失衡的亮點

Sony指出，日本國內的隨身MD市場從'96年秋天開始邁入普及期，'97年的銷量達到153萬台(EIAJ數據），預計在'98年將增加五成達到約230萬台(Sony預測）。

MZ-E33以"奇型異狀"的屋頂造型的縱向規劃有著獨特機能性。訴求"Compatible Design"機身，兼容電池機身可收納AA / AA充電池 / 充電片並無需累贅外接電池盒的，而兩面刃地也讓機身較為厚實些。

新經典的Stick Controller，以轉動、下壓即可高效直覺地執行Play、Stop等基本操作，為了速配年輕族群的衣著配件的穿搭，E33也著獨家的乳白半透專屬色系，不過也由於入門定位之故背光照明缺席~

機背以獨特具科技感的變型三角按鍵也是官方號稱的Reversible Design造型語言，却非常Sony Style地與機面設計不太搭嘎~

不甚優秀但中規中矩的8小時的充電池續航。遺憾地防震記憶僅為後段班的10秒鐘。

The Imbalanced Highlight

Sony pointed out that Japan's portable MD market began entering a popularization phase in the fall of '96, with sales reaching 1.53 million units in '97 (EIAJ data). Sales are expected to increase by 50% in '98, reaching approximately 2.3 million units (Sony forecast).

The uniquely functional "unusual roof-shaped" vertical design allows compatibility with AA batteries, AA rechargeable batteries, and charging plates without the need for an external battery pack. However, this compatibility also results in a more elongated body, extending its length to 92mm.

The included Stick Controller, in a pure white color with a semi-matte translucent texture, offers intuitive operation. By rotating and pressing down, basic functions like Play and Stop can be efficiently controlled. However, possibly due to its entry-level positioning, backlighting is absent.

The back of the device features a futuristic, modified triangular button design, which feels quite "Sony Style," yet oddly mismatched with the front panel design.

The anti-shock memory is limited to a modest 10 secs.
