You say that the Sharp 722 has no editing functions? Is it a joke? You have a button called EDIT or something like that. You access to DISC NAME, TRACK NAME, COMBINE, DIVIDE, TRACK ERASE, ALL ERASE functions. Moreover, on my Sharp 722, when I press

You didn't read very closely...what was said was that the 722 *remote* didn't have many editing features. Whether or not that's true is beyond me, as I only have the MT15. On Tue, 15 Aug 2000, jeanmougin wrote: You say that the Sharp 722 has no

For the most part I love my 722, though it is somewhat fragile, physically. Esp the eject lever and mechanism. I've had it since Dec and never see a UOTC error. The irony here is that most people consider the Sharp 700-series to be among the sturdiest, least fragile designs out there,

I got a MS722 for $133 from www.mercata.com (after a 20% discount for signing up). It wouldn't record and generated UTOC errors right out of the box. They sent me a new one and I sent the old one back. The new one works fine and for $133 was quite a deal. Seth
