Single "AAA" Battery Operation provides hours of listening, and helps to make the Walkman® unit compact and inexpensive to use.

Convenient LED Display Angle & Easy-to-Use Up/Down Controls for Preset Tuning is designed for information to be easily read at a glance while "on the run".

Supplied Armband and Belt Clip, Ideal for Sports lets you "wear" your Walkman® player on your arm during activities, keeping your hands free.

Stop Watch, Split & Pitch Timer with split timer lets you record split times with the press of a button and makes your Walkman® player a valuable companion when jogging, sailing, or for any activity where timing is important.
