2Make sure the HOLD function
of the remote control is turned
off.
If it is on, slide the HOLD
switch on the remote control to
turn it off (see Fig. C-B).
3Press Y(play)•x(stop) and
adjust the volume with VOL on
the remote control (see Fig. C-
B).
Notes on volume control
• The VOLUME switch on the main
unit has three steps; AVLS MIN,
NORM, and MAX.
Generally, set it to NORM and make
fine volume adjustments on the
remote control. Set it to MAX when
the recording level is low. Set it to
AVLS MIN to activate AVLS (see
“Protecting Your Hearing—AVLS”).
• The sound cannot be turned down
all the way.
Note on the cassette holder
•When opening the cassette holder,
make sure the tape is stopped, then
slide the OPEN switch.
If the cassette holder is opened when
the tape is running, the tape may
loosen and be damaged.

BGetting Started
Choosing a Power
Source
Dry Battery (see Fig. A-A)
Attach the supplied battery case,
and then insert one R6 (size AA)
battery with correct polarity.
Be sure to insert it from the Eside
as illustrated.
Note
• For maximum performance we
recommend that you use a Sony
alkaline battery.
Rechargeable Battery (see
Fig. A-B)
1Insert the supplied
rechargeable battery
(NC-6WM for U.S.A., Canada,
European, Australian, and
Hong Kong model/NH-14WM
for other countries model) into
the charger with correct
polarity.
2Plug in the charger to the house
current (mains).
UK, Australian, and Hong
Kong model: Full charging
takes about 3.5 hours.
U.S.A., Canada, and European
Continent model: Full
charging takes about 2.5 hours.
Korean and other countries
model: Full charging takes
about 2 hours.
If the plug does not fit your
mains, attach the supplied AC
plug adaptor (Excluding
Korean model).
3Insert the fully charged battery
into the rechargeable battery
compartment (see Fig. A-C).
You can charge the battery about
300 times.
When to replace/charge
the battery
The battery remainder mark has 5
steps to show the remaining battery
power.
When the battery is exhausted, tape
playback will become unstable and
noisy, and then the tape will stop.
Replace or charge the battery when
“e” flashes in the display.
Display Condition
There is enough battery
power.
The battery power is
decreasing.
The battery is exhausted.
Replace it with a new
battery.
Notes
• When you insert a charged battery,
the battery remainder mark may
show “ ” even if it is not fully
charged. But the actual battery life is
shorter.
•The battery remainder mark may
temporarily show a lower level
during fast forwarding or rewinding
or use in extremely low
temperatures.

House Current
(see Fig. A-D) (Excluding
European models)
Remove the rechargeable battery if
inserted. Attach the battery case
and connect the AC power adaptor
AC-E15HG (not supplied) to the DC
IN 1.5 V jack of the battery case and
to the wall outlet.
Do not use any other AC power
adaptor.
Specifications for AC-E15HG vary
for each area. Check your local
voltage and the polarity of the plug
before purchasing.

Note
• When you are not sure of the
playback status, press the operation
button once. The Walkman will
return to normal playback (except
when you have pressed the
operation button during normal
playback).
Note on side A/B detection
• This Walkman detects the side being
played using the cavity on side A of
the cassette. If there is no cavity on
the cassette or the cavity is on side B,
the detection will not be done
correctly.
Note on AMS and Repeat Single
Track
• The AMS and Repeat Single
Track functions detect a blank of 4
seconds or longer between the
tracks. If there is noise between the
tracks, these functions may not
recognize the blank and may not
operate. Likewise, if there is a low-
level segment within a track, these
functions may recognize it as a blank
space.

BAdditional
Information
Precautions
On rechargeable battery and
charger
• Remove the charger unit from the
wall outlet as soon as possible
after the rechargeable battery has
been charged. Overcharging may
damage the rechargeable battery.
• The battery charger and the
rechargeable battery may become
warm during charging, but this is
not a problem.
• Do not tear off the film on the
rechargeable battery.
•Use only the supplied battery
charger to charge the supplied
rechargeable battery.
• Be sure not to short-circuit the
battery. When you carry it with
you, use the supplied carrying
case. If you are not using the case,
do not carry the battery with other
metallic objects such as keys rings
in your pocket.
• If the rechargeable battery is new
or has not been used for a long
time, it may not be charged
completely until you use it several
times.
• The nameplate indicating the
operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located on the
bottom exterior of the battery
charger.
On batteries
• 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.
On handling
• 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 a
long period of time, set it in the
playback mode to warm it up for
a few minutes before you start
using again.
On tapes longer than 90
minutes
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.
On the remote control
Use the supplied remote control
only with this unit.
On headphones/earphones
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 to a moderate
level. This will allow you to hear
outside sounds and to be
considerate to the people around
you.

in water. Do not use alcohol,
benzine or thinner.
Notes

and remote control plugs
periodically.
•Clean the terminals periodically
with a cotton swab or a soft cloth as
illustrated (see Fig. E).
