Maintenance

  • Clean the Walkman with a soft cloth, such as a cleaning cloth for eyeglasses.
  • To clean a Walkman that has gotten very dirty, use a cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Be careful not to get water inside the Walkman.
  • Do not clean with solvents such as alcohol, naphtha, or paint thinner. These solvents may damage the surface of the Walkman.
  • Clean the headphone plug occasionally with a soft dry cloth. Noise or sound skipping may occur if the plug is dirty.
