When I got this thing out of the box, I was disappointed to see it looked nothing like the picture on Amazon.com. But when I turned it on and heard the crisp clear sound from radio, CD, and MD, I learned this was nothing like I thought it would be. Recording MiniDiscs is a piece of cake. It took me five minutes to read through the manual about recording them, I was off to making my first mix MiniDisc! Erasing, combining, titling, dividing, and changing the order of tracks is as easy as pushing a button. Just like that!

The MiniDisc is a big advancement in digital audio. It's ultra compact size is made possible by ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding). The ATRAC system automatically extracts only the frequencies that are actually audible to the human ear and cuts the frequencies which are inaudible. This compresses the amount of data to be recorded to 1/5 of the normal amount.

Now I know that the Aiwa CSD-MD5--with radio, CD player, and MD player/recorder--is the best stereo I've ever had.

Weighing in at 13 pounds, this is not as "portable" as you might hope, but its great for the work place, and the MiniDisc features make you very popular with freinds and co-workers alike. It sounds great, especially considering its size.

This is one of the coolest things Ive ever bought. Its opened the door to me to create music any way I like too. The mini disc player is really cool. Its a very powerful system for its size. Excellent bass too. I also like the front loading CD player, a very conveinient feature. It has all the neccesary controls to edit the music you create so you dont have to purchase any other accesorys {accept for the mini discs}. I love the display on the front its very crisp looking and gives it an ellegant style all to its self. I really wish I could have found this product sooner , its been so much help to me. My friends think its awesome too. Its very portable accept you need an outlet wherever you go. Aiwa has always had a good line of products.

This is a high quality sound system thwat everyone can enjoy! I bought it so that I could enjoy the excellent sound of the mini discs, but ended up also enjoying the easy tuning of the radio, no skip playing of the CD's, and the awesome bass levels! This is a great machine for anyone who wants to enjoy good music!

This "rig" is awesome. I've been following the reviews here; never been able to locate this machine in a store to see it or test it. Aiwa's site had a different picture than the one on Amazon, so when the last review came in and I noticed Amazon took the photo down, I went ahead and ordered one. Typical Amazon service: 2 days and it was in my house! This is a truly dynamite music "machine". I've been using MiniDisc for a couple of years now. This really simplifies recording and editing. And the radio tuner is great. Super sound.

these is one CD player you might want to get the good part is it is that it is anti skip the bad part is that it is vary expensive. its great for traval and it has a hard exoscolten body that is hard to break. Who would want to use it- Travalers, joggers, and sports men why would some one use it- It is a very high Good part - anti skip protected bad part - very exspensive
