Screen and key layouts are great. Easy to use and the base is very good

It breaks easily. With normal use (didnt drop it or anything), the thing just wont record anymore. TOC error or something, then it cant read some of my previously record MDs. There''s no decent service center here in the Philippines that can do the repair...they just say, we havent have the parts or havent experienced reapiring an MD recorder...and they call themselves repair center!

The sound quality, the size and overall look and use is good, but if its easily broken...well....and to top it, no service center to do the repair

When it works, it works well.

Constant trips to the repair departments for UTOC error. Enough parts have been replaced to buy (2) of these units.
A HUGE waste of time when recording with this unit when it won't/can't write to T.O.C. after the recording.

The sound quality and features of this unit make it a good value. The price of replacement batteries from Kenwood is extreme. Too bad this companies philosophy is to stick-it-to consumers on after sale items. To me, this says a lot about Kenwood (and others doing the same).

I wouldn't buy another Kenwood product as support offered to refund or replace this product has been poor. It must be a common concern with this unit as similar reviews to mine show up from time to time with the same complaint about this unit.

This unit is now a PLAYER only.

We have since bought a portable Sony minidisc recorder which works like the Kenwood should.

Anyone from Kenwood reading this?


2 out of 5 stars.

This thing is very ugly But has good performances the price $400 is a bit expensive
But i paid Fl 500 that is +/- $250
fore that price you have a good Portabel MD Player

It is very easy to record from any source. Plus, the controls are very clear and easy to use.

I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for great recording capabilities.
