Product Description
Move to your music on the go with Sony's MZ-R501 Recordable MiniDisc Walkman. This MD Walkman will slip easily into your pocket so that you can enjoy your favourite tunes just about anywhere. Featuring MDLP long time stereo recording and playback, Skip-Free G-Protection technology and a playback battery life of up to 48 hours from a single AA battery, the MZ-R501 keeps the music coming so you can keep on going.
This stylish silver finished MiniDisc Walkman easily slips into a pocket for personal enjoyment just about anywhere. MDLP Long Time Stereo Recording and Playback lets you record 2x (LP2) or 4x (LP4) longer on an 80-minute MiniDisc to provide as much as 320 minutes (over five hours) of music with excellent sound quality. G-Protection technology makes the MD Walkman an ideal on-the-go companion, ensuring perfect playing performance without skipping even during such active uses as jogging.
Digital Mega Bass sound system provides rich, deep bass tones with digital signal processing for virtually inaudible harmonic distortion. Digital recording level control allows you to achieve a consistent recording level on your MiniDisc no matter what the source of your recording.
The MZ-R501 is packed with other useful features. A pop-up eject mechanism makes for easy loading and unloading. The LCD display includes indicators that alert you to the time left on the MiniDisc for additional recording or to conclude playback, and provides a visible symbol of remaining battery power. The MZ-R501 is supplied with an AC adapter, optical cable and headphones.

This isnt the first MD player I have purchased but it is the best. I tried out the LP4 function (enables 320 minutes on one 74 minute diskette) and was really chuffed. The sound quality through headphones is exactly the same but if you are playing back through a Hi-Fi you can lose a bit of quality it depends on what your taste in music is, generally good quality though.
I got the Red hot chillis-Jimmy Eat World-Green Day and NOFX on one Diskette and theres still over 100 minutes remaining for me to fill up. I think a remote would be handy but ive always had walkmans without remotes so its not too big a problem for me, you can pick these up from anywhere for minimal cost nowadays so it isnt too bad, besides your getting one helluva MD player/recorder for under £150 not bad going by any standards. One feature that was very useful is the shuffle repeat function, it sifts through all four of the albums I put on giving me a mixture of moods and music to listen to on those boring train journeys into and out of work. If your going to buy a MD player you cant go wrong with this one.

This MD recorder is the most basic recorder model from sony, comes with headphones,power adaptor & a digital cable.(I did have to buy a cable for £4 to record from my stereo)The LP4 mode means you can get 320 mins on one disk, and the diffrent displays and play modes are handy. It dosn't skip when your moving around which is a vast improvement on cd players + it fits in my pocket which my old cd player never came close to!. if you dont want to pay a fourtune or you dont need a high tech model with features you will never use buy this one, does all you want & need.

MZ-R501
Overall very good MD player
Advantages - Very Compact
- Looks great
- Very Very Very Very Long battery life (40 hours + of play back time off one AA battery!)
- Sounds good, clear
- MDLP4 allows 5 hours of music on one disc
- Quality drop, but you can live with it
Disadvantages - not back light display
- no remote control (not really necessary though)
- Random play on 5 hour disc will not remember the tracks already played so may randomly select the same track several times before play other tracks on the disc for the first time, - (just small things, really picking to get them)
Still what other MD player can give you 40 hours plus off one battery, awesome!
