Notes on playing cassettes
• Do not use cassettes longer than 90 minutes except for long

continuous playback.

• If the tape is playing but no sound comes out, the batteries

may be weak. Replace all dry batteries with new ones or
recharge all rechargeable batteries.

• If your Walkman has not been used for a long time, run the

Walkman for a few minutes before inserting a cassette.

• Do not wind the headphones cord around the Walkman.

The buttons may be kept pressed, causing unnecessary battery
usage.

degradation of the sound quality, even if you attempt to turn
the volume up higher.

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