WM-FX195

A step up within the FX-series radio Walkman family, the FX195 added auto-reverse cassette transport to the standard FM/AM tuner and Mega Bass circuitry. The slightly larger plastic body still runs on two AA cells for around twenty-five hours, and the layout kept tuning and volume dials straightforward for quick adjustments on the move.

Sony introduced the auto-reverse here to address a common complaint about manual tape flipping in budget radio models. It gave everyday commuters a more convenient option without pushing the price into mid-range territory, reinforcing the FX line's role as functional instead of premium.
