Bluetyler Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) 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 onJust switched from MZ-N10 to the new NW-HD5HI 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.

The Low Volta Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 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?have you tried uninstalling exactly as described here? then there should be no more reference to SS anymore...none whatsoever. Once you have done that, directly install 3.1 (no earlier versions first)try this first... (you could also check whether you have 'ffdshow' installed, other codecpacks, nvidia drivers,...)greetings, Voltaps: I'm not pestering you with my questions, I'm just trying to get as much info as possible. I'm no software expert, just sometimes I gt reminded of another thread which mentions the same specs/problems...but anyway, the real software experts do appreciate all the info you can give, as it makes they're 'job' a bit easier...

Bluetyler Posted June 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I had this problem. Then I uninstalled and removed SS directory. Rebooted computer and installed it all again. It worked. Later, I removed that and installed a non-Connect version available in the download section. It worked just fine.←‘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=314481It 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Good news. I finally managed to install SS 3.1. I'm glad you've got your software working... that link you provide could also be useful for other ppl (haven't come across anyone else who mentioned he/she couldn't remove SS from the software list, but you never know )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!! ←if you can get hold of a digit camera, take some pics from all sides for a pictorial (always welcome) and a thorough product review will always be appreciated!greetings, VoltaPS: could you please report back on this question: does the 6 band equalizer on the HD5 really not work when playing MP3's? (as was stated by the sonystyle shop and quoted by me in this thread) perhaps you even could do the spectrum analysis from an MP3 played through the HD5 as some superb additional info to that same thread...

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.
