    IS MY NW-S706 FAKE?

    As sound quality seems to be the issue here I would take it back to where you bought it and demand a replacement. The fact that it doesn't have the country of origin stamped on the back isn't an issue now (Mine doesn't have it either). Blasting the stock buds for four hours won't improve sq. If you change the earbuds to EX90's you will loose the noise cancelation feature. This is a great unit with good sq using the stock buds. Get your self a replacement and see how that one sounds

    I can confirm that country of origin is NOT printed on the back of my S706F (European model). I bought mine from a central London UK Sony dealership.

    IS MY NW-S706 FAKE?

    Yes, the first picture arvacon posted the back of the unit appears to be black but on close inspection I see a hint of blue. In the last post by arvacon the unit appears to be two different colours, a black front and violet back. arvacon, please confirm colour of unit. Also was it reduced, ex-demo or something like that? Ascariss, you could be right re a repair job.
  4. Yes indeed. NC on, customise your eq and turn on the VPT. My favourite is Arena

    Long time no see,

    If it relates to mini disc you should post over at the sister forum, MDCF. There is a link to it on the drop down list of all the different forums

    Hang on a second, is this the same unit in both pictures? The front is black while the back is violet??? Surely not? My unit doesn't have the country of origin on the back either. I bought mine in a Sony Centre here in the UK.
  7. Use the A1000/A3000 charger, it's fine. I posted ages ago re this. I charge all my units through this charger with no problem what so ever.

    Just what I was thinking. I thought we had to post in English as this is an English speaking forum?
  9. Thanks Ascariss. Looks like I made the right choice re the wife's birthday present. She's never quite grasped SS and with drag and drop she can't go wrong. I'll find out after next Monday when I give it to her.

    I don't know if its possible but maybe you could get in contact with Sony to see if they can verify your serial number etc.

    I agree, it is a bit strange.

    If I was you I would take it back and let them know the problems you are having with the unit. Get a replacement and see how that goes. This is strange, this unit has very good sq.

    Looks fine to me, the usual packaging etc. I will have a look at my one later on tonight when I get home to see if it states the country of origin. I'm sure a few other forum members will pass comment.

    If you bought it from a big chain store then I would imagine it to be the real deal, but you never know. How long ago did you purchase it? You may be entitled to a refund. What makes you think it's a dud unit?

    Can you post pictures of your original packaging and paperwork/manuals that came with the player. Also where did you purchase it from?
  16. Purchased a CKH-NWA800 clear hard case from Juli for a very reasonable price. Juli is courteous, polite easy to get in contact with and a pleasure to do business with. Transaction took less than 2 days to complete. It was advertised Monday Evening and arrived on my desk Wednesday Morning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
  17. More sub-standard software from Sony then
  18. Congratulations on the new purchase Ascariss. I have the ATRAC variant my self, but have just purchased the NWZ-A816 for the wife in pink. How do you find using the player with WMP11 compared to Sonic Stage? I guess you wont have much use for the A3000/A1000 now?
  19. Many happy returns, Ishiyoshi and Stan*Stan.
  20. I would return it to Amazon ASAP.
  21. Have you tried the reset button?
  22. I wouldn't hold your breath. No more ATRAC and no more Sonic Stage. Spoke to a guy in my local Sony Centre today who told me that they were getting no more stocks of the NW-A8xx(ATRAC version) in, and from now on it would only be the NWZ-A81x(WMP 11 version) that would be stocked from now on.
  23. Yep, if you want gapless go for the original NW-A8xx range. Gapless playback is supported by ATRAC, and AAC I believe?

    No, I won't be using the surround all the time. Only for movies and dramas ie. Law & Order etc. I like your self will just have to adapt to the sq of the new TV. However, you could just run the two front speakers through your amp if you wanted better sq but not full on surround.
