I have a NW-A805 and YES after this manipulation you win about 25% volume,the bass is much louder and there are not any losed quality!!!! You can now use your walkman in the metro or bus in Paris :)

Oui

FOR THE FRENCH people: Download and install the JAPANESE FW In the DEST AND SPSet CHOOSE US INSTEAD OF FR so you can set them OFF. In the walkman classic menu if you got english menu you can just turn it to French in the language menu WITHOUT losing the volume hack you just did Cheers! JAPANESE FW DOWNLOAD

Some people would consider that the volume of the A800 is enough,but I have found that with 80% of my songs between volume 20 and 30 there are no increase at all,also the volume seems high while in bed in a quite room but when you are jogging in the street the volume is low(tested with the original earphones),so how to enter the test mode and unlock the volume control like we could do it with the A1000?

The Japanese FW is an international one and the setup is in english so go and get it!!

So does it suppress the equalizer bug?

The new FW is out on the japanese support website Download it here thanks to babelfish traductor: FIRMWARE 1.02
