Correct. Neither the 6 band equalizer, VPT Acoustic Eng. or Dgtl. Snd Prests functions operate when playing MPEG files. I’ll post some pics. later this week.

‘Low Volta’ your help is very much appreciated. As are the comments from ‘physya’. Good news. I finally managed to install SS 3.1. No matter how many times I deleted all Sony SS and OpenMG files and registry data the new installation still terminated. I suspected it was an issue with the false entry in the 'ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS'. I decided to try and remove these entries as instructed at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314481 It worked!!! I will now play around with my new NW-HD5H and may even post a review in a couple of weeks. First impressions are very good with a quality of build that make the iPod look like a happy meal giveaway at McDonalds!!

Yes I've tried to remove all SS installation but I notice that in Windows Add/Remove programs it still lists Sonic Stage (1.5mb)!?! Could this be a problem?

Ok guys. My 1st post on here so be gentle with me! First of all I have I've read the Software FAQ above and followed the instructions but.......read on Just switched from MZ-N10 to the new NW-HD5H I had been using SonicStage 2.3 with no problems. However, I'm trying to install 3.1 from the supplied CDROM without any success. It installs the first few components successfully until it gets to 'SonicSatge' at this point the installation terminates with the simple statement that…..the installation has terminated. Any ideas!! Anyone else have a similar problem with this software? Any fixes thanks in advance! P.S. I've also tried to install from the net with similar results.
