take this 1!

by masterr , Feb 15 '00
Pros: easy to use, small, practical, cheap
Cons: none!
Have you been thinking about a portable CD player? Why would you think that? Mini discs (MD) are the latest technology! The AIWA AM-F70 is all you will ever need. Many people advise you to buy the Sony MD player, but why buy that, if the AIWA AM-F70 is...

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...

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...

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...

by rschndler9 , Mar 17 '00
Pros: everything
Cons: flimsy remote
Aiwa is a very reputable company, which is supported by Sony. With this MD player, they have developed another great product. What sets this player from others is its perfect design and its easy to use interface. The sound quality is great, and like...

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...

Full featured and good looking

by snarshad , Nov 25 '99
Pros: Full feature set, great design, easy to use
Cons: No good car power adaptor available, remote's pause button ambiguous
This is one of the nicest portable minidisc recorders I've seen. At $300 (circuit city, J&R), it's a great price for what it offers.

I do believe that this is the best looking portable minidisc player out there. The indiglo is nice - but...

Portable Greatness!

by kauza , Nov 25 '99
Pros: Small and light, great features, fully backlit, great remote, very easy to use.
Cons: Headphones kinda crappy, batteries don't last very long.
As soon as I saw it, I knew the Aiwa AM-F70 was the player/recorder for me. The look of it is great. It has a sleek silver color, and the buttons, display, and dial are all in very good places. They make use from the unit very easy. The unit is also...

Heaven in your pocket

by garcia420 , Apr 10 '00
Pros: Small, Lightweight, Nice looking,Medium Quality Sound, Convenient
Cons: Medium-high price range, Low quality headphones,Fragile
The Aiwa AM-F70 Mini-disc player is the greatest electronic music player/recorder that I have seen out on the market up to date. It is small and very pleasing to the eyes. It has a smooth silver cover that makes it look indestructible and also very...

Best electronic device I've ever bought

by clappazon , Mar 24 '00
Pros: Compact, high quality, digital music, earphones look cool
Cons: Chord for earphones a bit short
I bought the Aiwa AM-F70 for one reason, portable music.

I chose this particular minidisc system for the long battery life. The rechargeable battery regularly lasts ten hours plus and recharging is quick.

The added value is the...

I love my Aiwa!

by alexaugot , Nov 27 '99
Pros: Sleek profile, great recording features, neat remote, jog wheel makes it easy to title songs, great DAC, cool Swoop headphones, never ever skips
Cons: Sound is a little low, analogue recordings don't sound as good as digital.
I love my MiniDisc player/recorder. I'm somewhat of an audiophile, so I like to be on the bleeding edge of technology. MiniDisc's are a relatively new format for audio. Unlike CD's, MD's are tiny ( about 1/4 the size of CD's ), re-recordable, and...

Such promise was evident

by Chris_Tal , Apr 26 '00
Pros: Looks good, sounds good and has a great remote
Cons: It died. NO line out!! no digital out :(
It was either MD or mp3. mp3 is too early, one hour of poor quality tunes for the same price as higher, in my view, quality and longer play (just pop in another disc). One can also record on the move with a recordable MD player. So thats what it was to...

Way Cool!!!!

by StevieP , Oct 08 '99
Pros: Sleek design, performance, ease of use
Cons: Not too portable, could be louder
I'd do anything to eliminate cassettes from my life, but I always liked being able to make and edit my own music mixes. Thank you Mini Disc!

With the mini disc there's no more rewinding, warping, or worn out cassettes, yet you have all the...

Aiwa has never let me down

by mixylplik3 , Mar 20 '00
Pros: Convenient, nice backlighting, jog dial
Cons: THOSE HORRID HEADPHONES!
I bought the Aiwa AM-F70 for $279 at Tweeter. I was getting it to replace the entry-level Sony bundle that had a basic player and home stereo component. I was quite underwhelmed with that, but have been very happy with the Aiwa.

First of all,...

Better then a CD Player?

by primax , Jan 16 '00
Pros: Great music quality, cool look, record all your favorite songs on one disc
Cons: i haven't found any yet!
The Aiwa Mini Disc player must have been the greatest item I have ever bought! It is much smaller then a Portable CD Player and it hardly ever skips, unlike the CD Player. The MiniDisc's themselves are small and can hold as much music as a regular CD...
