Well in slight defense of the 702, I've had mine for 21 months. I bought
it in Japan through Nic Boyde and have had GREAT success with it. A close
friend bought a 702 in the United States of America via Minidiscnow and
AFTER he finally received the machine, has had great success. I've
personally recommended the 702 to two(2) other friends and both of those
have had great success.
I don't like to generalize the reported UTOC error as something which
occurs on every unit. It clearly is not a problem on all units.

That only seems to appear when recording a certain note frequency
combination on a solo french horn. I attend and archive classical brass
concerts on a regular basis, and have yet to hear this artifact even when
a solo french horn is performing.
Again the problem that happens in very specific recording situations and
those are very, VERY rare.

For my need to have a method of real time recording level changes and the
Sharps ability to copy the names from one MD to another, for my needs the
Sharp is a superior machine. Also the Sharps headphone/amp output is
higher than my Sony MZ-E40 player. This is needed when I patch into a
mixer at a radio station I volunteer at. The Sony MZ-E40 isn't a good
fit.
I'm trying to level the playing field a bit. Sharp 702 units are not
garbage. The technology still amazes me and friends when I show off the
unit.
