Just bought one of these suckers for $ 225. Good points: More solid construction than MZ-R55 (My MZ-R55 routinely rejects discs as unplayable (about 20% of the time), spinning round repeatedly and annoyingly until TOC Error appears in the display. Reinserting the disc solves the problem, but still! what a PAIN IN THE ASS!! More attractive than R55 (close call and a matter of opinion including a more stylish remote) Much longer battery life-almost no need ever for the AA battery pack AND a Lithium Ion battery to boot as opposed to NiMh. Cooler display both on unit and remote. A disc that was stopped on track 8 was ejected, reinserted and still track 8 appeared as the disc starting point, not track 1 as you would rightly expect. Bad points: No dedicated line out (headphone only) and lower power output than dedicated line out. No clock and no time/date stamp 64 character input per track only. Still, a great unit. I may buy one of the newer Sharps just for the output and the Moji stamp feature. (They still have that feature, don't they?) Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
