Sony MZ-RH1

excellent hi hd minidisc recorder. the Sony MZ-RH1 is cool looking, more versatile than any other md portable. if you can look outside the isheep box, what you have here is a beautifully made, versatile, solidly made,durable portable with oodles of class and exceptional sound quality that surpasses any mp3 player.

Excellent performance you can use the mains with using the battery. Excellent recording from sonic stage.

Overall its very good player and I do recommend if your travelling by train and the design is good as well... well recommend Sony MZ-RH1.

Looks are sleek. Especially connected to travel speakers (SRS-T55) as a room sound system. This unit can fill a room with sound easily and clearly. The batterylife is a little short but recording with the unit plugged in removes the hassle. For recording anything this unit is supreme. I use it to record the birds in my backyard and the sounds generated have me looking over my shoulder. The recording quality is brilliant. Sony have brought out some duds in the past, they have not with this unit. The Soncstage software is easy to use. Cutting a disc of your recordings is easy. Buy this as an alternative to MP3. The sound quality is beyond anything else on the market. Well recommend Sony MZ-RH1.

Sony MZ-RH1 Review - Ok as for someone who has been recording in the field for 3 decades now this is one of the smallest recorders with a reasonable sound quality,endless memory "thanks to the MD discs"and LPCM encoding, easy to transfer the files to the computer, using the supplied Sonicstage software,and it works with Vista on my Viao..it makes for a great starter kit for separate sound recording for video or even a podcast unit, asside from the typical uses as a portable mp3 player holding loads of tracks on a single 1gig disc.yes i know there are many other up and coming sound recorders now on the market but this has more than 1 use and not bad for the money. I'm sorry to say this im not a great Sony fan but on the odd occasion they come up with a useful item.
