Other models of the same series:
- Sony MDS-JE 330 (some comfort functions are missing, without headphone output and digital output)
Previous model (similar in construction, same dimensions): Sony MDS-JE 520 (without system bus, other remote control, other ATRAC )
Successor model: none in the JE 500 series. MDS-JE 640
analog recording level can only be adjusted via multi-button and Jog Dial
The RM-D29M remote control cannot be used for older Sony MD decks when naming/renaming the tracks, conversely, older remote controls cannot be used for this on the JE 530.
