I bought an MZ-R1 when they were first released and used it for 2 months before sending it back to Sony with a log of problems. It would frequently lock-up and often 'lost' the last recording. Battery life was just 1 hr. It was a large machine too, very heavy compared with modern versions. I got a full refund and I bought a portable DAT instead. In fact I didn't get back to Minidisc machines for another 5 years and they've improved immensely since that first machine. In my view, get the best modern model you can afford, pass on the MZ-R1.
