Im a happy owner of an aiwa f70, and hope not to experience said problem. I
was pointed to this unit by a friend who is quite happy with his unit, and
im happy wiht mine. I havent heard of a disc erasure problem, though I've
only had my unit for a few months, I use it on a day in day out basis.

I think the system on Aiwa portables is the most intuitive of all: on the
f70, if you slide and hold the record switch fow a few seconds, it'll go
into record-pause. Then you could set your levels and everything. If you
slide and release, it'll start recording immediately. Pretty smart, eh?
