Great price for a great player/recorder!

by kitkit201 , Jul 21 '01
Pros: Backlight, multi-jog, thin
Cons: Weak bass, tall, not user-friendly
This review is for the Aiwa AM-F70, Asia version.

I got this player from connections through my friends, so the player wasn't in the best condition. However, my review will not be based on the fact that the player is used, or abused, but...

Mini-Disk is a Many Don't

by dan2k , Jun 23 '01
Pros: Rechargeable battery, recording capability, wired remote control
Cons: Real-time recording only, expensive format (mini disks), limited amount of prerecorded disks
» Describe your experience using this product.
Out of the box, the Aiwa MD AM-F70 is extremely simple to use (assuming you already have a minidisk to either play or record with). For the recordable minidisks, there is a variety of recording...

Best MD player I've had yet

by snobrd63 , Jun 06 '01
Pros: rechargeable Li-ion battery, indiglo LCD screen on unit & remote, jog dial
Cons: screen scratches easily, not so sturdy
Like I said, I've had three MiniDisc players and this was definitely the best one. My brother recommended that I did'nt buy it because, "Sony invented the walkman, the portable CD, and the Minidisc so they must be the best". I'm not sure about this,...

Sleek, Cool performance

by ungalicious , Apr 27 '01
Pros: blue LCD display, jog shuttle, DSL bass, remote, 40 sec shock protection
Cons: moderate battery life
Typical Japanese engineering...tiny, compact, and cool. Two years ago, I was one of the few who owned or knew what an MD player was! This player has been a great investment, I can say for certain that is much better looking than other players by Sony or...

Not the Best Out There

by lensephlare , Mar 06 '01
Pros: Good battery life, Small compact size
Cons: Poor sound quality, flimsy remote, Synchro recording has something to be desired
I recently purchased this unit for the price of 250 dollars (american) and I found it completely satisfactory for about the first month or so. I have had it in my possession for about six months now, and it has been replaced by a sony MZR-90, a unit...

Nice player for the price

by ab___123 , Feb 25 '01
Pros: Good Look, Clear LCD display, Good sound (when buy new headphones), Jog Dial VERY useful
Cons: Doesnt feel very strong, headphones, Quite bulky, Remote lead too short, manual could be better
This unit looks very good, which drew my eyes to it, especially the backlit LCD screen. The display is very good as long as you hold it right, the LCD display cannot be seen from all angles, but tilt the player a little and it displays clearly. The...

Aiwa MD the Good and Bad

by jpa25 , Jan 08 '01
Pros: compact, battery life, record from any source
Cons: unit failed after 1 month, real time recording only, poor sound quality
I bought the Aiwa AM-F70 mini-disc player last Christmas. I was looking for an MP3 player, but I decided to go with a mini-disc player because of its versatility.

At the time the AM-F70 was the smallest MD unit available; today it is still...

AM-F70: Live Recorders Dream!

by gretax , Dec 09 '00
Pros: Live tapers Minidisc recorder of choice.
Cons: Sound output direct to headphones isn't best
The Aiwa AM-F70 has quickly become the unit of choice in the dark, delicious world of live taping, even more so that it's newer/"younger" brother, the AM-C80. Let's look at it's knockout combination for live recording:

Backlit...

Cool little gadget.

by ashtontt , Nov 13 '00
Pros: Loaded with features, relatively inexpensive, and looks great.
Cons: Remote doesn't feel very sturdy, and the cable on the remote is short.
I got this MD recorder as a Christmas present a year ago. Actually I got money for it and I bought it from www.minidisco.com for $250. The one I have is the black Japanese version. I don't know why, but somehow I thought that the US version was made...

by Ajos2 , Nov 12 '00
Pros: Very Easy to use
Cons: Uncomfortable headphones, and Bad Remote control set up
The Aiwa Fm-70 is one of the better mini disc's out there. I bought my mini disc over this past summer, and I did extencive research on it. I was originaly going to buy an Mp3 player, but realized that there weren't to many good ones out there. I was...

Aiwa Rocks!

by jspali15 , Oct 18 '00
Pros: Reliable, jogging dial, long battery life, digital recording capabilities
Cons: none
I bought my Aiwa MD recorder at the beginning of last summer (1999). There are several reasons why I bought my MD player. First of all, I was sick of carrying around a discman that wouldn't fit in my pocket. I would have to either hold it or stick it...

Top of the line

by raasnio , Oct 07 '00
Pros: fully lit remote, ease of use, looks
Cons: none that I can think of.
After being exposed to minidiscs, it wasn't long before I had decided that I had to own a MD player. In all honesty, the AIWA unit caught my eye immediately with it's silver body and handy controls. Having stood out from the competition so profoundly, I...

by rizzen , Aug 29 '00
Pros: jog dial control, long battery life, easy to operate
Cons: i have yet to have any problems
When you have the headphones on and you're grooving, the last thing you want is for the batteries in your player to run out of juice. But with the Aiwa, you'll probably run out of juice before the player does. With just the rechargeable battery, You can...
