Sharp MD-MS702 Personal MiniDisc Player

Pros: compact, light, plays and records
Cons: battery costs alot, only 6 hrs listening on full battery

If you are thinking about buying a mini disc player I think you should buy the Sharp Mini Disc 702. I have just recently bought one and I use it all the time. It doesn't cost a lot of money and it is very portable. It costs around 280 dollars, but I...

Pros: has helpful features
Cons: too much trouble to record

This particular portable mini disc player was one of the first released mini disc players early last year. It runs from around $250 - $300. It comes with a little back lit wired remote that i found to be very usefull while i was listening to it in the...

Pros: Portable, Nice Looking, Excellent Sound
Cons: Hard to "title" tracks, headphones that come with the product are cheap.

I bought the Sharp MD-MS702 Player/Recorder from a store on the net called "E-Town". As soon as I pulled it out of the box and charged the lithium battery, it was ready to go. I barely had to read the directions at all, except for naming the...

Pros: Inexpensive. Small. Nice remote.
Cons: Mine broke after 2 years. Batteries wear out too easily. Remote glitches.

I bought my Sharp MD-MS702 player/recorder for $225 in March 1999. It lasted me around 2 years. While my friend was ejecting a disk, the laser broke. The cost to fix the laser would be more than buying a new more recent model.

I bought the...

Pros: Everything
Cons: a bit old

I don’t own, but frequently use a Sharp 701 portable minidisc recorder, and I have to say that although it’s old now, has only 10 seconds antishock, and uses ATRAC 5, I think it is still one of the best minidisc recorders there are, and if you see one...

Pros: good sound quality while it lasted, lit remote, headphones are pretty nice
Cons: broke in 4 months, big, heavy, no belt clip, cheap screws fall out on their own, price, confusing to operate, bad battery life, the list goes on and on...

Well i bought this MD because of both the price and the look. Well looks can be decieving, because this minidisc has been the biggest waste of cash i've ever spent. I bought it back in May of 2000, with the money i got for my birthday (also in May). I...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: old model, heavy, bulky

If you know anything about MD players, you will know that what you need at the start is a sleek easy to sue recorder and or player. The Sharp 702 is a good start for people who do not understand fully on how to use MD recorders.
The design is...

Pros: NONE
Cons: Only worked for 5 months

I had this thing less then 9 months and it already doesn't work. It won't read the TOC from any of my discs. I tried calling to get this repaired and was told that it only has 90 days on parts.
Don't waste your money on this product. I will NOT...

Pros: light, small, well-engineered, front-loading
Cons: single record level meter

This versatile little unit offers many nice features for remote recording activities. It accepts microphone, line or optical inputs and has adjustable record level with metering. Most of the unit's functions are duplicated on a small, backlit, wired...

Pros: Sound quality
Cons: Size, battery life

I bought this item for $200. It is one of the more inexpensive MD player/recorders. The thing is BIG! I mean REALLY bulky. Plus the length of the batteries is on the short side. I will say though that the sound quality is excellent! It is better then any...

Pros: Cheaper while having the necessities
Cons: Lacks some extra features

Ah yes, the Sharp-702 player. This player may not be the best player out there due to the fact that it is more bulky and heavier than the newer models. However, all of the necessities of an Mini Disc Player are found in it.

It...

Pros: long battery life, operates
Cons: no known PC interface, a little fatter than current models

I wish it had a PC interface. Aside from that...Good price. All the bells and whistles. No 'door' to mess with like the Sony. I bought my MS-702 in Dec 98 when shopping for the best all-round MD player. When I asked a salesman to help me compare the...

Pros: High Quality All Around
Cons: Not the best thing for MP3's

I bought my Sharp 702 MD player about a year ago. I have gotton a lot of use out of it. I record MP3's to it and take them in my car. It is easy to operate and is high quality through and through.

The recording and playback feature are...

Pros: all around solidness: looks, quality, and performance
Cons: only trouble is naming songs but it gets much easier after awhile

I have owned this Minidisc portable player/recorder for 1 1/2 years now. I will tell you something, you want to get one of the top performance MD's for your money, get the sharp 702. It is great, it has a flawless sound system, with a superior bass to...

Pros: Easy recording
Cons: Low Durability

Upon first purchasing the sharp minidisc player, I wanted to return it. Well, I did, actually; the recharger didn't work. After receiving a new one, I brought it home and sucessfully tested it out. This one lasted me about 8 months. I had to get...
