sony mz-r90 minidisc recorder

i am the original owner and have used this device as a roller-blading and jogging companion, as well as a handy way to capture digital recordings of music recitals and concerts.

there is some light wear that you would expect with a few years of use; everything works nicely. the only unknown is whether the original ni-mh battery (included) is still good; i have always used a single AA battery for playback and the ac adapter for recordings instead. included in the auction are:

sony mz-r90 minidisc recorder (blue magnesium-alloy case)

sony ac adapter

original ni-mh battery

sony AA battery accessory

sony remote control (accepts 1/8“ stereo headphones)

original headphones

accessory belt case

NOT included:

printed instruction manual (but its available online here: user manual, service manual)

Additional Product Description c/o Amazon

Sony MZR90 is one of the smallest, lightest minidisc players with a long battery life. A pop-up mechanism softly ejects the minidisc, allowing easy insertion and removal. A 40-second shock-resistant memory stops skips from happening when you are listening to music. The laser scans ahead on the disc and stores 40 seconds of music in memory, for continuous playback.The Sony comes with a digital cable to connect to a home digital preamplifier, CD player, DAT, or digital satellite system unit. The sampling-rate converter allows you to record minidiscs that have having
different sampling frequencies, such as digital satellite systems and
DAT. A digital recording-level control allows you to manually maintain
a consistent recording level on your minidisc, no matter what your
source. An automatic gain-control feature also prevents overload
distortion.A digital megabass sound system provides rich, deep
bass tones with digital signal processing for virtually inaudible
harmonic distortion. With digital synchro-recording, you can make
digital copies of CDs onto a minidisc with a synchronized operation
that only records once it receives the digital input signal.You
can use CD Text to record the title and songs onto the MD during
recording. You can also create and modify individual track information
to your own liking with personalized character input. With Sony's Name
Bank, you can store up to 600 characters for easy, fast recall. The
date and time stamp function automatically places a marker on each recording for future reference.The slim, backlit LCD remote provides direct access to the minidisc player's functions. A backlit
display informs you of the song title, disc title, playback status, and
if the battery is on, off, or near depletion. This display is easy to
see even in low light, and it has a stereo minijack for headphones on
the remote.From the optical-in, the sampling frequency is 32
kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48kHz. The frequency response is 20 to 20,000Hz (+/-3dB), and the wow and flutter is unmeasurable. It has a DC-in, a 3-volt microphone-in, plug-in power, and an in for an optical line. The outputs include headphones, which are connected to the remote, and a stereo minijack.The Sony MZR90 comes with an AC adapter, digital connecting cable, NiMH rechargeable battery, AA battery,
carrying case, and a battery protector.The battery life is
approximately 16.5 hours of recording time and 12 hours of playback with Sony's NH-14WM NiMH rechargeable battery; four hours of recording and 16.5 hours of playback with Sony's AA alkaline battery; and 14.5 hours of recording and 29 hours of playback with Sony's NH-14WM NiMH rechargeable battery plus the Sony AA alkaline battery.
