Sony WMFX277 Digital AM/FM Stereo Cassette Walkman Review

I bought this Walkman for the sole reason of owning one for the first timethat came with TV tuner, and I was a little disappointed at what it had tooffer.But first let me get to its high points.The first great thingabout it is its 35 preset stations.That's amazing, with seven offered forTV, seven for AM, and 21 for FM.They're all very easy to set.Then ithas for tape two different types of settings, normal setting and Cr02/Metalsetting in case you have those kind of tapes.There's also a hold buttonthat comes in very handy to keep yourself from accidently turning on thewalkman and draining the battery.And there's the AVLS that lowers thevolume instantly when you change from tape from tuner, and the MEGABASS,which greatly enhances the bass, provided you have a good headphone system. It even comes with a leather case in which you place the walkman inside. The leather case comes with a belt clip on it, which was kind of strangesince it would have been better if the belt clip was on the Walkmaninstead.Now for the setbacks.The advertisement said the Walkman lastsaround 25 hours playback, but it feels more like 14 to 15 hours playbackbefore the batteries run dry.I guess it depends on the kind of batteryyou buy.Also the leather case is nice but it's an awful hassle if youdecide to switch or changeover tapes while the leather case is on.Youhave to unstrap it, unplug the headphone, pull it out and put in orchangeover the tape, then strap it and plug the headphone back in.A nicefeature would have been a zipper where the cassette opener was so that wayall you had to do was zip it open and zip it closed, but maybe they'll doit next time.And now for the TV tuner.It is nice to hear TV channelsnow on the Walkman, but only if you don't mind being able to hear oneclearly, and the rest really grainy.I have tried every possible position,but for some reason my Walkman only picks up one channel very well, but therest really bad or not at all.I don't know, but it sort of set me backbecause I bought the thing for the TV tuner in the first place.Butoverall it's still a nice Walkman, with four modes of entertainment that'llkeep you entertained in the long run, for a mid-average price.
