Sony Walkman MDS-JB920 Personal MiniDisc Player

Pros: sound, comfort, looks, reliability
Cons: stalls when interfacing to complicated functions

Although Sony deserves praise for many of their high quality products, ranging from TV's to stereos to CD players, I must find fault with this particular device. My qualms with this machine are opposed to the rave reviews that many of my fellow...

Pros: convenience, price, features, appearance
Cons: prone to need repairs

Hello there, everyone. I purchased the Sony MDS-JB920 about 3 months ago after reviewing some of the benefits of minidiscs on the internet. For a long time, I haven't been very satisfied with the sound of cassettes after going digital with CD over a...

Pros: Great sound
Cons: None

What I love about it the most is, the CD part is protected from scratches in it's own little case, unlike a regular CD.
Next; the compact size, and the ease of recording. Just like recording a cassette, couldn't be simpler!I purchased the Sony...

Pros: You can't scratch the recording/playback surface, like a CD.
Cons: The cost of blank MiniDisc's.

Greetings, I now own 2 MDS-JB920's! I have used one for over a year now. It sits on my desk solo, connected to a pair of computer speakers and I use it everyday. My second deck for about 3 months, it's connected to my home theater system.

Pros: intuitive, easy to use, fast, reliable, full of functions
Cons: Well, no point owning more than one... I wish...

Well what can I say.

You have the pleasure of a cd, the free use of a tape, and the pleasure of titling that nothing else can give you.

The remote controle makes it fast to enten any title.

The player is quick to respond,...

Pros: Compilations of CD's. compact size
Cons: Cost of minidiscs

I am a huge music, and music accessory person, and this is one of my best purchases. You can have mixes of all your favorite songs and have the compact quality of a tape with the sound quality of a CD. This product is extremely user- friendly and has...

Pros: Open, airy sound, unlimited versatility
Cons: Market life unsure due to competing formats

The beauty of minidisc (MD)is that it is a digital recordable format. CD-R offers recordable CDs, CD-RW offers re-recordable CDs, but for outright convenience, they cannot touch MD.
As well as being more compact, it is the editing facilities on MD...

Pros: Sound Quality, Digital Ins/Outs/record level, Time/Date Stamp
Cons: Occasionally irritable loading mechanism

I bought the JB-920 solely for interfacing with a computer. I edit audio on a computer for radio stations and schools in the area. I can hook up the 920 to a computer using a PCLK link kit. Just plug one end into a serial port (mouse port) other into...

Pros: SOUND
Cons: NADA

I 've had this for about a year now. Works great. You can mix your own music real easy with it, I actually made money doing it. Includes the remote, manual, original box, and optical cable that was supplied with this unit. This link goes to Sony's page,...

Pros: You can't scratch the recording surface like a cd
Cons: The cost of blank MiniDisc's is really high.

over 6 months now. It sits on my desk , connected to a
pair of computer speakers and I use it everyday. My

Being in sales, I have a huge audio library of motivational,

Pros: mono/stereo recording, recording quality, special features
Cons: nothing

I currently own this awesome Minidisc recorder/player rack system unit. I have had this techie toy for a year now and I am still impressed. This unit has superior recording quality and the option to record 74 minutes stereo or 149 minutes mono. It...

Pros: The MDS-JB920 mini-disc player is a good buy
Cons: I believe that in the future mini-disc players will be out of the market,

It seems to me that sony has their act together in developing high quality electronics equipment. I do think that they have good quality in their equipment and when something does malfunction, they are able to fix it or replace it very quickly. The...

Pros: Great sound, good interface, stylish
Cons: Mini disc cost, lack of music for it.

Ok, dont get me wrong I love my music, but in todays society we are getting further ahead with new advancements which saw the invention of the mp3 player, dvd/cd burners which make the music lovers life heaven but with the invention of minidisc's i just...

Pros: ease of use
Cons: cost of disk

I bought this minidisc player for 500 dollars and was only semi impressed. I should have just bought a home mp3 player. Although the disks can not be scratched because they are housed in thier own little case, the cost of them is outrageous. This...

Pros: Works efectivly
Cons: nothing more to offer

There is no doubt in my mind that this is a quality product that works just as good as the next. Yet , it runs 200$ more !!!!! Until the minidisc technology takes off the ground, to higher dubbing speeds, why spend 200 $ more on something that has almost...
