Price Paid:  $100.00

Summary:
i love it and for only 100$,(for me) a great find! I have really never like sony buti have never owned a sony product. then i got the md-je520 has turned around my point of view on sony.

Strengths:
multi optical inputs and output and the ease of use

Weaknesses:
the remote is way too big! (a little nit picking for you)but nothing else

Summary:
The JE520 MD recorder is also great for monitoring from digital sources. Sounds superb and has great equalization
from the analogue outputs.

Strengths:
20Bit A/D Converter and 1Bit D/A Converter

Weaknesses:
None

Summary:
I use the Sony MDS-JE520 in my recording studio and it works great for reference dubb. My next move is to get Sony's MDS-JE630.

Strengths:
Very easy to use, excellent sound when recording from digital and analog inputs.

Weaknesses:
none

Summary:
This md player is gorgeous. It sounds seperb and have had no problems what so ever. Easy menus to edit md's and not also has 2 optical imputes and one analog. Analog sounds just as good. I though I could record right off the dvd but I guess there are too many different chanels.. But since I could still record in a stereo format off dvd's I love using some of the Movie Intros to make intros on my MD mixes. My favorite intro is the big THX intro. Give it a try and have Fun.. oh yeah and go bye this baby.

Strengths:
Great sounds... good built in eq for recording.

Summary:
I really like this MD-player. The F.FWD./Rewind function is reasonable, and the menu is easy to use and not very hard to understand. There's one thing I miss, though. That is the ability to put in (and save) a fading on earlier recordings. But as far as I know, no other MiniDisc players have this function. Therefore I'm very pleased with this one, and I have nothing to complain about.
