It's completely waterproof, including the battery charging base. Uses magnetic induction for charging, as opposed to metal contacts! As far as I know, these were never even sold retail, but a few hundred marketing prototypes were produced to feel out the market. I really don't know too much about it, but there is a service manual published, as there also is for the never-sold PVM-4300 CRT set.

Actually it's the Sony "Splash", not "Splashman".
They were sold retail, I bought my first one at American TV & Appliance in Madison, WI in the mid 1990's. Used it for about a week, then back into the box. Just a novelty, too small to really watch. Still have it.
Bought another one a few years back at a rummage sale just two blocks from my house.
