Notes on recording
• The recording level is fixed.
• Actual recording will start about 2 seconds after you

press z REC. Press z REC about 2 seconds before the
moment you want to start recording, or you will miss
the beginning of your recording.

• Do not use a high-position (TYPE II)  or metal (TYPE

IV) tape. If you do, the sound may be distorted when
you play back the tape, or the previous recording may
not be erased completely.

• Do not connect or disconnect the headphones/

earphones to/from the i jack while recording from
the radio. The recording condition may change
abruptly, or noise may be recorded.

• When recording with the microphone, do not place it

near a lamp cord or a fluorescent lamp as this may
cause interference noise.

• No other operation can be done while recording. For

other operations, stop recording first.

To prevent a tape from being accidentally
recorded over
Break off the tabs from side A and/or B. To reuse the
tape for recording, cover the tab hole with adhesive
tape.

To record with an external microphone
Connect an external microphone to the MIC (PLUG
IN POWER) jack.

Use a microphone such as the ECM-DS70P (not
supplied).
When using a plug-in-power system microphone,
the power to the microphone is supplied from this
unit.

To record from another equipment
Connect another equipment to the MIC (PLUG IN
POWER) jack using such as the RK-G134 connecting
cord (not supplied).

Set AVLS to LIMIT. The maximum volume is kept
down to protect your ears even if you turn the
volume up.
To cancel the AVLS function, set AVLS to NORM.

Set SOUND BOOST to ON to obtain the Sound Boost
effect which emphasizes both treble and bass.

Note
When you set AVLS to LIMIT, the SOUND BOOST
effect is reduced.

• Do not carry dry 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 are not going to use your Walkman for a long time,

remove the batteries to prevent damage from battery leakage
and corrosion.

• Do not put any heavy object on top of the unit. The unit may be

damaged.

• 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.

• We do not recommend the use of tape longer than 90 minutes.

They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily. This may
cause malfunction of the unit or sound deterioration.

• If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in the

playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before you
start using it again.

• Keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-

wound watches, etc., away from the unit to prevent possible
damage from the magnet used in the speaker.

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.

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 the volume or
discontinue use.

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

• Clean the tape head and tape path using a cotton swab and

commercially available cleaning solvent after every 10 hours of
use.

• To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth slightly moistened in

water. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner.

• Clean the headphones/earphones plugs periodically.
