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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
Pros: Good Looks, Good Battery Life, Good Value, Jog Dial Cons: Move up to the AM-F80, the F70 is aging a little
When I got this machine about a year ago, I had a choice between this machine, SONY MZ-R55, and the SHARP MT-821. These were the best ones out there, and well, the Panasonic MR-100 came into play, but because of rumoured bad sound quality, I didn't even...
Pros: great recording and playback, nice jog dial feature Cons: soft casing susceptible to dents, cumbersome battery pack connects only by power cord
This is a great over all mini disc player. the remote is intuative and easy to use. the li-ion battery lasts for about 10 hours when playing and recording for about 3-4 hours with the li-ion battery. you can use the cumbersome battery pack, which holds...
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...
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...
Pros: size, long playback, backlit LCD, large buttons, easy to use, looks great, solid design Cons: sound quality(relative to Sony models)
I bought my first MD player because of it's versatility and convenience over the traditional cassette and CD players. The MD player/recorder incorporates the technology of a CD burner and the sound quality of a CD player all into one machine half the...
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...
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,...
Pros: great unit at a fair price Cons: clamshell loading
The aiwa AM-f70, one of the smaller mini disc recorders available, has many features that place it above its competition. The unit, solid and compact, is the only one of its kind with a supreme back lit display. the display on the intelligently designed...
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...
Pros: Size, jog dial, remote control, headphones, battery Cons: Length of headphone cable, headphone sound quality
I bought the Aiwa AM-F70 a couple of months ago and so far it has been great. I haven't had any problems with it, and compared to the other portable minidisc products I've used, I'd rate this one the best.
Pros: cheap, jogwheel for titling, backlit display Cons: large remote, can't adjust digital record level
I bought an Aiwa AM-F70 minidisc recorder because it was cheaper than most of the other models. It was released about a year and a half ago so it isn't as small as some of the other models but it is still small enough. It's dimensions are: 97 mm L, 77.6...
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...
Pros: Recording softwear, digital recording Cons: headphone design, piracy protection
I have come to the conclusion that mini disc is the new media for music in the future. Not only does the mini disc offer a more versitile format for music, but also offers up less space and more effectiveness of design. Aiwa adds more to these benefits...
Pros: lots of features, good sound, versatility Cons: may have to purchase digital cable separately
I have owned many cassette players and cd players, all of which broke within a year or so, but after I received this md player as a graduation present from my folks, I have experienced an entirely different musical system.The Aiwa AM-F70 comes with a...
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...
Pros: Usability, sound, quality of construction Cons: Slightly larger than others
This player totally rocks. The sound is excellent, the features are complete, and above all, the screen and buttons are very usable unlike the inferior Sony MD player/recorders. Don't get fooled by the price! Many MD players are just that, players....
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:
Pros: small, great sound, love the buttons, jog dial Cons: headphones
This is an awesome product. It's sound quality is super. I bought one 2 months ago and it's great! It's strong metal and will not break like other cheaper models. The headphones aren't so hot but that isn't a big deal. The bass boost is huge! I...
Pros: small, can hold all your favorite songs, make your own mixes Cons: expensive, takes time to learn all of its functions
Have you ever wished that you could your own personal jukebox that you could just carry around with you wherever you went? Well your wish has come true in the form of the minidisc player. Aiwa's AM-F70 minidisc player is one of the best on the market...
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...
Pros: Small, efficient design. The keypad lights up too! Cons: The extra battery pack is cumbersome, Should have a Optical out as well
I bought this for my wife for last Xmas... We both love it!
It does a great job of recording anything, anywhere, anytime. It's small compact and very user friendly. It also has the plus of having an optical line in for those who want to record...
Pros: Easy to use, Very cool looking (opposite sex magnet), Good features Cons: Remote control is flimsy, recording sound levels can get distorted
I bought the Aiwa AM-F70 about 4 months ago, and I'm generally pleased with the product. It has all the nifty features (naming the minidisc and the tracks, cool jog handle, remote, those attractive swoops headphones) that one would want in a player,...
Pros: looks good, has good features Cons: falls apart really soon
I bought this minidisc recorder thinking it looked like a good buy. It had all these features and stuff, man I was glad to get this puppy. It had the glowing LCD, it was really thin, it looked really cool. It even had recording from the remote...
Pros: rechargeable battery, lightweight, small Cons: short headphone cord length
The Aiwa AM-F70 minidisc recorder/player is another quality product of Aiwa's. I purchased this product a year and a half ago and have been happy with it the whole time. It is easy to use and to record your own music. It has a wired remote so you can...
Pros: WOW-size Wow-quality WOW! Cons: Remote wiring ONLY
WOW...that is all that is nesassary to say. For the price I spent ($230)
I have now come to the conclusion I have never bought a better music playing device. You can do all music editing onboard and the unit is great! Its very hard to believe even...
Pros: size, clarity, rewritability, quality doesnt fade Cons: buttons are small, so awesome you run out of batteries cause you cant put it down
This product is awesome. Great sound, cd clarity and a third of the size. Hides away in a pocket perfectly for those boring classes in school. All you need is blank mini discs and another sound source like a radio or cd player and you can make youre own...
Pros: Great Battery Life, Solid, Extremely Convenient Cons: Just A Little Big
Out of all the minidisc recorders I have, the Aiwa AM-F70 has got to be the best one. It's not only the best it's the cheapest. It cost me only $200! The battery life is also the great. I could record for about 6 hours and listen to music for about 14...
Pros: good price, backlit display Cons: digital bass boost is a little iffy
I bought this product right before a trip because I had broken my CD player. What a great investment! I paid 200 dollars for it at Bryn Mawr Stereo and Video and have had no problems since. The backlit display and remote are great for listening at...
Pros: good sound, awsome features. Cons: expencive
i was recently very very interested in a minidisc player. I looked around the i-net and saw many good thing about the AM-F70. When i finally bought it i was amazed. The accessories were good, the looks were amazing and the sound was awsome. I recomend...
