  <WSC#DGZ049:0005:CL>
      right yeah i was <?>after</?> a walkman

  <WSC#DGZ049:0010:SA>
      a walkman?

  <WSC#DGZ049:0015:SA>
      all right i'll just <.>grab</.> we'll go over and have a look at
      <?>them</?> <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0020:CL>
      okay <&>they move over to where the walkmans are</&>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0025:SA>
      now <,>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0030:SA>
      what are <?>you</?> likely to be using the walkman for

  <WSC#DGZ049:0035:SA>
      do you need it to record <.>or</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0040:CL>
      well no <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0045:SA>
      for leisure use

  <WSC#DGZ049:0050:CL>
      it's just for leisure

  <WSC#DGZ049:0055:SA>
      all right <,> and you want one just to play tapes not to play c
      d or anything like that

  <WSC#DGZ049:0060:CL>
      <slowly>no</slowly> no just a tape

  <WSC#DGZ049:0065:CL>
      <{><[>it's</[> to travel with so something quite <.>small</.>
      compact but fairly good quality

  <WSC#DGZ049:0070:SA>
      <[>all right</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0075:SA>
      okay

  <WSC#DGZ049:0080:SA>
      when you say fairly good quality <?>are</?> you <&>13:00</&>
      prepared to <,> fork over the dollars for the <laughs>quality</laughs>
      <{><[><O>laughs</O></[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0085:CL>
      <[>um</[></{> <O>voc</O> <O>exhales</O> DEPENDS really um

  <WSC#DGZ049:0090:CL>
      like i don't want it to be <,> too um

  <WSC#DGZ049:0095:SA>
      when you're travelling usually most people find something like
      this walkman to be you know one of the better ones cos it's <O>voc</O>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0100:SA>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0105:SA>
      directional play on the top

  <WSC#DGZ049:0110:SA>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0115:CL>
      <[>yeah</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0120:CL>
      <slowly>okay</slowly> <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0125:SA>
      as well as your fast forward and rewind <quickly>and everything
      there</quickly>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0130:SA>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0135:SA>
      <?>and that's to make the most</?> see it's got <.>the</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0140:CL>
      what's that tape to tape is <{><[>it</[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0145:SA>
      <[><.>tape</.></[></{> well <.>tape</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0150:SA>
      if you're recording from c d to tape you should <&>14:00</&> use
      a metal tape okay cos <{><[>it <.>get</.></[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0155:CL>
      <[>oh should</[></{> you

  <WSC#DGZ049:0160:SA>
      yeah cause it gives <.>you</.> gives you MUCH better
      reproduction <{1><[1>okay</[1>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0165:SA>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0170:SA>
      <{2><[2>DOESn't</[2> matter you can use the other one but if you
      want the best sound

  <WSC#DGZ049:0175:CL>
      <[1><?>oh</?></[1></{1>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0180:CL>
      <[2>right</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0185:CL>
      yeah

  <WSC#DGZ049:0190:SA>
      <?>then</?> <.>that's</.> that's the sort of tape you should use
      and <.>that's</.> you know just your selector on the top <,>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0195:SA>
      course your a m and f m and you've also got the option of f m
      stereo or mono

  <WSC#DGZ049:0200:SA>
      most people just leave it on stereo <{><[>cos</[> that's
      obviously the best thing to listen to <,>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0205:SA>
      and your tuning across the top <,>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0210:SA>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0215:CL>
      <[>yeah</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0220:CL>
      the um <.>d</.> <.>a</.> but it can fit any other sort of phones
      <{><[>as well</[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0225:SA>
      <[>yeah</[></{> <?>it'll</?> take any other sort of phone

  <WSC#DGZ049:0230:SA>
      the plug <.>o</.> the plug on <.>it</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0235:SA>
      <quickly>where are <.>we</.></quickly>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0240:SA>
      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</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0245:SA>
      they'll either have one like that or <{><[><?>a</?></[> <,> or a
      six point three mil <&>rummages around for accessories two
      seconds</&>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0250:SA>
      the belt clip of course which all walkmans come with <&>more
      rummaging around seven seconds</&> <&>15:00</&>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0255:SA>
      and <?>your</?> headphones there

  <WSC#DGZ049:0260:CL>
      <[>right</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0265:CL>
      i often find with THOSE headphones that your ears start getting
      really sore

  <WSC#DGZ049:0270:SA>
      yep <.>this</.> they also <.>have</.> like with those <?>ones</?>
      they've got a sponge covers on them <{1><[1>so that</[1> <.>does</.>
      cos i <.>know</.> yeah i know what you mean

