy away! You can name your tracks, name your discs (thank GOD for the jog dial!), set the time, set the date, hook up a microphone and record, say, a conversation or a bus ride home. Another very great feature...the size. How I hate the size of Discmans...they are too big to fit in your pocket, but this....wow! You could throw it into a pocket from a mile away and make it in it's so small! Other pros are it comes with a handy remote that can clip on to your sleeve that's about .5 ounces in weight, a separate AA battery pack for when you're recharging the Lithium battery, and a great carrying bag! The cons: The only problem is the owners manual and figuring out how to record. It is very hard to understand, but I got the hang of it in about 15 minutes. The headphones aren't too great either. They're flexible, but confusing to try to figure out how to put it on. I recommend just getting a pair of ones that go over the top of your head. Much better sound. That's about all the cons I could find I know I will be borrowing about 5,000 CDs over this weekend! The machine may be pricy, but it's definitely worth it! Buy it now!

Summary: Coolbeans!
Review: I purchased this MD player/recorder off of Amazon.com about a month ago, and so far it is awesome! About the only complaints that I have are: One, the remote could use a little bit of work, due to the fact that the cord lengths aren't the best. And two, the external battery pack is kind of big, but I rarely use it anyway. Some of the nicest features it offers are: The headphones...they're really awesome, and have pretty nice sound as well. Even though the external battery pack is big, the 40hours of playback time is REALLY nice. And lastly, the ease of use...I read through the manual in about 10 minutes and started recording my first MD. If you're thinking about getting a minidisc player, this is one of the best ones out there!

Summary: Pretty good, easy to break.
Review: I think mini disk is much better than cd it plays much smoother and doesn't skip. I dont like the headphones very much they break easy. All and all this product is definitely worth looking in to.

Summary: The poor man's DAT beats the alternatives like a bass drum
Review: I've had this unit for 6 months now and have zero complaints. Audio quality is excellent, despite the flak that MD audio compression takes from critics who mistakenly believe it takes a $1000 DAT unit to get high fidelity recordings. I've used the AM-F70 with binaural mics to record concerts and have been extremely pleased with the results, which I would say give similar DAT recordings a real run for their money.

Summary: Not a happy camper anymore...
Review: It's me again, the person who was praising about this MD player earlier, around September...not a happy camper anymore. Before I begin, the star rating is not on the machine...it's a great machine...while it lasted. The thing malfunctioned last month, and we had it sent off to be repaired. The people at the repair shop said that they couldn't repair it, and it was sent off to the Aiwa place in Syracuse. What I found out today is that this $300 machine is being refused to be fixed because it was bent up inside....this surprised me, because I took great care of this machine (maybe dropped it one time, but that's it!), and now they say it's bent up? I don't know why the repair shop didn't tell us this! We even sent in the response card that came with it that contains the serial number and stuff (which is supposed to ensure information for whenever you need help on the unit). I caution everyone to bring the machine to be inspected to see if it could malfunction, or buy a different brand, or take extremely good care of this machine.
