The Japanese company\u00a0Oriolus\u00a0has released a new digital player, the body of which completely copies the first portable cassette player\u00a0Sony Walkman TPS-L2\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Moreover, all mechanical keys work and have virtually the same functions as in the original.\u00a0Start, pause, stop, rewind, and even the potentiometer sliders for channel-by-channel volume control work exactly the same as in the cassette predecessor.\u00a0Even two 3.5 mm jacks for connecting two pairs of headphones are retained, a 4.4 mm jack for balanced connection has been added to them.\u00a0The large orange button is responsible for the Mute function.<\/p>\n
