well by default firmware it is not possible without hacking the firmware itself. To all the clever hackers, hear our cries!

hold PLAY+MODE while in HOLD than press reset while holding the other two buttons. Release reset button and voila Please note that you can shift options. When HOLD is ON, every button stands for an option and when HOLD is OFF you have another set of options. Nevertheless I can't find any Volume option.

you forgot to mention that HOLD should be ON I did find the FR region code in test mode. If somehow we can manage to change this to another available regioncode through firmware hacking or whatever, maybe the volume limitation will be deactivated.

Thanks for the welcome:) I don't know, but could let's say a petition convince sony to release a volume-limit-free firmware next to the standard one??? It seems that apple has done this with their ipod.

Hi, I'm also new here as to atrac devices. Just bought the relativly new nw-e003. The only 2 things I hate about it are the limited volume and the inevitable use of sonicstage. Now, if the service manual doesn't show any solution to the volume problem, isn't it possible to reverse engineer the Lab_2.00.UPG firmware and hack this S.O.A.B. the real way??? There must be some people around good in firmware disassembling
