RE: VOLUME HACK I have just bought a new NWHD5 and successfully used the volume hack. However having looked at problems people have had using it I see that it is important to confirm the changes to the setting of SP. The best way I have found in menu changes generally is to back out of series of menu steps to the beginning of a menu. In other words go from the SP menu back to the "power" display before resetting. I went back forward into the menu to confirm the original SP change before the reset to be sure. My own reason for using the hack was not just to see if the volume could be increased but to see if it improved sound quality. Sony AVLS even at low volume uses makes the sound of the NWHD5 feel compressed and I now think the built in volume limit was having a similar effect. Now even at lower volumes the Sony sounds much more dynamic. The one down side is reduced playback time before the battery needs recharging. MDK - UK Lincoln, England.
