I just got the basic MZ-R500. I like it, plays, records in stereo, mono, LP2, or LP4, and they all sound good.
my only bitch is that it goes thru batteries so quickly. it says 48 hours of playback, and 8 of recording.
I get more like 16 of playback, and 2 of recording if I am lucky.
and it's inconsistent too, the battery will say 100%, I'll go to record a set, then it dies 30 minutes in. later I turn it on, and it's fine.
it also skips a bit, like if I am jogging or something.
and the earphones are shit, I just plug my big DJ cans into it. hmm, that's probably what is draining the battery eh? 
anybody else have these problems? would I be better off taking it back and getting a higher model?
