Product Description
Sony's stylish MZ-G755 MiniDisc portable MiniDisc recorder offers a host of great features including an AM/FM tuner with 40 presets and up to 48 hours playback on a single AA type alkaline battery. The MZ-G755 is Sony's only portable MiniDisc recorder to feature an integrated AM/FM radio tuner (on the in-line remote control) so it's ideal for those wanting to listen to their favourite radio shows as well as any MiniDisc recordings. With the 40 second G-Shock Protection System your music will remain on-track even if you're jogging off the beaten track. If you want to cram more music per MiniDisc, the MDLP recording/playback modes will be invaluable. With an 80-minute MiniDisc it is possible to record up to five hours of material when using MDLP 4. Other cool features on the MZ-G755 include synchronised recording, digital Mega Bass and digital recording-level control. The MZ-G755 comes complete with headphones, rechargeable battery, AC adapter and a carrying case (belt-clip type) and represents excellent value for money.

As a recent returnee to the world of portable music I spent a lot of time researching the advances made in this field before deciding on the Sony MZ-G755 minidisc player. My needs were simple- I wanted good quality sound reproduction without the need to carry too much junk around with me all day, plus I wanted a radio too keep up with the news as I travelled. From the moment it arrived the MZ-G755 impressed! A small silver unit ( smaller than a packet of cigarretes! )with a remote control about the size of an AA battery. The unit is admirable portable and if it wasn't for the Headphone wires ( that double as an antenna for the radio ) you wouldn't know that you had it with you! Recording onto the device is a joy due to the synchronized record facility and the optical cable supplied with the unit. You have 4 compression options when recording allowing up to 520 minutes on each disk! In practice I have found the LP2 mode the most satisfactory allowing 160 minutes of music with no noticable drop in quality! Carrying this unit in it's neat carry pouch with an additional couple of disks stowed in my pocket gives all the variety that I need for a days commuting. Battery life is good, one AA cell lasts me over a week and that's using it for the best part of 3 hours per day! Considering that the radio is actually contained in the remote control unit reception is fantastic. Although,as I expected, reception does deteriorate in built up areas and on trains etc.. But that's the point of two units in one! when the radio reception is poor - switch to music from the MD. When I ordered this device I thought that it was expensive but if you are a fan of quality music on the move and need a radio as well as music then this is the device you want! Good job Sony!

I aint had an MD before. I knew I wanted one with a radio so choice was pretty limited. However I'm quite chuffed with this, despite having nothing to compare to.
Reading other reviews people always bang on about sound quality but for my hearing sound aint such a great issue. Also with it being just that, a portable gadget, sound aint going to be top notch anyway? Its perfectly adequate for me. I would say though that after my old walkman casette radio, even i could notice and appreciate the big improvement in sound quality. The radio is pretty good when out and about in the town or country but it aint been tested in larger urban areas yet. I was impressed with the way it found the stations on auto find etc. when setting up. Not bad for a little thing.
I also like the feel of the MD. It is nice and compact and feels solid. It makes the right sort of noises when opening to insert a disc etc.If you're a bloke you'll know what I mean. I also like the way the disc pops half out when you open the case to change it.
The one rechargable battery is great, it lasts plenty long enough before needing recharging, and anything that lasts for eight hours is more than adequate when it can easily be chargeed up again.
The remote is good too. The hold button on the remote overides the hold on the MD which which is handy, and all the different functions and positions on it are soon learnt.
The machine is supposed to be jog proof but dont believe a word.Its not too bad if you can position it on your person that limits the MD's movement, but if you're a jogger with the grace of an elephant as am I, uninterupted sound on the MD will be hard to achieve. A mate told me that if the thing had moving parts it wouldnt be jog proof, and he was right. However flick the MD onto radio as opposed to disc for jogging.
The little pouch to hold the MD is fine for the task when a jacket etc doesnt have an adequate pocket. I reckon the belt clip could have had a little lip on it to stop it slipping off the belt etc.
I've still to try the recording functions as I have a MD hifi seperate prior to buying this but i'm sure that'll be as simple
as the rest of the MD. The MD came with a cable fro the task.
One of the best things about this MD is price with Amazon which I found to be about £40 cheaper than the cheapest place i could find elsewhere, so I reckon I've got a good little machine at an excellent price. It arrived 3/4 days after I posted my cheque off which I thought was great service. I'm not at all disappointed in this item and can find no reason to put other people off from getting one, and thats coming from Mr Picky, the most picky person from McPicky land!

Having returned to commuting on public transport I decided that some music on the move was required and my old cassette Sony Walkman just didn't cut it anymore. So I opted for the MZ-G755 in order to be able to both record CD's and have the radio option. And I am genuinely impressed. Straight out of the box I'd recorded a couple of CD's on LP4 and they sound great. The unit itself is small, light, and easy to use ... the remote can be used to control the MD as well as the radio. It also comes with a rechargeable battery that charges in the unit. The only gripe I have is the headphones - they work fine but one of the cables is a bit short and keeps pulling the headphone out of my ear. As long as it lasts as long as my cassette Walkman (13 years or so) I'll be happy. You could do a hell of a lot worse and at the Amazon price I reckon it's a top bargain.
