Product Description
Move to your music on the go with Sony's MZ-R909 Recordable MiniDisc Walkman. This MD Walkman will slip easily into your pocket so that you can enjoy your favourite tunes just about anywhere. Featuring, up to 145 hours battery life, a full aluminium body with a brushed metal design, battery charging cradle, MDLP Long Time Stereo Recording and Playback, Skip-Free G-Protection technology and a new stick style remote control with "INDEX" search function, the MZ-R909 keeps the music coming so you can keep on going.
This stylish aluminium-cased 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, with an advanced system that provides more than 10-times faster shock recovery compared to conventional systems, and ensuring perfect playing performance without skipping, even during such active uses as jogging. A new stick style remote control with an editing function provides direct access to the player's functions and has stereo mini-jack on remote for headphones.
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. Multiple Playback Modes Including Normal, Repeat (1/All/Shuffle/Program), Shuffle lets you play through a MiniDisc from start to end, or repeat one track or all tracks, or play tracks in random (shuffle) order.
The MZ-R909 is packed with other useful features. A group function enables you to organise and find songs easily. A battery charging cradle is included for ease-of-use. An easy eject mechanism makes for easy loading and unloading--the lid pops up and ejects the disc approximately 1/2 inch. Character input while recording lets you create or modify individual track information as the MiniDisc is being recorded. 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 Best MD Ever!,
This review is from: Sony MZ-R909 Silver Recordable MiniDisc Walkman (Electronics)
The Sony MZ-R909 is one of the best MD walkmans ever. It is packed full of useful features. It is very easy and simple to use with the aid of the jog Dial which proves to be very handy and quick to use. Recording is very easy indeed. All you do is play the music you want to record, hook up your walkman and press record. I have to admit that I needed to buy another cable but that was only because my Hi-Fi is really old. The remote is very handy and stylish. It means you don't have to go reaching into your pocket to alter the volume or go onto the next track etc. but it lacks a record button. Most of the features on the walkman are accessible via the remote so it is very handy. The MZ-R909 is great if you are new to the MiniDisc phenomeon and at a relatively low price as well. The manual is almost made redundant as it is so easy to use but it is required to look up technical terms such as AVSL and so on. The Battery life is incredible and can last for a very long time with very short recharging times. Although, when recording, the battery power is used up very quickly. The package comes with a recharable battery which is used in conjunction with the charging cradle and it also comes with an external, dry battery linking device where you place a normal AA battery inside and connect it up to the walkman and use normally. I haven'y found a use for this yet as teh rechargable battery is so long lasting but it can be used as a backup. It also adds on a bit of extra weight and it makes the walkman bigger but it can be quite useful. Overall this is a great, small, stylish, lightweight, affordable, useful, easy to use and durable little MD walkman, so BUY IT!!!

A Good Unit,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony MZ-R909 Silver Recordable MiniDisc Walkman (Electronics)
This sony mini-disc recorder is amazing. It is almost like the MZR-900 but with many more features, first what strikes me first is the amazingly small size of this player. It is so small and yet has so many functions you wonder where they are. This is Sony's first unit to have group mode that allows you to put groups on your Mini Disc(many users found it annoying to go through all the tracks and using LP4 you could have over 50 tracks on one mini-disc). The choice is yours to keep it on but i find it extremey useful. The unit has a 3 Dot-Matrix screen showing you all the vital information you need to see. The buttons are layed out very well, and it has a Jog Diall that fully rotates(gets you into the main/complex system). The Mini-Disc Long Pay option is very good, letting you record up to 5 hours of music on a 80minust mini disc(using LP4). The remote supplied with it is as good as it gets, but if i was forced to make a crtisism about it i would say that having the option to record from the remote would have been nice. All in all this is a very solid unit and one of the tops around.

Manic Minidisc Masterclass...,
By
This review is from: Sony MZ-R909 Silver Recordable MiniDisc Walkman (Electronics)
Once again I ummed and ahhed for months over which Minidisc player to buy. Should I go for the NetMD or should I stick to the standard technology. My two main uses for the Minidisc recorder were copying stuff from CD so I can listen to music on the MD-changer in the car, and also recording samples and live gigs using an external microphone.Because I wasn't really that fussed about hooking the recorder upto my PC and copying across MP3's - I decided to save £50 by plumping for the top-end 'standard' model, over the top-end NetMD model. And it was the right decision. The MZ-R909 is a lovely looking piece of kit, small enough to fit in the palm of my big sweaty hand yet strong enough to withstand my squeezing. While the loading mechanism appears a little flimsy, once the machine is closed everything is solid. The external remote-stick is a welcome inclusion - and is backlit for those dark nights. Using the additional AA battery, battery-life easily complies with the boasted levels - but does run down much quicker when recording, then when playing back. Hooking the unit up to a stereo for recording is easy - providing your CD has an optical out - the cable for this is included. Hooking it up for playback will require you to purchase an audio-jack to twin phono cable - but these are available from all highstreet audio outlets for a few quid. The charging cradle is also quite funky looking, and will appeal to all gadget lovers. And the leather-effect carry case is just what you need to ellicit stares of intrigue on the train... To sum up: I was using the machine within five minutes of unpacking, and within 24 hours I'd already filled 20 blank discs. Highly recommended.
