Yes, this is what I thought regarding sound quality. If you look at your old CRT Trinitron, you will see that the speakers have that huge casing around them to resinate in just like a normal loud speaker. But with a flat screen you have practically nothing at all. What you really need is surround sound amp, sub woofer and 5 surround speakers. I already have a Sony surround sound amp and speakers so I will just use that once I get my new Panny Plasma The sq on my Trinitron is great, I will miss it. How much did you spend on a new scart lead? It's surprising how much they can cost. You do get a better picture though.

Congratulations re the new Bravia Juli. How do you find the sound and picture quality? My 12 year old Sony Trinitron is on it's way out so I will be going for a 42" Panasonic Viera Plasma. Picked up a pair of Sony MDR-V150 DJ phones for the pc (nice and cheap so it doesn't matter if the kids knock them about) and a pair of Sony MDR-V300 DJ phones for my self. The A806 drives them well.

The A806 a cheap/nasty unit??? I think not!

Sony now have a half decent advertising campaign going on the London Underground for the Walkman .

Hi and welcome to ATRAC Life. As far as we know there is no possible way to do this and unlikely there ever will be.

Yes indeed. The batteries in these devices should endure many charges and should last you a couple of years, by which time you will be looking for something else to listen to. Once the battery is dead the whole device is designed to be binned. All part of the throw away society we live in today.

not a nice feeling at all once you get your first scratch on you nice shiny walkman

Is the case cracked or scratched?

£17.99, that's the right price here in the UK

Amazon (yes, i'm sad i know )

Your having a laugh aren't you The supplied phones you have are worth more and sound much better than anything you would pick up for £10. Spend three to four times that and you should get something with good sound ie. Sennheiser CX300's

Yes, fall in love with ipod

nice clean unit, not a bad price either:)

Shinji, I will check this week for you Yep, I think your quite right.

Apparently the Sony Centres here in the UK started selling the NWZ-A810 series from today.

Hi and welcome to ATRAC Life Indeed the the A818 is selling cheaper than the older A808. Can't see the logic in it my self

These will be available here in the UK from Monday 1st October, as advertised by my local Sony Centre here in London this afternoon.

Yes, it's the USA's turn now. We got preference earlier in the year. I don't know why each region is treated differently. Maybe it's done as to make products more desirable in the regions that aren't getting the preferential treatment at that moment in time. You will always desire something more when you can't have it. It's a marketing ploy I'm sure. Oh well thats my opinion

Wait til Monday. I'm sure you can buy one direct from Sony. Where on planet Earth are you?

It's a WM Port cable you need. Contact Sony directly, there should be contact details on the Sony web site for your region.

My guess is that the current pricing is to tie in with the new 16 gig model (if that's what we are getting any time soon). It will probably sell for approx £200GBP.
