• Do not drop the unit or give a

shock to the unit, or it may cause a
malfunction.

• Do not leave the unit in a location

near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or sand, moisture,
rain, mechanical shock, or in a car
with its windows closed.

• The LCD display may become

hard to see or slow down when
using the unit at high
temperatures (above 40°C/104°F)
or at low temperatures (below
0°C/32°F). At room temperature,
the display will return to its
normal operating condition.

• If the unit has not been used for

long, set it in the playback mode
and warm it up for a few minutes
before inserting a tape.

We do not recommend the use of
tapes longer than 90 minutes except
for a long continuous playback.
They are very thin and tend to be
stretched easily.

Use the supplied remote control
only with this unit.

Road safety
Do not use headphones/earphones
while driving, cycling, or operating
any motorized vehicle. It may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal
in some areas. It can also be
potentially dangerous to play your
headphones/earphones at high
volume while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings.
You should exercise extreme
caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.

Preventing hearing damage
Do not use headphones/earphones
at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud and
extended play. If you experience a
ringing in your ears, reduce volume
or discontinue use.

Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate
level. This will allow you to hear
outside sounds and to be
considerate to the people around
you.

Use the cleaning cassette CHK-1W
(not supplied) every 10 hours of use.

Note
• Use only the recommended cleaning

cassette.

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened
with water. Do not use alcohol,
benzine or thinner.

Note
• Clean the headphones/earphones

plug periodically.

To lock the controls
(see Fig. G-a)

Set the HOLD switch to the
direction of the arrow to lock the
controls.

To emphasize bass sound
(see Fig. G-b)

Press MENU repeatedly to set the
cursor to SOUND in the display.
Then, press SET to select the
desired mode. With each press, the
indications change as follows.
MB (MEGA BASS) : emphasizes

bass sound

GRV (GROOVE) : emphasizes

deeper bass sound

No message: off (normal)

Notes
• If the sound is distorted with the

mode “GRV”, select the mode “MB”
or no message.

• Bass emphasis may not show great

effect if the volume is turned up too
high.

To protect your hearing—
AVLS (Automatic Volume
Limiter System) function
(see Fig. G-b)

When you set the AVLS function to
active, the maximum volume is
kept down to protect your ears.

Press MENU repeatedly to set the
cursor to AVLS in the display. Then
press SET to show “

”.

Notes
• If the sound is distorted when you

listen to the bass-boosted sound
with the AVLS function, turn down
the volume.

• The AVLS setting may be canceled

when you replace the batteries.

z

• Do not charge a dry battery.
• Do not carry the dry or

rechargeable batteries with coins
or other metallic objects. It can
generate heat if the positive and
negative terminals of the batteries
are accidentally contacted by a
metallic object.

• When you do not use the

Walkman for a long time, remove
the battery to avoid any damage
caused by battery leakage and
subsequent corrosion.
