Product Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars MZ-R501, 28 Aug 2002
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sony MZ-R501 Blue Recordable Walkman, 15 Jun 2002
I recently bought this model in a blue colour, the blue gives it a more attractable colour. when i got it home i was disappointed that I had to purchase some cables to record from my hi-fi, but it was only £5.00, so wasn't much. LP4 is great and I dont belive it sounds too much different, pretty much the same, the bass is brilliant. Besides having to buy a cable, I also found that a remote would have been handy, so I purchased one, which makes a lot of different if you are on the move.The battery life is also very good, 44 hours may not seem long compared to other model's, but it does last long. Overall I am happy with this product and would advise any new mini disk buyer to purchase one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad Baby, 28 Jan 2002
By liamliddy@hotmail.com (North lincs England) - See all my reviews
This is a superb recorder from sony featuring many important features such as Mdlp- enabling 320 mins of music on one disk.Enables digital or analogue recording from many sources. Looks great,comes with optical digital lead,ac adapter... A very good player but if recording in lp4 mode when lapelling tracks there is a limited amount of characters and they run out fairly quickly.