  <WSC#DGZ049:0275:SA>
      with that sitting in your ear they do get sore after a while but
      the little <{2><[2>sponge</[2> covers reduce <{3><[3>that</[3>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0280:CL>
      <[1>right</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0285:CL>
      <[2><.>not</.></[2></{2>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0290:CL>
      <[3>yeah <.>no</.></[3></{3> not from actually sitting in the
      ear but from blocking the ear hole

  <WSC#DGZ049:0295:SA>
      <?>yeah</?> you shouldn't have it up so loud <{><[><O>laughs</O></[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0300:CL>
      <[><O>laughs</O></[></{> no i don't have it up loud <{1><[1><O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0305:CL>
      no like i</[1> prefer the <.>ones</.> <{2><[2>the sort of bigger
      <,> yeah</[2>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0310:SA>
      <[1><O>laughs</O> <?>don't you?</?></[1></{1>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0315:SA>
      <[2>that sit over your ear <,>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0320:SA>
      yep</[2></{2> all righty

  <WSC#DGZ049:0325:SA>
      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</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0330:CL>
      <[><?>oh</?> right</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0335:CL>
      yeah

  <WSC#DGZ049:0340:SA>
      um you know you <.>c</.> you can <.>ta</.> you can take some of
      the other ones

  <WSC#DGZ049:0345:SA>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0350:CL>
      <[>yeah</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0355:CL>
      <{><[>so</[> how much is that one

  <WSC#DGZ049:0360:SA>
      <[>um</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0365:SA>
      that one there's only a hundred and twenty nine <&>16:00</&>
      ninety five

  <WSC#DGZ049:0370:SA>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0375:CL>
      <quietly>mm</quietly>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0380:SA>
      and it's got basically the same functions <.>as</.> as the um
      one <?>i've</?> just showed you there

  <WSC#DGZ049:0385:SA>
      it's still got autoreverse

  <WSC#DGZ049:0390:SA>
      the other thing it has on this is <.>doid</.> is dolby noise
      reduction

  <WSC#DGZ049:0395:SA>
      and you have <{><[><.>your</.></[> you heard what that does and
      how that works?

  <WSC#DGZ049:0400:CL>
      <[><quietly>right</quietly></[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0405:CL>
      <quietly>no</quietly>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0410:AA>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0415:CL>
      yeah

  <WSC#DGZ049:0420:SA>
      and if you turn the dolby noise reduction ON it actually cuts
      back that hiss

  <WSC#DGZ049:0425:SA>
      <{1><[1>okay so it</[1> makes <.>you</.> just cleans up your
      music basically

  <WSC#DGZ049:0430:SA>
      that's <?>what</?> that has <.>and</.> and a few other options
      there

  <WSC#DGZ049:0435:SA>
      still with your metal and chrome tapes

  <WSC#DGZ049:0440:SA>
      extra base you either have ON or OFF you know whereas with that
      one can adjust the whole level

  <WSC#DGZ049:0445:SA>
      <{2><[2>with</[2> that you've gotta have it on or OFF but the
      MAJOR feature for this is of course the digital tuner

  <WSC#DGZ049:0450:CL>
      <[1>oh right</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0455:CL>
      <[2>right</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0460:CL>
      does it have the time as well <{><[><O>laughs</O> <laughs>that
      could be quite good</laughs></[> <&>17:00</&>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0465:SA>
      <[>no no no it doesn't have the</[></{> time sorry

  <WSC#DGZ049:0470:SA>
      no i'm sorry i'm lying to you

  <WSC#DGZ049:0475:SA>
      yes it <{><[>does</[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0480:SA>
      it does have the time under there

  <WSC#DGZ049:0485:SA>
      there we go

  <WSC#DGZ049:0490:CL>
      <[>does it</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0495:CL>
      AH so it's a clock as well <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0500:SA>
      yep when you turn it off

  <WSC#DGZ049:0505:CL>
      <?>oh</?> that's quite handy and where do <.>y</.> how can you
      change the time

  <WSC#DGZ049:0510:SA>
      righty oh just from there

  <WSC#DGZ049:0515:SA>
      time adjust

  <WSC#DGZ049:0520:SA>
      <&>next utterance addressed to himself</&> i think we'll have to
      turn it on <,,><&>5</&>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0525:SA>
      <quietly><?>oh no</?></quietly> <&>SA adjusts the clock five
      seconds</&>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0530:CL>
      mm <,,><&>6</&>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0535:SA>
      <?>like that</?> and you just use your plus or minus

  <WSC#DGZ049:0540:CL>
      oh okay <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0545:SA>
      twenty four hour clock

  <WSC#DGZ049:0550:SA>
      <&>next utterance addressed to himself</&> what's your time now

  <WSC#DGZ049:0555:SA>
      ten seventeen <,,><&>7</&>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0560:CL>
      yep

  <WSC#DGZ049:0565:SA>
      like so and then <{><[>you're set</[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0570:CL>
      <[>already</[></{> <,>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0575:CL>
      oh <?>that's</?> quite handy

  <WSC#DGZ049:0580:SA>
      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</&>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0585:CL>
      and um do they plug into a um wall socket <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0590:SA>
      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 <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0595:CL>
      right

  <WSC#DGZ049:0600:SA>
      adaptors cost about forty dollars <{><[><?>to put them in</?></[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0605:CL>
      <[><.>so</.></[></{> yeah cos i'm going to be travelling around
      america so there's a different adaptor isn't <{><[>there</[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0610:SA>
      <[>yep</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0615:SA>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0620:CL>
      so is that gonna be quite bulky

  <WSC#DGZ049:0625:SA>
      <slowly>um</slowly> the ADAPTOR is

  <WSC#DGZ049:0630:SA>
      the adaptor's pretty <.>b</.> you know <{><[>the <.>adaptor's</.>
      yeah</[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0635:CL>
      <[>they <?><.>quite</.></?> in in a box <?>size</?></[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0640:SA>
      yeah yeah

  <WSC#DGZ049:0645:SA>
      the <.>p</.> the plug itself which will change over to the
      american plugs <.>is</.> you know is fairly small

  <WSC#DGZ049:0650:SA>
      <{1><[1>all</[1> 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</[2>
      you know <.>b</.> <O>voc</O> then your travel pack starts to get
      a bit bulky <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0655:CL>
      <[1>mm</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0660:CL>
      <[2>mm</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0665:CL>
      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</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0670:SA>
      yeah

  <WSC#DGZ049:0675:CL>
      wouldn't <{><[>you so doesn't really matter</[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0680:SA>
      <[>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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0685:SA>
      the biggest thing to eat up batteries is of course the tapes

  <WSC#DGZ049:0690:CL>
      right yeah

  <WSC#DGZ049:0695:SA>
      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</[1> ones OR
      rechargeables but then of course when you take rechargeables
      you've gotta have a reCHARGER <{2><[2>as well and <.>then</.></[2>
      you know <{3><[3><?>and then we're</?> getting big</[3>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0700:CL>
      <[1><quietly>mm</quietly></[1></{1>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0705:CL>
      <[2>yeah <O>laughs</O></[2></{2>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0710:CL>
      <[3>are they quite big</[3></{3> the rechargers

  <WSC#DGZ049:0715:SA>
      yeah <.>they're</.> we've got one over there <.>they're</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0720:CL>
      <quickly>you don't <.>have</.></quickly> yeah <,> <{><[>yeah</[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0725:SA>
      <[><?>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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0730:CL>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0735:CL>
      <O>tut</O> so how much is this one

  <WSC#DGZ049:0740:SA>
      that one there's a hundred and ninety nine

  <WSC#DGZ049:0745:CL>
      right

  <WSC#DGZ049:0750:SA>
      okay and then um oh we <.>had</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0755:SA>
      <?>no</?> someone's sold <.>it</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0760:SA>
      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

  <WSC#DGZ049:0765:CL>

      point <.>it</.> you know the <.>sound'll</.> sound'll follow
      <&>20:00</&>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0790:SA>
      the microphone sits on top and <?>will</?> follow the sound
      round just by moving it around like that yep

  <WSC#DGZ049:0795:CL>
      and um you don't sell sony at all

  <WSC#DGZ049:0800:SA>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0815:SA>
      yeah <.>usually</.> depending on <.>what's</.> you <.>know</.>
      they <.>are</.> yeah basically

  <WSC#DGZ049:0820:SA>
      they are quite a bit more expensive

  <WSC#DGZ049:0825:CL>
      because i want to buy one that people aren't gonna be attracted
      to steal <{><[><O>laughs</O></[>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0830:SA>
      <[><quietly><?>yep</?></quietly> yep</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0835:CL>
      <.>but</.> i mean it's just gonna be um a functional one

  <WSC#DGZ049:0840:CL>
      it's not gonna be like MASSIVELY high quality sound <.>and</.>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0845:SA>
      yep

  <WSC#DGZ049:0850:CL>
      just something <drawls>to keep you company</drawls>

  <WSC#DGZ049:0855:SA>
      yep still the thing is though um

  <WSC#DGZ049:0860:SA>
      you know like you <?>were</?> saying before you get sore ears
      and things like that

  <WSC#DGZ049:0865:SA>
      a lot of that could be because you're NOT getting quality sound
      cos you're <{1><[1>getting you know</[1> noise <.>and</.> you
      know what's called background noise in your tape <{2><[2>that</[2>
      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</?></[3> in
      for some LONG LONG trips <&>20:56</&>
