AM/FM/Weather Band Radio
Use the Weather band to listen to up-to-the-minute weather from your local Weather Band broadcasts. A digital synthesized FM/AM stereo tuner provides the most accurate drift-free tuning, and the FM Local/Distant (DX) switch provides optimal reception of both near and distant stations.

Enjoy 33 preset stations for one-button tuning to your choice of seven TV, four WB, 24 FM stations, and five AM stations. Finally, use Digital Auto Preset Scanning to play a few seconds of each stored radio station in sequence before you make up your mind.

Power to Play
Enjoy up to 35 hours of extended battery life with 1 AA battery. The battery level indicator on the digital LCD provides visible indication of battery power. The WM-FX290 also boasts Automatic Volume Limiter System (AVLS), which can automatically adjust the volume of music passages that vary widely, for improved listener comfort and clear sound.

OLDER TECH, BUT USEFUL November 22, 2008
terrapinjerry (Boca Raton, Florida)
There is not much demand for cassette players in the world of CD's, mP3's, etc. However, if you have material on cassettes (I have teaching tapes that I made, and ones that I purchased), it is good to have available a reliable product from the prototypical manufacturer. This unit is handy, light-weight, and utilitarian enough for me to recommend. The price is acceptable, as well.

sony cassette player November 22, 2008
Jean Glidden
This player works reasonably well, but has one design flaw. The battery compartment door is flimsy and does not stay closed well, even brand new. The playback becomes intermittent when the door moves even a little. The only reason I need this machine (I have two due to battery door failure on the otherwise operable first one) is because I enjoy listening to recorded books, many of which are still only available on cassette.

TV channels a plus, but lousy durability November 20, 2008
B. Miller (Los Angeles, CA)
While I liked this product shortly after I got it, the battery door was flimsy enough not to last long. Now I can't get it to stay shut with the battery in it.

The use of only one AA battery instead of 2 is a plus if you are using NiMH batteries, but a minus if you are using other rechargeables -- the batteries won't last long.

I'm currently shopping for a player by a different brand, but a cheapo $9 Jensen one I got was even worse (actually far worse) than this.

Sound is good, but the carrying case is pretty flimsey and difficult to change tapes when out for a jog. Sony quality on sound, though.
