Sony MZ-N505 Blue NetMD MiniDisc - Serviced & Feature-Unlocked

Sony MZ-N505 Blue NetMD MiniDisc recorder in very good condition for its age.

Fully serviced and tested. Disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, motors oiled and moving parts lubricated. Playback and recording tested and working perfectly.

This N505 has also had the documented EEPROM feature modification carried out, unlocking additional functions normally disabled by Sony. The modification has been tested and is working. Some unlocked functions require a higher-end Sony remote to operate, so not all are accessible with the supplied RM-MZ4R.

Key features:
• NetMD USB computer-to-MiniDisc transfer
• MDLP: SP, LP2 and LP4
• Sony Type-R
• Optical digital / analogue line input
• Mega Bass
• G-Protection
• Standard AA battery
• Very compact and lightweight

NetMD is still very usable today with modern projects such as Web MiniDisc Pro and Electron/DeskMD, allowing music to be transferred from modern computers without relying on Sony’s original obsolete software.

A great little daily-driver MiniDisc machine: small, practical, MDLP capable and easy to load from a computer.

Included:
• Original Sony RM-MZ4R remote
• Original German user manual

English instructions are available online.

Very good cosmetic condition with normal signs of age and use. Please see photos for actual condition.

Fully serviced, feature-unlocked, tested and ready to use.

Collection preferred.
