The last portable MiniDisc recorder produced by Sony.
When originally released, it was the only device capable of transferring recordings made on standard MiniDiscs back to a computer, however, this functionality is now available to all USB-equipped HiMD portables as well as a number of NetMD portables thanks to the WebMiniDisc project. A list of the NetMD portables which support this feature can be found Here
There is no functional difference between the MZ-RH1 and MZ-M200. The only difference between the two devices, other than branding, is that the M200 was specifically marketed as a field recorder and sold in a bundle with the Sony ECM-DS70P stereo microphone.
Notes for Modern Day Buyers:
