Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Sony MZ-NF810 Net MiniDisc Tuner Walkman offers great looks, a compact design, up to 82 hours battery life, an AM/FM radio and the ability to store over five hours of music on one 80-minute MiniDisc.

MiniDisc technology has come on leaps and bounds these past few years. As the units have become smaller, the battery life and storage capacity have increased. The MZ-NF810 is a compact unit that fits nicely into a pocket or in your hand. The player boasts an LCD display for track listings and other such information, as well as offering all the buttons you'll need to get the most out of the device. For direct audio recording the user has the option of microphone, digital optical and line-in sockets. Those with a PC can connect the MZ-NF810 to their computer via the USB socket.

Connecting the unit to your computer via USB allows you transfer CD audio, MP3, WMA and WAV files using the included SonicStage software. The software converts the audio files into Sony's ATRAC TYPE-S format before transfer. You can also change the audio quality setting to give yourself more music per disc. When it comes to recording, the MZ-NF810 does an admirable job too. With the Quick mode you can have faster queuing and FF/RW speeds in exchange for battery life. The unit also offers a bookmark track function for easy access to relevant recordings.

Listening to your favourite compilation is one thing; having the ability to keep up to date with the latest happenings in the world is another--the MZ-NF810 also features a FM/AM radio.

The MZ-NF810 is powered by a rechargeable Ni-MH battery, which is charged via the included cradle. There is also the option of adding an additional 'AA' type battery via a connectable battery dock. The additional battery dock will be appreciated by those who plan to be away from the charging cradle for any length of time. The remote control also serves as the main conduit to the player, allowing the main unit to be hidden out of sight.

Aesthetics aside, the sound quality is very good. The player comes with six graphic equaliser settings and a virtual surround mode to enhance your listening pleasure. While sounding like a whim, the virtual mode is actually very good and on test, it actually took away that hard edge normally found when listening to music through headphones.

Overall this is a very comprehensive player and delivers the goods. The slim and compact aluminium body does convey a sense of durability and it looks like it could take a few knocks. The ability to add a further battery can be a useful if you're out and about. --Jason Denwood

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Best MD Player around!, 15 Jul 2003
    By Jonathan Williams (Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
    What can I say?! This minidisc player is brilliant value, because it includes an AM/FM radio as well as 32x high quality recording and of course plays them! The sound quality is excellent, and the remote makes programming a whole lot easier, because you can clip it anywhere. It can have a remarkable 50 hours play on a single AA battery (70 if used in conjunction with the rechargable) and comes complete with charging cradle and all necessary cables to get started.
    I found it very easy to learn the controls of the recording and playing and could probably control it with my eyes shut: it is that simple!
    All in all, this is a fantastic package, well worth the price. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a minidisc player!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Top buy, 3 Jan 2004
    By A Customer
    This is a great minidisc player and does exactly waht it says on the desription. The quality is top even when on the MDLP function. I found out after purcahsing the mz-nf810 that using an optical lead you can transfer music cd's straight onto your minidisc player from a sony portable cd player. This is great as when my computer is temprementle i can still transfer my music. The radio is quality and so are the recordings from it(It might take a bit of time to get your head round how to record but after reading the manual is quite simple).
    Appearance wise its cool and the colour is slightly different than on the picture. Its a lighter silver and looks nicer than i expected it to, and nicer than it does in the picture.
    The only slight problem is that if you want to use the player without the radio attatchment then the headphones are extremely short and you will need to buy some longer ones inless you intend on wearing the player in a high jacket pocket, but any other pockets would make it impossible for them to reach your ears.
    If you want a minidisc player there is not better one on the market with these great features. The radio, MDLP mode, and NETMD gives it all the added functions you could possibly want. There is a case altough you may want to purchase a more substantial one or one with an armband.
    (nothing to do with the actually minidisc player but it might be an idea to buy minidiscs that come in a box as they are easy to misplace and it keeps them in order. also remember that the sound quality can depend on the type of minidisc you by and the manufacturor. i have not had a faulty disc yet but a friend had one that just wouldnt let you record onto it. even with the best manufacturors this is enevatble every once in a while.)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 25 Dec 2003
    By A Customer
    Well, I got this as my first Minidisc recorder, mainly for the reason that portable CD players are far too big. I considered an mp3 player, but I read about the Minidisc format and the fact that each disc can hold 160MB of music in a format as small as mp3 convinced me to buy Minidisc.
    The unit itself is compact, and "feels" very nice indeed. It has a metallic finish that seems tough aswell as looking nice. The buttons "click" nicely and the unit seems sturdy and well built. The remote control is nice, but is a bit too big. I saw the remote on a friends MZN710 and thought it would be of around the same size, but because of the incorporated radio it is a bit too big and heavy. However, this is not a real problem. The radio reception is acceptable, but not great.
    The battery life on the unit is quite astounding. I was used to my old Sony CD player using two AA batteries in a couple of days listening, but I have listened to my MZNF810 for nearly 20 hours in five days off a full charge, and the battery indicator is still at two bars, and this is without the attached AA batttery.
    The software included with the unit is perhaps the only bad point about the whole package. I installed it, the PC recognised the Minidisc straight off, and was set to go, but even with the detailed manual it took me half an hour to find out how exactly to import music to the "Music Drive" and record it. As I first used it, I tried to import my playlist of 300 or so songs, and it locked up straight away. My Windows XP system has not locked up once in more than two months, but this managed to do so! Although it could be argued that it was because I tried to import too many songs at once, Windows Media Player and Winamp both handle the playlist easily.
    Once you've got used to the limitations of the software, it is fairly easy to use. Tracks are transferred at very high speed, and the transferring process is simple and works very well. The claim of "5 hours 20 minutes on one disc" is however, a bit false. In LP4 mode, sound quality is noweher near great; it is approximately equal to 64Kbps mp3, which is OK, but LP2 souns much better and I have used only LP2 in my recordings, as it gives the best time to quality compromise.
    All in all, despite a few flaws, I would highly recommend this recorder to anyone.
