Walkman with a hold dial.

By turning the hold dial provided on the body, various buttons are locked and malfunction is prevented.

Equipped with the Automatic Music Sensor (AMS), you can find the beginning and end of one song by simply pressing the FF/REW button during Play. This function can be operated from either the remote control or the console.

Uses a sound swing guard mechanism (anti-rolling mechanism).
This mechanism was designed by analyzing the dynamic characteristics of vibration from the viewpoint of the moment of inertia of the flywheel and the stability of the motor. It maintains a stable rotating state even when subjected to vibration while walking, and reduces sound vibration.

Equipped with a newly developed comfortable volume switch (A. V. L. S) as a limiter function.
This function constantly monitors the state of the music signal during playback and controls the volume emitted from the headphones so that it does not exceed the point of sound leakage.

It is equipped with the A side / B side notification function, and you can check whether the A side or B side of the tape is being reproduced and how the tape is running with the LED on the body.

0.8 mm body plate has been adopted.

An EX amorphous head is used for the head part.
This head uses amorphous material and an EX mechanism with a special tape guide that keeps the angle between the head and the tape constant.

A la carte headphone system is used for the remote control part, and the newly developed ultra-small micro plug is used for the remote control part so that the headphone can be replaced. The plug / jack part is gold-plated.

Equipped with an auto tape selector.

Equipped with an EXD. B. B. (Dynamic Bass Boost) circuit, you can enhance 50 Hz bass by up to 16 times.
In D. B. B., the emphasis is automatically adjusted according to the position of the volume knob at that time. In addition, in EX D. B. B., the amplification amount is linearly changed according to the volume change of the original sound to prevent the sensitivity of the weak sound from being lost.

Equipped with a Dolby B type noise reduction system.

In addition to black, there are red, blue and yellow as color variations.
