Matthias, avoid this deck at all cost!! When it's working OK it's a very
good deck, but most (if not all?) 510s ultimately seem to develop the
dreaded 'self turn-on bug' where the unit turns on by itself. This is
apparently caused by a faulty microswitch design. It can get worse and
eventually lead to grinding gears and discs not being ejected. Some 510s
also get the 'protected bug' which prevents you from recording on perfectly
good discs.
My advice is to get the 520, since it doesn't have the problems mentioned
above AFAIK. It's also got a more advanced ATRAC (version 4.5) and digital
recording level control.
Regards,
John.
