Aiwa AM-F70 Personal MiniDisc Player

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: Small, light, very convenient controls.
Cons: External battery back is awkward

This isn't the smallest or sexiest minidisc recorder out there, but it's still very small and very functional.

I bought one to replace my aging Sharp 701, and I'm very happy with my purchase. The recording quality is excellent, the jog dial...

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:
Size of unit - it's not...

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...
