YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED TO HAVE EXTRA BATTERIES. THIS PORTABLE UNIT CAN EASILY BE TURNED ON BECAUSE OF THE OFF-ON BUTTON THAT IS EASILY PUSHED. IT HAS GOOD QUALITY AND I LIKE THE FACT YOU CAN PRESET PLENTY OF STATIONS ON THE FM DIAL. BUT IT BUGS ME THAT WHEN I PACKED IT IN MY SUITCASE FOR A TRIP- EVERY TIME I TOOK IT OUT IT WAS TURNED ON BECAUSE THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH TO THE ON-OFF SWITCH WILL TURN IT ON-- THE SWITCH IS ON THE FRONT OF THE UNIT AND IS A PUSH BUTTON. SO YOU NEED EXTRA BATTERIES BECAUSE IT COMES ON EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T TURN IT ON.

I bought this portable to use at the gym. It works great. There is now a HOLD button that when on does not allow accidental turning on of the unit and draining of batteries. I love the TV channels. The belt clip holds very well, even on the bottom of my workout shorts, upside down! . Very light and convienent for the gym. Great product.

the a-m receiver is better than any walkman type receiver i've owned. it works very well in the building where i work even though i'm not near a window.

Good sound and I like the presetting of the stations. The on/off switch does get annoying when I change from FM back to AM, because when you press the button from FM, it goes to OFF and you must press ON again. The am reception was a problem while driving.

This walkman features a hold switch. When the switch is activated none of the buttons including the On switch are functional. It is great to use while running or during any activity to stop against switching stations accidentaly. The sound is very good and the walkman is easy for anyone to program.

I had this tape player for about a month before it stopped working. The radio part still works, but it will no longer play tapes. I suggest you find another walkman that is of better quality, because frankly I think this one is a piece of junk.

Why does it seem that the LOUDEST people think the least? THe HOLD switch should be on every walkman. Just use it religiously and you will never drain your batteries or switch stations in the middle of a work out. Digital tuning is a personal requirement and TV is a cool feature. I'm less impressed with the durability. I go through these every year or so, but I take it to the beach a lot. Headphones mediocre, so I use my own, so with the right EQ setting it sounds great.
