• A:Answer A copy of the Sony SRF-M85W Walkman |SKU:8692453 operating instructions and marketing specifications can be downloaded in Adobe PDF Document format in the Support section (Online Product Support, Manuals, Specs, & Warranty subsection) of the www.SonyStyle.com website. I recommend that you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed on your computer for this download request for maximum viewing and printing compatibility. Make sure to enter the correct model number of this unit to obtain the product support document that you are seeking. To set the clock, make sure to press the Display button as many times as necessary to enter the clock mode. Next, Press the Tune/Time set +/- buttons as many times as needed to adjust the hour up or down one digit at a time until the hour setting is correct. Press the Enter button once to confirm the correct hour and now the flashing minutes indicator will appear in the LCD. An audible beep can also be heard so that you can begin to adjust the minutes setting. Once again, press the Tune/Time set +/- buttons as many times as needed to adjust the minutes to the current time. Press the Enter button again to confirm that the time is now correct. Additionally, the clock starts to run as soon as two audible beeps occur immediately after the minutes are set. Please note that continuous presses or holding of the Tune/Time set controls advances the hour or minute digits rapidly until you stop pressing the buttons. The system clock is displayed in a 12-hour time format system. The Sony SRF-M85W Walkman can store up to 25 stations in memory (15 FM Band Stereo presets, 5 AM Band Stations presets, and 5 NOAA Weather Band station presets). To store stations into memory you must take the following steps: 1. Make sure that the Sony Walkman is powered on. 2. Make sure that stereo headphones are connected to this unit. 3. Press the Band button to select AM, FM, or WB for the broadcast band that you seek to program stations in. 4. Press the Tune/Time set +/- controls to locate the station frequency that you are looking for. 5. Make sure the volume is turned up to a sufficient level so that you can hear the particular station selected. 6. Press and hold the Enter button until the desired preset number flashes. Press the Tune/Time set +/- controls to select the preset number of your choice that you want to store the station on. Press the Enter button to confirm the new preset station number. You must repeat the programming steps as many times as necessary to fill all available preset station numbers in their respective broadcast bands. Manual preset tuning mode can’t take placed if the “P” Preset mode indicator appears in the LCD. The Mode button must be pressed once to remove the “P” indicator from the LCD to enter the preset tuning mode, if desired. Please note that you can delete a preset station if desired. Personally, I recommend that you use a high-performance Duracell Coppertop or Energizer Max alkaline or Energizer advanced long-life lithium AAA battery for maximum performance from this unit for daily portable audio usage. The operating instructions for this product are included in the product packaging at the time of purchase. Good Luck.

Q: QuestionDoes radio have a clock? Clocks drain battery when radio not in use. I am looking for a radio that has no battery drain when turned off.

Asked 8 years ago by TD.

• A:Answer Don't worry about battery life with the clock. I bought this radio about 2 months ago and finally had to change the battery. The battery I installed initially was a Harbor Freight battery so not high end. I'm pleased with the battery life.

Q: Questionwant to buy headphones onlywhere can I find the headphones for the S2 sports walkman armband radio.headphones( only).

Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes. The S2 Sports headphones for the Sony SRF-M85W FM Stereo/AM/NOAA WB Walkman Digital Armband Radio|SKU:8692453 can be purchased separately from the Best Buy Parts Store at http://bestbuy.partsearch.com or click the PartStore link on the bottom of the bestbuy.com website. The original factory supplied headphones are the Sony MDR-W014 S2 Sports Stereo Headphones, replacement Sony Part #8-953-284-97 (Sony MDR-W014LP), and the current purchase price is $50.45. The Sony MDR-W014 S2 earphones provide the following feature set: lightweight sports clip water-resistant stereo headphone design, in-the-ear style headphones, white, black, and orange headphone color scheme, 13mm (0.51”) diameter dynamic stereo speaker drivers, 50Hz-20,000Hz headphone driver frequency response rating for full-range bass, treble, and midrange sound reproduction, dual-sided headphone cord, slim adjustable headband for convenient portable outdoor usage, and 3.5mm (1/8”) L-shaped silver-plated mini plug connector provides maximum signal transfer from the Armband radio to your ears.The pricing and availability of the Sony OEM S2 Sports headphones at the Best Buy Parts Store is subject to change without notice. Please note that you are not limited to purchasing the original headphones that came with the Sony S2 Sports SRF-M85W Walkman as replacement or aftermarket upgrade earphones for your high-performance sports model Sony SRF-M85W Walkman. You can purchase just about any pair of stereo headphones that Best Buy or the Best Buy Marketplace sells with a 3.5mm stereo mini plug connector within your budget to attach to the green color-coded 3.5mm stereo headphone jack that is found on the Sony SRF-M85W S2 Sports Walkman. The Sony SRF-M85W Walkman’s 3.5mm stereo headphone output jack is compatible with the following private listening session accessories: monaural earphone, dynamic driver stereo headphones, HD driver stereo headphones, electrostatic transducer stereo headphones, noise-canceling stereo headphones, extra bass driver stereo headphones, DJ stereo headphones, studio monitor stereo headphones, ear buds, water-resistant stereo earphones, a portable stereo headphone amplifier, and a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack splitter for simultaneous multiple user headphone listening sessions. The Sony SRF-M85W Walkman is capable of producing prodigious sound output from this unit’s built-in stereo headphone amplifier. However, your choice of stereo headphones will greatly affect the sound quality and dynamic overall loudness output from the Sony SRF-M85W Walkman. To achieve excellent loudness output, use stereo headphones that offer a low impedance level typically between 24-32 ohms measured at 1 kHz. Additionally, look to purchase Sony stereo headphones that feature a high sensitivity rating. Look for Sony stereo headphones with a sensitivity rating between 100db-117db/mW, large diameter neodymium rare-earth magnet drivers between 30-70mm, 4-10 ft. oxygen-free-copper Litz wire connecting cord, CCAW voice coils, and high output power handling capacity (500-3,000mW) for a sensational private listening experience indoors or outdoors. Personally, I believe that Sony MDR DJ style or Studio Monitor Series stereo headphones are the best choice for this high-end private listening application. Additionally, I recommend any of the following Sony stereo headphones to achieve high-fidelity private listening sessions on the Sony SRF-M85W Walkman: 1. Sony MDR-XB1000, 2. Sony MDR-XB700, 3. Sony MDR-XB500, 4. Sony MDR-XB300, 5. Sony MDR-V900HD, 6. Sony MDR-Z1000, 7. Sony MDR-V700DJ, 8. Sony MDR-V600, 9. Sony MDR-V500DJ, 10. Sony MDR-V300, 11. Sony MDR-V150, 12. Sony MDR-V250V, 13. Sony MDR-V6, 14. Sony MDR-V55/BR, 15. Sony MDR-ZX600/BLK, 16. Sony MDR-X10/BLK, 17. Sony MDR-X10/RED, 18. Sony MDR-XB800, 19. Sony MDR-XB600, 20. Sony MDR-XB400/GRN, 21. Sony MDR-G45LP, 22. Sony MDR-210LP, 23. Sony MDR-110LP, 24. Sony MDR-ZX100/BLK, 25. Sony MDR-NC8/BLK, 26. Sony XBA-S65, 27. Sony MDR-AS40EX, 28. Sony MDR-AS30G, 29. Sony MDR-W08L, and 30. Sony MDR-XB400/BLU.
