Release date: November 2001 Operation confirmed. Operation confirmed with my gum battery. Comes with a genuine Kenwood remote control. Extra gum batteries are included. (We cannot guarantee their condition as they may be deteriorated.) Since there are operation buttons on the main unit, even if the remote control malfunctions, you can still use it by inserting headphones and operating the main unit. I think it's relatively clean, but there are some scratches and stains. Please understand that this is a used item that has been in use for many years. If you are concerned about future malfunctions due to aging or the current exterior scratches, please refrain from purchasing. Multiple item purchases are welcome. If you purchase with other items, you will receive a 300 yen discount on the second item, regardless of what it is.
