all right i'll just <.>grab we'll go over and have a look at them okay <&>they move over to where the walkmans are now <,> what are you likely to be using the walkman for do you need it to record <.>or well no for leisure use it's just for leisure all right <,> and you want one just to play tapes not to play c d or anything like that no no just a tape <{><[>it's to travel with so something quite <.>small compact but fairly good quality <[>all right okay when you say fairly good quality are you <&>13:00 prepared to <,> fork over the dollars for the quality <{><[>laughs <[>um voc exhales DEPENDS really um like i don't want it to be <,> too um when you're travelling usually most people find something like this walkman to be you know one of the better ones cos it's voc got the autoreverse function <{><[>on it okay so you <.>don't you just leave the tape in there and it turns itself over and over and over again um the other thing is you've got a bit of sound control in the front there with your extra base level which you can you know pump up or down as well as your normal base and trebles okay directional play on the top um just by flicking the switch across there you can just automatically go to the other side of the tape without having to take the tape out and turn it over <[>yeah okay as well as your fast forward and rewind and everything there also got a selector for um <,> where are we metal <&>pronounced as meddle er metal tapes <.>or or normal tapes depending on you know what's been recorded whether you've recorded from c d to tape or tape to tape and that's to make the most see it's got <.>the what's that tape to tape is <{><[>it <[><.>tape well <.>tape if you're recording from c d to tape you should <&>14:00 use a metal tape okay cos <{><[>it <.>get <[>oh should you yeah cause it gives <.>you gives you MUCH better reproduction <{1><[1>okay get <.>that you <.>know like c ds have got a <.>much you <.>know cleaner crisper sound <.>than than your normal tape so when you're recording it over you should use a higher quality tape <{2><[2>DOESn't matter you can use the other one but if you want the best sound <[1>oh <[2>right yeah then <.>that's that's the sort of tape you should use and <.>that's you know just your selector on the top <,> course your a m and f m and you've also got the option of f m stereo or mono most people just leave it on stereo <{><[>cos that's obviously the best thing to listen to <,> and your tuning across the top <,> now that comes with belt clip and it also comes with the TURBO headphones which are the ones you sit INside your EARS um which are also the best ones for sound <[>yeah the um <.>d <.>a but it can fit any other sort of phones <{><[>as well <[>yeah it'll take any other sort of phone the plug <.>o the plug on <.>it where are <.>we the plug there's just your standard three and a half mil phono plug which is what ALL <.>walkmans you know what ALL headphones will either <.>have they'll either have one like that or <{><[>a <,> or a six point three mil <&>rummages around for accessories two seconds the belt clip of course which all walkmans come with <&>more rummaging around seven seconds <&>15:00 and your headphones there <[>right i often find with THOSE headphones that your ears start getting really sore yep <.>this they also <.>have like with those ones they've got a sponge covers on them <{1><[1>so that <.>does cos i <.>know yeah i know what you mean with that sitting in your ear they do get sore after a while but the little <{2><[2>sponge covers reduce <{3><[3>that <[1>right <[2><.>not <[3>yeah <.>no not from actually sitting in the ear but from blocking the ear hole yeah you shouldn't have it up so loud <{><[>laughs <[>laughs no i don't have it up loud <{1><[1>laughs no like i prefer the <.>ones <{2><[2>the sort of bigger <,> yeah <[1>laughs don't you? <[2>that sit over your ear <,> yep all righty that one doesn't actually come with those headphones but we do <{><[>have <.>them you know we do have another range of headphones that you <.>can you know <.>if if you want to swap <.>them <[>oh right yeah um you know you <.>c you can <.>ta you can take some of the other ones that's no problem cos then you know you go into a whole different range of you know headphones again ones that just you know sit on your ear ones that cover your <{><[>whole ear <.>j just depending on what you're gonna use them for <[>yeah <{><[>so how much is that one <[>um that one there's only a hundred and twenty nine <&>16:00 ninety five um the next one up from that um something like that one okay and that's got a DIGITAL tuner on it for <.>your for your radio okay so get you know crystal clear radio stations coming in all the time mm and it's got basically the same functions <.>as as the um one i've just showed you there it's still got autoreverse the other thing it has on this is <.>doid is dolby noise reduction and you have <{><[><.>your you heard what that does and how that works? <[>right no what it is basically for using um <.>for for when you're playing back tapes that <.>you've that have been <.>re dubbed or recorded from other tapes cos you get that background hiss yeah and if you turn the dolby noise reduction ON it actually cuts back that hiss <{1><[1>okay so it makes <.