Product Description

Aiwa's AM-F70 has a few unique features that set it apart from similarly-priced units. The most distinctive is an ice-blue backlit display on both the headphone cord and main player. Unlike other current portables, it also allows 2X playback at the same pitch in both mono and stereo (no "Alvin and the Chipmunks" syndrome). The F70's 40-second shock buffer makes the unit operate virtually skip-free - even if you're running. A special jog/shuttle makes titling tracks a bit easier. Recording is simple because the F70 has the ability to synchro start/stop (through both digital and analog inputs) as soon it detects source material. There are a number of playback options, including programming tracks (Sharp's MD units don't have this feature) and a title search function that lets you look for and queue one track while another plays. Titling can take place while you listen, too. Aiwa elected to include a pair of Swoops neckband headphones, in-ear versions of Sony's street style headphones. As far as battery life goes, Aiwa claims you can get up to 40 hours of playback time (16 hours recording) if you connect the external battery case (requires three AA batteries). That's tops for MD recorders. It features one-point stereo microphone. Time mark function automatically marks a recording every five minutes, so it's easy to scan a recording of a long meeting or lecture to find key passages.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Aiwa AM-F70 Portable MD Recorder/Player is a portable recorder/player for minidiscs. Capable of both playing CD-quality sound as well as recording it, the Aiwa AM-F70's capabilities defy its 19.3-millimeter size. The Aiwa AM-F70 is equipped with 40-second antishock and Dyanmic Super Linear sound. It boasts a battery life of up to 40 hours and even has a three-point battery monitor so you'll know before the power runs out. Three-way input and the 20-bit digital/analog converter provide you with a host of recording options.

Playback functions include 25-track programmable play and a jog dial to get you to the exact song on the disc. The unit includes an AC adapter, a carrying case, headphones, rechargeable battery, and an LCD-backlit remote.

cool.......2002-09-24

This MD is like the best, it saves batteries and is worth the price, i would even pay more

A good minidisc player.......2002-01-16

Love the design, rechargable battery, headphones, backlit lcd, sound quality.

Wish it had a belt clip, was lighter.

Never use the carrying case (it's a bag with a drawstring), optical cable (my stereo's not good enough to have an optical out)

Hate that it takes as long to record as tapes do, and that I can almost never record for the entire 74 minutes of a disc. I mean I can but when I play it back it starts to skip after about 50 minutes.

I also had trouble with the door on mine (one day it stopped opening), and the discs no longer eject themselves when I open it, I have to stick my finger in and pull them out.

It can skip too.

The poor man's DAT beats the alternatives like a bass drum.......2000-05-11

I've had this unit for 6 months now and have zero complaints. Audio quality is excellent, despite the flak that MD audio compression takes from critics who mistakenly believe it takes a $1000 DAT unit to get high fidelity recordings. I've used the AM-F70 with binaural mics to record concerts and have been extremely pleased with the results, which I would say give similar DAT recordings a real run for their money.

Short term satisfaction.......2000-04-03

When I first purchased this mini disc player i was reallypleased with its sound quality. The only things that dissapointed mewere the lack of high volume, the remote and the fact that the headphones broke within the first day. I was still happy though, and was for a month. But one day i took the player out of my bag and pressed play. Instead of hearing high quality recordings i heard nothing and my mini disc player flashed me a caution message. The 'customer help' guys at aiwa told me to do things to the player that didn't help it at all and they finally gave me an address to ship it to. Luckly I didn't have to pay for anything except for shipping but it was still a major pain to not have the player for a good 2 months. Aiwa products have been known to break after short periods of time. Try Sony for a more reliable product END

I purchased this MD player/recorder off of Amazon.com about a month ago, and so far it is awesome!

About the only complaints that I have are: One, the remote could use a little bit of work, due to the fact that the cord lengths aren't the best. And two, the external battery pack is kind of big, but I rarely use it anyway.

Some of the nicest features it offers are: The headphones...they're really awesome, and have pretty nice sound as well. Even though the external battery pack is big, the 40hours of playback time is REALLY nice. And lastly, the ease of use...I read through the manual in about 10 minutes and started recording my first MD.

If you're thinking about getting a minidisc player, this is one of the best ones out there!
