Description:

Sony's WM-FX671 stereo cassette player is barely larger than the size of a standard cassette shell, making it portable enough--and, at just over half a pound--light enough to go anywhere you do. A built-in FM/AM radio broadens its uses, offering one-button tuning for 24 FM stations and eight AM stations. An FM local/distant (DX) switch improves reception of fuzzy stations.

The WM-FX671's automatic volume limiter system (AVLS) maintains an even volume level, guarding against unintended level increases and evening the output of musical passages that vary widely in level. Auto-reverse delivers uninterrupted playback of both sides of a cassette, and 16 x fast forward/rewind lets you hear sound at up to 16 times normal speed while the player is in fast-wind mode, helping you locate specific selections quickly. Making searches more specific, the unit's automatic music sensor (AMS) skips forward or backward on the tape across nine songs to play the one you want to hear, while blank skip passes over the blank (soundless) portions at the end of a side, auto reverses, and commences playback with the next side.

Mega Bass produces deep, rich bass tones. Groove Sound virtually doubles the bass enhancement of Mega Bass, and a feature called Sound Revitalizer enlivens the music's overall sonic character. An advanced anti-rolling mechanism maintains stable tape speed to minimize music-distorting "wow and flutter" while the player is in motion, and automatic shut-off (play/ff/rew) extends battery life and reduces both mechanical wear and tape wear by turning off the player at the end of the tape. Supplied MDR-WO34LP over-ear headphones offer wide dynamic range and clear sound, and the Walkman comes with a rechargeable battery offering up to 50 hours of playback (when used in conjunction with a single standard AA battery, not included).
