Amazon.com Product Description
Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, Sony's slim and lightweight WM-FX290 portable cassette player packs a convenient FM/AM/TV/weather band tuner and runs for up to 35 hours on a single AA battery. It offers 40 station presets (30 FM, 10 AM) and digital auto preset scanning. Tailor the sound to suit your preferences with its onboard Mega Bass sound system.

The unit's buttons are aligned in a single column for easy use. Its digital-synthesized FM/AM stereo tuner provides accurate, drift-free tuning of AM and FM stereo radio stations. With 1-button digital auto preset scanning, the tuner will play a few seconds of each memorized radio station, in sequence, to help you select stations for loading into memory.

A battery-level indicator on the LCD provides visible indication of when you may need to carry replacements, and the unit's Automatic Volume Limiter System (AVLS) automatically adjusts music passages that vary widely, improving your comfort.

An FM Local/Distant (DX) switch provides optimal reception of both near and distant stations and the device comes with headphones, a carry case, and a belt clip.

What's in the Box
Cassette player, stereo headphones (MDR-023) a carry case, a belt clip, and a user's manual.

3 out of 5 stars It Is What It Is, but it's not what you said   September 6, 2008

Every piece of written description of this Cassette Player from first to the one above says that it is a "Stereo Cassette Player with FM/AM/TV Weather tuning". THERE IS NO TV. THE VENDOR SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ITEM WITH TV. The vendor did agree to return my money, and that's all well and good, but I wanted TV. It got 3 stars because it's good for what it actually is. But not if you want TV.

I bought this as a replacement unit for my wife. She has several exercise cassette tapes and her old Walkman broke after about 15 years. This has proved to be a very worthy replacement. Plus it will come in handy as a weather radio during the hurricane season here in Miami.

I found that the sound on the tape player, was not good at all. At first I thought it was my tapes, because I had not play them in a while. Then I used another walkman and discover there was nothing wrong with my cassette tapes. It with this walkman that was sounding kind of muffled. Having said that the radio, I fine good and the sound was good, coming from the radio. I still love my tapes, and I hope, they don't do away with them completely.
