The WM-D3 was the smaller of the two Walkman Professional recording models, the other being the WM-D6/WM-D6C. It was based around the same mechanicals as the WM-DD, and so had the same familiar layout of controls. An unfamiliar addition though was the pause control, which had a sliding action. This worked by switching off the motor, so introduced no extra mechanical complexity. The extra bulk of the high quality recording circuits made the WM-D3 slightly larger than the other WM-2 derivatives, with the recording preamplifiers being housed in an extra section of casing at one end. Unlike most of these models, the tape transport keys were part of the outer casework. For convenient desktop use, rubber feet were fitted to the four corners of the cassette door so that the machine could be placed “upside down” and operated without the need for a second hand to hold it steady. All the text and symbols were printed to be the correct way up when the machine was used this way.

The replacement model for the TC-100 looked very similar but had been updated and improved in just about every possible way. Additions included a built-in electret condenser microphone, a new amplifier based around a special Sony integrated circuit (also shared with the TC-40), latching fast forward and rewind keys, a review function, a tape counter, a DC inlet socket for use with a car adaptor and a revised layout of the power supply section which was now constructed on a printed circuit board. Behind these changes the rest of the recorder stayed much the same with the styling and accessories remaining unaltered. There were now cheaper machines in the Sony range but the TC-110 was sold as high quality model for the more serious user.
