Compact and durable NetMD recorder, with its only significant downside being a reliance on gumsticks for internal power, not AA batteries. Works perfectly in both Web MiniDisc and SonicStage. Identical to the MZ-NF810, with the exception of lacking a TV tuner.
A very solid choice for a starter device, if you can manage to find one for the right price.
Can be powered directly via the DC input on the device or the included charging stand. The battery is not required when the charger is used. The included charger is the AC-ES305 3V, centre positive. The 2.35x0.7mm AC-MZR55 Charger also fits. A Mini-USB Type-B connection on the main body, is located behind a rubber grommet.

European Import Note
If you are looking at purchasing an MZ-N710 or MZ-NF810, be aware that the European model has an unusually low headphone amp volume. The European model features a 1.2mW+1.2mW amplifier, compared to 2.0+2.0 in the European model of the N10, or 5mW+5mW in most North American and Japanese models.
