====== Sony LAM-Z05 ======

{{page>equipment:infobox_deck}}

Offered in Silver, White and Black

Sony CD/MD combo PC speaker bookshelf system. Works as PC speakers over USB, and will also work as a netMD recorder after switching modes. Will work as USB PC speakers and with [[guides:sonicstagew10|Sonicstage on Windows 10]].

Can write discs through netMD using Sony's SonicStage or OpenMG software.  Device playback can be controlled using these programs. Can also record to MD from a CD directly at 4x speed.

Recently, support has been added for all LAM Series decks to [[guides:webminidisc|web minidisc]]. This device has been tested and works completely without issue.  You can also use[[guides:platinum-md|Platinum-MD]] v 1.2.0 or later to write discs (though it is quite buggy). 

**Notes for Modern Day Buyers:**
  * Nearly all LAM-Z05 have issues with all speaker wire jackets crumbling. The speakers can be difficult to get into, so it isn't necessarily an easy fix. You can just splice a new wire onto whats left of the old, however.
  * The speaker connector is a proprietary Sony miniDIN connector, no way to hook up standard speakers without a handmade adapter. There is a headphone output though.
  * The device has NO AUDIO INPUTS. Only way to write MiniDiscs is through netMD or a direct transfer from CD.
