Price Paid:  $75.00 from allegro.pl

Summary:
I've bought his one and wasn't sutisfied. All front and buttons made from plastic. He didn't write UTOC. He broke my MD. Didn't want to receord frequently. Sometimes problems with playback. Made in Malysia.

Strengths:
Big and clear screen. Many in and outs.

Weaknesses:
UTOC problems. Plastic panel.

Price Paid:  $180.00 from minidisco

Summary:
I have 3 of these that I have used for several years and I have never experienced a UTOC error. (I did experience UTOC errors with Sharp portable units.) Sound quality is good but model was discontinued a few years ago and does not have more recent innovations such as MDLP.

Strengths:
Flexible I/O (coax & digital inputs), integrated timer, can move blocks of tracks simultaneously, includes mono mode

Weaknesses:
Editing seems more cumbersome than on Sony units, no MDLP

Similar Products Used:
Sony JB930, other Sony, JVC & Sharp decks and portable units. Have used minidisc format extensively for several years.

Summary:
As you could read in many places on the net, sharp & kenwood equipment have a factory defect call UTOC ERROR that turns your deck into paperweight. It´s a question of chance whether you get it or not, or if you get it rather sooner than later, but it´s quite obvious these equipment are due for a recall. You go to sharp website, they say nothing. On the other hand I have a portable MT-821 and haven´t got that problem (yet). I don´t know, but with so many users complaining out there, and with mine that went burning in the last midsummer´s day pyre, I would stay hands off this piece of eclectic UTOC ERROR md destroyer junk. Those guys at Sharp must have been drunk and joking when they designed it.

Strengths:
opt & coax digital in

Weaknesses:
UTOC ERROR !
