I need to know what the front of Sony's MZ-N707 MiniDisc player is
made from. Can anyone give a definite answer? I think I know the
answer, but I need some authoratitive evidence.

P.S. In the title, it should say MZ-N707, not MZ-N70.

The front of the Sony MZ-N707 is aluminum.

In the alt.audio.minidisc newsgroup, I found this post:

"The MZ-N707 is half aluminium but the bottom side is plastic..."

That the front of the MZ-N707 is aluminum is confirmed by these retailers:

Aluminium Main Body with a plastic back panel
"Sony MZN707 Net MD Minidisc Walkman (Silver)...
 
 Aluminium Main Body with a plastic back panel"

Electronics Online UK

"The MZN707 minidisc recorder... 
 Aluminium Main Body with a plastic back panel"

AV-Land
http://avland.co.uk/sony/mzn707/

Finally, the best reference source of all -- one of Sony's own sites:

"MZ-N707...

 Aluminium Upper Lid"

(Note that the British spelling of "aluminum" is "aluminium.")

Google search strategy:

Google Web Search: "mz-n707" + "sony" + "aluminum OR aluminium"
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=mz-n707+sony+aluminum+OR+aluminium

I hope this helps! If anything is unclear, or if a link doesn't work
for you, please request clarification; I'll be glad to offer further
assistance before you rate my answer.
