The Panasonic SJMR-200 minidisc player boasts a sleek design, is super lightweight and is extremely user friendly. I bought this product about 3 weeks ago, and was told it was both the smallest and lightest minidisc on the market- and upon purchasing this I could see why. It’s dimensions are 78.2 (W) x 71.6 (H) x (16.8 (D) mm. It is almost weightless in your pocket, and is very durable (I dropped it twice and it remans undamaged!).It is tiny, and hosts many great features other minidiscs do not even come close to matching.
It has a great navigation pad, with feathertouch technology (no pressure needed to carry out functions). The minidisc both records and plays with crystal clear quality, and offers noise reduction technology and a very long anti-shock (40 seconds). Also, you can record with a fibre optic cable or the supplied stereo cable. The fibre optic cables cost about £15 and are a good investment if your stereo supports it. It looks brilliant, and all aspects of this product surpass any of Sony’s minidiscs I have seen. The remote control included is very neat, with lots of useful features and is a great ’see through’ design. One disadvantage is that the main screen does not have a backlight, so you can’t see it at night unless you use the remote! Included with the minidisc are a carry case, rechargable battery, AA battery holder, charger, remote control and headphones. The headphones do the job well, and playback of the minidisc is excellent lasting for about 50 hours! It charges rather slowly, but if done overnight it is unnoticeable.
