Signal-actuated recording from the microphone, the analog line, or the digital line input makes it easy to synchronize the Sharp with your recording source; it simply starts recording when it hears something. Another neat trick up the MD-MT877's sleeve is that it can begin a new track every 3, 5, or 10 minutes.
Sharp's MD-MT877 is an elegant looking, easy-to-use, good performer. But what distinguishes it from lower-priced Sharp MiniDisc recorders we've reviewed is its ability to pack a lot more music onto each disc. Whether that's worth the $500 list price is up to you. Sony's MDLP-compatible MZ-R700DPC carries a $300 list price and includes a nifty USB gadget for recording music directly from your PC.
