Re: MD: Sony ReliabilityOther MZ-R900 New features
Rodney, That's not really a very good record for Sony! I feel that if you have 10 pieces of electronic equipment costing $200.00 or more you should expect no more then 2 to give you any problems in three years. I have had good luck with Panasonic over all. Much better then Sony (but that's not saying much). Sharp has pretty reliable. Aiwa is not too bad (before you go saying that Sony owns Aiwa, they make totally different products in different plants. I have personally never seen an Aiwa product that is a Sony Clone). Pioneer: Receivers have been good. 6 CD changers so so. Forget their Air Conditioners!! Phillips: mixed. RCA too complex to go in to. Older RCA is a different company than today. (I believe their TV are now made by Thompson). Most, but not all, brands of TVs are fairly reliable compared to other components. Panasonic has been good for me and their picture quality is good to. When it comes to picture quality (not reliability) Sonys are usually very, very good. I'm sure that their ultra high end XBR or (what is that FUX? ) digital flat screen TVs are amazing. I'll bat they are probably close to the stand that others are compared to.

Re: MD: Sony ReliabilityOther MZ-R900 New features
I have had a Sony R30 for about 3 years and it's still going strong, and so is the Sony receiver, Sony tape deck and my Sony portable CD player that I got about the same time. OTPH, I recall a lot of UTOC errors with Sharp MD, and the Sharp ATRAC bug that occurs consistantly when recording a French horn solo. (Might have been another horn) Rodney Peterson wrote: Sony Products I Currently Own: S7000 DVD Player (since 1997, perfect always) WebTV and Sony Keyboard (very reliable other than the fact WebTV as an ISP sucks (I have a real computer now, a Dell laptop) MDS-JA20ES MiniDisc Recorder (serviced once under warranty) Other Past Sony Products: TRV900 Camcorder-no problems MZ-R55 MiniDisc Recorder-junk MZ-1 MiniDisc Recorder-replaced several times by Sony MZ-R2-ditto MZ-R3 (don't remember what happened to it) MZ-E3 (gave it away) ZS-M1 MiniDisc AC Boom Box (piece of junk-replaced with a MDS-JA50ES by Sony) MDS-JA50ES MiniDisc Recorder (sold it) MDS-101 MiniDisc Recorder (sold it) 27 inch XBR2 Color TV (sold it, serviced for color tube problems-no Sony TV's currently-instead I have a Panasonic PT56WXF95 HDTV-very nice and very reliable) Probably other stuff I can't remember right now - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Jim Coon Not just another pretty mandolin picker. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If Gibson made cars, would they sound so sweet?
