Great cassette player but poor TV reception

This is a great lightweight cassette player, but if you want to listen to TV and/or radio then be prepared to be disappointed. It's not as good as the older Sony WMFX-281.

Pros
  • Automatic station search and 40 preset stations; Auto Reverse
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Attention buyers! best in category Cassette Players & Recorders

I am very disappointed with my order. The on/off switch is located on the front of the player. Therefore, you may accidentally press or touch the "On" button. and not being aware of it (because you don't hear a single sound without earphones). Also the reception is not so good!

Pros
  • Includes dynamic in-ear headphones
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

I'm happy! Best Portable Audio and Video Player

I recently bought this player as a gift for myself for my birthday and am so happy with it that I have just ordered another one as a backup in case my first one breaks. Very satisfied, I like the auto reverse function because I listen to a lot of cassettes at work and it saves me having to stop work to turn the tape over when the first side is over. Wonderful device and inexpensive, great for audio book fans.

Pros
  • Stereo Walkman receives FM/AM, TV stations and weather channels; Cassette player plays regular cassettes
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price
