MD: Sharp MD-X60

2000-01-06 Thread David Fincher


Does anybody know anything about the Sharp MD-X5?  I won the bid for one
on Onsale, but it's on backorder.  I've got a chance to cancel the bid
now if there's something dissatisfactory about it?  I can't find a
review on it anywhere to know for sure?  How much is a fair price to pay
for a refurbished one?  I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have.

I've got a Sharp MD-X5H, it's an English model (I live in England). AFAIK
the only difference between this (the H bit) and the X5 you get in the US,
is that it has RDS for the tuner, and allows different language settings for
the keyboard.

I've been pretty happy with it, titling is really easy with the PS/2
keyboard input on the front of the unit.

You get no better than real-time dubbing from CD to MD. It only has digital
inputs, too (coax and optical). I've had the odd minor niggle with it, too.

But all-in-all I think it's a pretty good unit, and I'm glad I got it -
worth the money I spent on it - using a PC keyboard for titling should not
be underestimated for the value it adds.

Cheers

Neil
