X Series Service Manual in PDF

[viiv]

X Series service manual available for all. What I want to know though however is I am thinking of buying a Japanese model NW-X1060 for its ATRAC capability. However, as we all know, the FM band is different. There is mention of FM in the service mode, anyone with one able to see if they can indeed modify it to non Japanese FM frequency.

Moderator, can you please make this a sticky?

I don't understand. This unit has (according to the manual you posted) a "world band" range, i.e. 76 to 108 MHz which should include both Domestic (Japan) and overseas (eg US, UK) frequencies just fine.

Furthermore from reading the specs, I see no mention of ATRAC.

So, what I assume is that you have found that the Domestic model in fact supports ATRAC.

I just went through trying to modify a Japan-only unit (bookshelf) to use a different tuner block. I thought it would be enough to plug it in, but there are clearly some other differences in the Domestic unit.

Caveat emptor.

PS isn't analogue FM getting turned off soon? I read something about both GB and USA recently. Maybe it was only TV but I was wondering about precisely that this morning.

Did i understand the manual right, DAC settings cannot be edited from test mode? Ffs, where can I do it then? My ears scream DAC setting editing very bad.

It'll be done for sure but not for 5-10 years from now. Hd radio is about to replace the analogue system but the problem is that most people still have only the analog receiver, i can imagine which kind of havoc such closing of analog fm would do.

Very odd. This is not the same manual I looked at after the original upload (or I'm going crazy!). The setting to switch bands is clearly there. Also there is mention of .oma playback yet the specifications NOWHERE mention it (except to say some Atrac copyright stuff).

Hmm, fancy to help me in this situation? After entering either one of DAC->bass/treble gain it shows me the dB and hz values, but it wont let me to change them, tried every button of my X.

Very nice.

I'd like to see if someone figures out how to improve XK's human voice performance.
