====== Sony MZ-R37 ======

{{page>equipment:infobox_template}}

Effectively similar to the [[:equipment:sony:portable:mz-r35|MZ-R35]] in form factor but with the encoder and laser from the [[:equipment:sony:portable:mz-r55|MZ-R55]]. Considered a "cost reduced" version. Has no mic sensitivity, no erase button (though the option is in the edit menu), no time/date stamp, and the remote has no LCD (though the [[:equipment:sony:portable:mz-r55|MZ-R55]] remote (and other LCD remotes) work with it).

**Variants:**

**MZ-R37SP** Originally thought to mean "self powered" (possibly as a nod to the R37's status as the cost-reduced MD recorder contemporary to the R55) and include no power adapter, this version appears to include different headphones, several are seen on auction sites with a power adapter and a box big enough to fit the power adapter.

**MZ-R37PCIF** version is the same base MZ-R37 unit bundled with a USB to analog line-out interface adapter (Xitel MD-PORT AN1), allowing easy recording from a PC. Note that this is **NOT** NetMD.

**MZ-R37SPPC** version is the same base MZ-R37 with the USB to analog line interface adapter. Seen on eBay in a blister pack/hanging package.

**MZ-R37SPPCT** version is the same base MZ-R37 unit with the USB to analog line interface adapter. Seen on eBay with a Wal-Mart or Best Buy price sticker, $194.47 this may have been a SKU to avoid price matching or may have some other difference from both the SP and PCIF versions.

-----

Runs on two standard alkaline AAs, no sidecar. Will work with NiMH rechargeables (Eneloops). **Does not** like Lithium AAs