>you just cleans up your music basically that's what that has <.>and and a few other options there still with your metal and chrome tapes extra base you either have ON or OFF you know whereas with that one can adjust the whole level <{2><[2>with that you've gotta have it on or OFF but the MAJOR feature for this is of course the digital tuner <[1>oh right <[2>right does it have the time as well <{><[>laughs that could be quite good <&>17:00 <[>no no no it doesn't have the time sorry no i'm sorry i'm lying to you yes it <{><[>does it does have the time under there there we go <[>does it AH so it's a clock as well yep when you turn it off oh that's quite handy and where do <.>y how can you change the time righty oh just from there time adjust <&>next utterance addressed to himself i think we'll have to turn it on <,,><&>5 oh no <&>SA adjusts the clock five seconds mm <,,><&>6 like that and you just use your plus or minus oh okay twenty four hour clock <&>next utterance addressed to himself what's your time now ten seventeen <,,><&>7 yep like so and then <{><[>you're set <[>already <,> oh that's quite handy three preset stations in there so you have you know z m more f m the breeze you know whatever you want to listen <.>to whatever your favourite ones are <&>18:00 and um do they plug into a um wall socket you CAN plug them into a wall socket but all of them have the um the adaptors <.>with er not the <.>ada <.>all all have the plug to put the adaptor in but they don't come WITH the adaptor right adaptors cost about forty dollars <{><[>to put them in <[><.>so yeah cos i'm going to be travelling around america so there's a different adaptor isn't <{><[>there <[>yep well what we <.>have well what you have to buy is you buy the adaptor FIRST okay which will just run it from the power and then you buy what's called a travel plug and then that'll plug it in you know anywhere around america so is that gonna be quite bulky um the ADAPTOR is the adaptor's pretty <.>b you know <{><[>the <.>adaptor's yeah <[>they <.>quite in in a box size yeah yeah the <.>p the plug itself which will change over to the american plugs <.>is you know is fairly small <{1><[1>all it is is just a conversion where you plug the adaptor into the back of that and then that into the wall <{2><[2>so you know <.>b voc then your travel pack starts to get a bit bulky <[1>mm <[2>mm yeah well you wouldn't be travelling <.>around i mean you wouldn't be USING it travelling around with a plug because you'd be off <.>batteries yeah wouldn't <{><[>you so doesn't really matter <[>yep yep and <.>with yeah <.>with with the batteries having that digital tune DOESN'T <&>19:00 actually run down the batteries any MORE than your you know conventional radio the biggest thing to eat up batteries is of course the tapes right yeah and that's where we'd suggest you buy something like <.>the you know the duracell alkaline batteries cos they last you know a lot longer than your <{1><[1>conventional ones OR rechargeables but then of course when you take rechargeables you've gotta have a reCHARGER <{2><[2>as well and <.>then you know <{3><[3>and then we're getting big <[1>mm <[2>yeah laughs <[3>are they quite big the rechargers yeah <.>they're we've got one over there <.>they're you don't <.>have yeah <,> <{><[>yeah <[>they're <.>fai fairly light cos like they have to <.>take they don't just take one size battery they take ALL size batteries so <{><[>AGAIN they <.>get you know the size gets up and that <[>mm tut so how much is this one that one there's a hundred and ninety nine right okay and then um oh we <.>had no someone's sold <.>it there's another one <.>like you know <.>sim similar to that that records for a hundred and ninety nine as well but it DOESN'T have the digital tuner <{><[>that's <.>the that's the big one with that <[>right with <{><[>the INbuilt microphone? <[><.>that's voc in built microphone it's a directional microphone as well to a degree so if you point <.>it you know the <.>sound'll sound'll follow <&>20:00 the microphone sits on top and will follow the sound round just by moving it around like that yep and um you don't sell sony at all er not at the moment no we're gonna be getting into um you know getting into sony probably in the next couple of months yeah and they're <.>m much more expensive aren't they yeah <.>usually depending on <.>what's you <.>know they <.>are yeah basically they are quite a bit more expensive because i want to buy one that people aren't gonna be attracted to steal <{><[>laughs <[>yep yep <.>but i mean it's just gonna be um a functional one it's not gonna be like MASSIVELY high quality sound <.>and yep just something to keep you company yep still the thing is though um you know like you were saying before you get sore ears and things like that a lot of that could be because you're NOT getting quality sound cos you're <{1><[1>getting you know noise <.>and you know what's called background noise in your tape <{2><[2>that could be <.>what you <.>know irritating and so on <.>doesn't you know doesn't help specially if you're on long trip if you're going <{3><[3>to AMERICA you're in for some LONG LONG trips <&>20:56 <[1>yeah true <[2>yeah <[3>yeah <,> true
