    Without connecting a headphone it wont work,. This is the way Sony made this walkman. I got some from eBay and they actually work (sellers didnt know about this fact)

    hi boodokhan, what could be the problem if the rewind/fastforward buttons work but the play button only works for 3 seconds then automatically stops? thank you.

    From my little technical knowledge, i think iT is something of motion control... If the walkman defects no rotation, iT stops after a short time...

    thank you. only the play rotation is defective.. it plays and rotates for 2-3 seconds then automatically stops. however, rewind and fast forward buttons all work well. thanks

    Yes, because only the play function is motion controlled... IT can happen with a mechanical , or with a sensor places on take up reel.. On that reel you have different partitions ( light - dark) And when iT rotates , the sensor is constant on-off-on-off, so as long as the device receive pulses, iT command to keep working.... Oefoef..... Sorry for my bad English....

    I'd check S-901. It may be a mechanical (not optical) sensor.
    Something like a simple piece of plastic holding two "needles" touching a plastic wheel (probably take-up spinner) with a metallic insert that contacts needles every turn.
    There is a service manual :readon hifiengine (free)
