Aiwa AM-C80 Personal MiniDisc Player

Pros: So small, so portable. Great for imports and mix discs.
Cons: U.S. doesn't produce a lot on Minidisc.

My need: tunes for the subway. A score for my walks in the city.

My solution: the AIWA AM-C80 Minidisc Recorder/Player.

The dish: I love this thing. First off, it's so small. I can fit it in my jacket pocket. All the discs are...

Pros: Large Transport Buttons, Handy Jog Wheel, Generous Size Main Backlit LCD Display
Cons: Digital Synchro Recording Not Allowed From Non-Aiwa Unit Input, Lithium Ion Battery Optional

Introduction and Concept

The Aiwa AM C-80 MiniDisc player is my first MiniDisc machine purchase. I have helped others set their MiniDisc units up for various purposes which I believe prompted my decision to buy one. As a musician, I hope to...

Pros: Portable, Easy to use, Sturdy
Cons: Hard to find in stores

First of all, let me make a confession: I am a gadget geek.
There, I said it.


Now then. A while ago I decided I needed a gadget fix. I was torn between an mp3 player, a cd burner (which, if I bought one, would also require a...

Pros: Small Unit, light, attractive, Backlit LCD on remote and main unit
Cons: External battery box is rather bulky, battery life isn't the greatest

The Aiwa AM-C80 is a good MD player/recorder overall. It has 40 second E.A.S.S. shock protection (Electronic Anti Shock System), Mono recording, title input while recording, great headphones, an optical digital cable, and an external battery box which...

Pros: lightweight and compact, relatively cheap, excellent sound
Cons: accessories

About a month ago, I picked up one of Aiwa's AM-C80 portable minidisc recorders through JandR.com and I have to say that it is a definite competitor in today's minidisc market. I have not yet been let down by sound quality, craftsmanship, size, or...

Pros: great design, nice looking, small, light, easy to use, lots of features, cheap
Cons: none really... the headphones it comes with arent vey good... but thats it.

The Aiwa AM-C80 is the first minidisc player I have ever owned. However, before I had the C80 I had an MP3 player. I can tell you now that the Rio PMP 300 I had before the AM-C80 is nowhere as good. The AM-C80 allows you to record music from anywhere you...

Pros: World wide radio station receiver.
Cons: Runs through batteries like nothing.

Hi there,
Now before we irritate each other though I don't think there is any reason to do so, this title is written not according to the right category simply because my title and brand does not exist in epinions. I have even emailed them and that...

Pros: User-friendly editing functions, lighted display on deck as well as remote.
Cons: Rechargeable battery is optional, large external battery box

I wish the AM-C80 had been available back when I got my Sharp 702. Having had one a couple of weeks now, I've found it to be a more capable and user-friendly editing recorder.I do a lot of recording from radio and need to edit out commercials and...
