Notes on cleaning

  • Clean your Walkman with a soft cloth, such as a cleaning cloth for eyeglasses.

  • Should your Walkman become excessively dirty, clean it with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or mild detergent solution.

  • Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzene, as doing so may damage the surface of your Walkman.

Cleaning the earbuds

Remove the earbuds from your Walkman, and wash them by hand with a mild detergent solution. After washing the earbuds, wipe them well.

Cleaning after use during sports

If perspiration, pool water, sand or dirt gets on your Walkman, rinse off the terminals and the headphone driver unit of your Walkman with gently running tap water, and then dry them well.
Dirty terminals on your Walkman may cause poor connections with the USB cradle.
In addition, foreign materials such as ear wax adhering to the headphones may cause the sound to become muffled or prevent the volume from rising.
