Getting Started

Using with Batteries

Notes

•When you are not going to use your Walkman for a long time,

the old batteries with new ones.

You can connect the following external power sources
through the DC IN 3 V jack located on the bottom.
(When you plug a cord into the DC IN 3 V jack, the
internal batteries are automatically bypassed.)

Featuring

AVLS (Automatic Volume Limiter System)

The AVLS selector allows you to limit the maximum volume of
your Walkman personal stereo without degrading the sound
quality.
•When the AVLS selector is set to either position 1 or 2 (around

95 dB, 85 dB respectively), the volume will be kept at a
moderate level without the degradation of the sound quality,
even if you attempt to turn the volume up higher.

•When the AVLS selector is set to either position 1 or 2, the

playback sound may be distorted or unstable according to the
music (especially bass boosted part). If this happens, turn
down the volume.

•When the AVLS selector is turned off, you will be able to enjoy

the full volume capability of your Walkman personal stereo.
